Answer:

(a) They must have same direction

(b) It is not necessary for them to have same magnitudes

Explanation:

(a)

Momentum is a vector quantity. It is the product of mass (scalar) and velocity (vector). Thus, if the direction of velocity is changed, then as a result the direction of momentum will also change or its magnitude or component in the same direction will change. Hence, for the two objects to have same momentum, the directions of their velocities must also be the same.

(b)

Since, the momentum is product of velocity and mass. It is possible that two bodies of different masses with different velocities might have same momentum, provided the direction of their velocities is same.

For example, take a body of mass 4 kg moving with speed 5 m/s. It will have a momentum of 20 N.s. Now, consider another body of mass 2 kg, moving with speed 10 m/s. It will also have a momentum of 20 N.s.

Thus, it is not necessary for two objects to have same magnitude of velocity to have same momentum.

Photons with the highest energy have the ____
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

D. shortest wavelength

Explanation:

Photons with the highest energy have the shortest wavelength. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of a photon.

A photon is a quantity that transmits electromagnetic energy from one place to the other.

  • Gamma rays have photons that transmits the highest amount of energy.
  • The rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of all electromagnetic radiations.

Energy, wavelength and frequency of a photon are connected using the expression:

    E =  h f  = \frac{hc}{wavelength}  

E is the energy

h is the Planck's constant

 f is the frequency.

A visible light has a wavelength of 727.3 nm. Determine its frequency, energy per photon, and color.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

f=4.12\times 10^{14}\ Hz and E=2.73\times 10^{-19}\ J

Explanation:

The wavelength of a visible light is 727.3 nm.

727.3\ nm=727.3 \times 10^{-9}\ m

The formula is as follows :

c=f\lambda

f is the frequency of the visible light

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{727.3 \times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=4.12\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Energy of a photon is given by :

E = hf, h is Planck's constant

E=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 4.12\times 10^{14}\\\\E=2.73\times 10^{-19}\ J

Red color has a frequency of 4.12\times 10^{14}\ Hz and energy per photon is 2.73\times 10^{-19}\ J.

A spinning ice skater will speed up if he brings his arms close to his body. Which of the following statements explains this phe
xxMikexx [17]
A. Angular momentum is always conserved would be the correct answer.

This is because like linear momentum (mvmv), angular momentum (r×mvr×mv) is a conserved quantity, where rr is the vector from the center of rotation. For a skater holding a static pose, for each particle making up her body, the contribution in magnitude to the total angular momentum is given by mirivimirivi. Thus bringing in her arms reduces riri for those particles. In order to conserve angular momentum, there is then an increase in the angular velocity.

hope this helps!
