Oh ! You just said "energy". So it's going to be measured in Joules.

A photon of red light (wavelength = 710 nm) and a ping-pong ball (mass = 2. 40 × 10^-3 kg) have the same momentum. At what speed

Paha777 [63]

The speed of the ball moving is

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$

what is momentum?

The momentum p of a classical object of mass m and velocity v is given by pclassical =mv.

For photons with wavelength λ,this equation does not hold.Instead, the momentum of the Photon is given by p Photon = h/λ

where,h is the planck's constant.

The momentum of the red Photon is

given:

$h = 6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}^{2}/s(plancks \: constant)$

$λ = 700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m(photons \: wavelength)$

$p \: photons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {} ^{2}/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9}m }$

$= 9.47 \times 10 {}^{ - 28}kgm /s$

since,the Photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum,we have

$pball = pphotons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }$

$pball = mv,m = 2.40 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}kg$

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25} m/s$

Therefore, if the red photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum, the ping-pong ball must have a speed of approximately

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a

blagie [28]

Answer:

The maximum speed at which the car can safety travel around the track is 18.6m/s.

Explanation:

Since the car is in circular motion, there has to be a centripetal force $F_c$ . In this case, the only force that applies for that is the static frictional force $f_s$ between the tires and the track. Then, we can write that:

$f_s=F_c$

And since $f_s\leq \mu N$ and $F_c=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$ , we have:

$\mu N\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

Now, if we write the vertical equation of motion of the car (in which there are only the weight and the normal force), we obtain:

$N-mg=0\\\\\\implies N=mg$

Substituting this expression for $N$ and solving for $v$ , we get:

$\mu mg\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}\\\\v\leq \sqrt{\mu gr}$

Finally, plugging in the given values for the coefficient of friction and the radius of the track, we have:

$v\leq \sqrt{(0.42)(9.81m/s^{2})(84.0m)}\\\\v\leq 18.6m/s$

It means that in its maximum value, the speed of the car is equal to 18.6m/s.
