Answer:

It's continuous except for a pair of dark lines.

They are very close together in the yellow/orange section of the spectrum.

If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta necessarily equal? explain.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

No the given statement is not necessarily true.

Explanation:

We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Similarly the momentum is given by $m\times v$

For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by

$K.E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}$

$K.E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

Similarly For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective momenta are given by

$p_{1}=m_{1}\times v_{1}$

$p_{2}=m_{2}\times v_{2}$

Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have

$\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}\\\\(m_{1}v_{1})\times v_{1}=(m_{2}v_{2})\times v_{2}\\\\p_{1}\times v_{1}=p_{2}\times v_{2}\\\\\therefore \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}............(i)$

Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.

A light bulb has a voltage of 36 and a current of 8 A. Calculate the resistance of the light bulb

timurjin [86]

R = U : I. U is in Voltage and I is in Ampère. That gives you R = 36 : 8 = 4,5 Ohm

Which statement is true about an atom and an element?

Lemur [1.5K]

"An atom is the smallest unit of matter and an element is a pure substance that is made of identical atoms" is correct. Although atoms can be broken down further now, it still take a whole atom to make an element.

Alternating Current In Europe, the voltage of the alternating current coming through an electrical outlet can be modeled by the

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

$\frac{50}{\pi }$ Hz

Explanation:

In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;

V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф) -----------------(i)

Where;

V = amplitude value of the voltage

ω = angular frequency = 2 π f [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]

Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.

Now,

From the question,

V(t) = 230 sin (100t) ---------------(ii)

By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;

V = 230

ω = 100

Ф = 0

But;

ω = 2 π f = 100

2 π f = 100 [divide both sides by 2]

π f = 50

f = $\frac{50}{\pi }$ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the voltage is $\frac{50}{\pi }$ Hz
