Sir Isaac Newton, held the theory that light was made up of tiny particles<span>. In 1678, Dutch physicist, Christiaan Huygens, believed that light was made up of </span>waves<span>vibrating up and down </span>perpendicular<span> to the direction of the light travels, and therefore formulated a way of visualising wave propagation.</span>

Answer:

PARTICLE

Explanation:

As per the theory proposed by the Newton for the propagation of light he assumed that light is made up of PARTICLEs

He said that light is made up of small rigid particles which behaves elastically. When light shows reflection then this is an example of 100% elastic collision where these particles will strike the surface and rebound with same speed at same angle with the normal

So this theory explains the propagation of light in particle form and hence this theory was known as particle theory of light

So as per Newton's explanation light is made up of PARTICLES

A force of 25N acts on a mass of 5.0kg, initially at rest. Calculate the distance travelled before achieving a velocity of 20m/s
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

40m

Explanation:

let's calculate the acceleration first

force = mass × acceleration

rearranging to find acceleration:

acceleration = force ÷ mass

force = 25N, mass = 5.0kg

acceleration = 25 ÷ 5 = 5ms^-2

we can now use the formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration and s = distance

rearranging v^2 = u^2 + 2as the distance is

s = (v^2 - u^2) ÷ 2a

v = 20, u = 0, a = 5

s = (20^2 - 0^2) ÷ (2 × 5) = 40m

the distance is 40m
