Discuss how a photon (aka the light particle) can be affected by gravity despite being massless.

Physics

Over [174]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Light is clearly affected by gravity, just think about a black hole, but light supposedly has no mass and gravity only affects objects with mass. On the other hand, if light does have mass then doesn't mass become infinitely larger the closer to the speed of light an object travels.

A car traveling at a constant speed of 30 m/s passes a highway patrol police car which is at rest. The police officer accelerate
quester [9]

Answer:

a) 20 seconds

b) 600 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

a) Speeder acceleration is 0 as the speed is constant

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=30\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=30t\ m

Police car

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=1.5t^2\ m

The distance they travel will be equal

30t=1.5t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{30}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ seconds

Time required by the police car to catch the speeder is 20 seconds

b) The distance traveled by the police car will be 1.5×20² = 600 m
