Photon is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that light has dual nature of wave as well as particles. Light waves can behave in wave nature as well as in particle nature depending upon the situation. So the light waves are assumed in different views to easily understand the nature of light waves.

There are several models proposed to simplify the nature of light. Among the several assumptions, one of the most prominent observations are that light waves or quantum of light are termed as photons which are made up of single packet/particles of light in a given wavelength.

The 88-lb force P is applied to the 210-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and d

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$F=-88Ib$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force P=88Ib

Mass of crate M_c=210Ib

Generally the equation for Frictional force F is mathematically given by

$Friction\ force (f) = friction\ coefficient\ (u) * Normal\ reaction (N)$

$F=u*N$

with $\mu =0.47$

$F=98.7Ib$

Therefore since Static Friction supersedes applied force body remains at rest.

Frictional force =88Ib (negative)

$F=-88Ib$

Nuclear power generates alot of power, ALOT. It requires Uranium and other radioactive substances to power it, which over time can degrade and become depleted. This radioactive waste would have to be placed somewhere, and it accumulates over time slowly.

Suppose that a comet that was seen in 563 A.D. by Chinese astronomers was spotted again in year 1951. Assume the time between ob

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

$a=2.77*10^{13}m$

$R_a=5.49*10^{13}m$

Explanation:

The period of the comet is the time it takes to do a complete orbit:

T=1951-(-563)=2514 years

writen in seconds:

$2514years*\frac{3,154*10^7s}{1year}=7.93 *10^{10}s$

Since the eccentricity is greater than 0 but lower than 1 you can know that the trajectory is an ellipse.

Therefore, if the mass of the sun is aprox. 1.99e30 kg, and you assume it to be much larger than the mass of the comet, you can use Kepler's law of periods to calculate the semimajor axis:

$T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{Gm_{sun}}a^3\\ a=\sqrt[3]{\frac{Gm_{sun}T^2}{4\pi^2} } \\a=1.50*10^{6}m$
