At what speed does a falling hailstone travel? Does the speed depend on the distance that the hailstone falls?

Physics
1 answer:
Anton [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:The speed if hailstone dependly largely on its size. A hailstone with a diameter of 0.39 inches,falls wit a speed of 20mph while a hailstone with 3.1 inches in diameter falls at a speed of 110mph.

No speed does not depend on the distance that the hailstone falls.

Explanation: There are other factors that affect the speed of the falling hailstone apart from its size.They are:

1. Friction between the air and the hailstone

2. Wind condition( windy or moist air)

3. The rate at which it melts falling.

A laser pulse with wavelength 532 nm contains 3.85 mj of energy. how many photons are in the laser pulse?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:<em> </em><em>1.04 × 10¹⁶ photons</em>


Explanation:


1) Data:

  • E = 3.85mJj (mili joules) = 3.85×10⁻³ J
  • λ = 532 nm = 532 × 10⁻⁹ m
  • number of photons ?

2) Physical principles

a) The energy of a photon is given by the equation E = hν.

Where:

  • h is Planck's constant 6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ J×s
  • ν is the freguency of the light

b) The wavelength, λ, and the frequency, are related by the equation:

  • ν = c / λ, where c is the speed of light at vacuum, approximately 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

3) Solution:

  • ν = c / λ = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s / (538 nm) × 10⁹ nm/m = 5.576×10¹⁴ Hz

  • E = hν = 6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ J×s s × 5.576×10¹⁴ Hz = 3.69 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J

  • Divide the total energy by the energy of one photon to find the number of photons:

         3.85×10⁻³ J / 3.69 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J-photon = 1.04 × 10¹⁶ photons ← answer
