The momentum p of a moving particle is the product between its mass, m, and tis velocity, v:
p=mv
In our problem, we know p=10^{-16}~Kg \cdot m/s and v=0.87c=0.87\cdot 3\cdot10^8~m/s=2.61\cdot 10^8~m/s, and using the relationship mentioned above, we can find the mass m of the particle:
m= \frac{p}{v} =3.8\cdot10^{-25}~Kg

Answer:

First uncaused cause

Explanation:

Aristotle states that an infinite regression in the principle of causality is not possible. If the regression were infinite, then there would never be a first cause (mover), since this would need another mover to start its motion. Therefore, according to Aristotle, there must be an unmoved mover that moves other things, but is not itself moved by any prior action,

What color of light must blue light mix with to create white light?
schepotkina [342]
<h2>Answer: a. Yellow </h2>

According to the additive theory of color, when we join the <u>three primary colors of light</u> (Red + Green + Blue) we get White light.

On the other hand we have <u>secondary colors of ligh</u>t that are:

Yellow = Red + Green

Magenta = Blue + Red

Cyan = Blue + Green

Now, if we know that:

Red + Green + Blue = White

And:

Red + Green = Yellow

Then:

<h2>Yellow + Blue = White</h2>

valentina_108 [34]
Let t = Theta and p = Phi
Tan t = y/x    Then x =y/Tant.
Tant = y/(x-d)  x-d = y/Tanp
y/Tant  - d = y/Tanp
y -d*Tanr = y*Tant/Tanp
y-y*Tant/Tanp  =  d*Tanr
y(1 - Tanr/Tanp = d*Tant

y = d*Tant/(1-Tant/Tanp)
