Answer:
The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.
Explanation:
The position of the ball at time "t" is described by the position vector "r":
r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)
Where:
x0 = initial horizontal position.
v0x = initial horizontal velocity.
t = time.
y0 = initial vertical position.
v0y = initial vertical velocity.
g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).
When the ball reaches the catcher, the position vector will be "r final" (see attached figure).
The x-component of the vector "r final", "rx final", will be 17.0 m. We have to find the y-component.
Using the equation of the x-component of the position vector, we can calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the catcher (notice that the frame of reference is located at the throwing point so that x0 and y0 = 0):
x = x0 + v0x · t
17.0 m = 0 m + 40.1 m/s · t
t = 17.0 m/ 40. 1 m/s = 0.424 s
With this time, we can calculate the y-component of the vector "r final", the drop of the ball:
y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²
Initially, there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.
y = 1/2 · g · t²
y = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (0.424 s)²
y = -0.881 m
The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.
Answer:
3 photons
Explanation:
The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:
Where corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js),
is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and
is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).
Tranform the units
The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:
Rounding to the next integrer: 3.
Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.
