Answer:

3.75 MeV

Explanation:

The energy of the photon can be given in terms of frequency as:

E = h * f

Where h = Planck's constant

The frequency of the photon is 6 * 10^20 Hz.

The energy (in Joules) is:

E = 6.63 x10^(-34) * 6 * 10^(20)

E = 39.78 * 10^(-14) J = 3.978 * 10^(-13) J

We are given that:

1 eV = 1.06 * 10^(-19) Joules

This means that 1 Joule will be:

1 J = 1 / (1.06 * 10^(-19)

1 J = 9.434 * 10^(18) eV

=> 3.978 * 10^(-13) J = 3.978 * 10^(-13) * 9.434 * 10^(18) = 3.75 * 10^(6) eV

This is the same as 3.75 MeV.

The correct answer is not in the options, but the closest to it is option C.

Physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of MeV/c, where c is the sp

maxonik [38]

Answer:

kg m/s

Explanation:

e = Charge = C

V = Voltage = $\dfrac{N}{C}m$

c = Speed of light = m/s

Momentum is given by

$\dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{e\times V}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{C\times \dfrac{N}{C}\times m}{m/s}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=Ns\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\times \dfrac{m}{s}\times s\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\cdot m/s$

The unit of MeV/c in SI fundamental units is kg m/s

Fill in the table below with the properties of acids and bases.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1) Acids have a sour taste , Bases have a bitter taste.

2) Acids turn blue litmus paper into red , Bases turn red litmus paper into blue.

3) Acids react with most metals to form Hydrogen gas but only a few base react with a few metals to form Hydrogen gas

4) Both will conduct electricity. Both acids & bases are good electrolytes. Strong acids & bases conduct more electricity than that of weak acids & bases

Earth's core is the source of the energy that drives the movement of tectonic

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

B. Convection

D. Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction and convection are the two most prominent processes that helps transfer energy outward to the earth's crust.

Energy within the core is a function of the radioactive decay and frictional heating.
Also, heat that accreted during the formation of the earth is a significant source of internal energy.
The heat is conducted away by the process of convection. This is possible due to temperature differences between different parts of the earth
Conduction is made made possible due to the metallic bodies in the core and other part of the inner earth.

Two tugboats are moving a barge. Tugboat A pushes on the barge with a force of 3000n. Tugboat B pulls with a force of 5000 Newto

kenny6666 [7]

The net force on the barge is 8000 N

Explanation:

In order to find the net force on the badge, we have to use the rules of vector addition, since force is a vector quantity.

In this problem, we have two forces:

The force of tugboat A, $F_A = 3000 N$ , acting in a certain direction
The force of tugboat B, $F_B = 5000 N$ , also acting in the same direction

Since the two forces act in the same direction, this means that we can simply add their magnitudes to find the net combined force on the barge. Therefore, we get

$F=F_A+F_B = 3000 + 5000 = 8000 N$

and the direction is the same as the direction of the two forces.

The magnitude of the tidal force between the International Space Station (ISS) and a nearby astronaut on a spacewalk is approxim

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

F = 4.47 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

The expression they give for the strength of the tide is

F = 2 G m M a / r³

Where G has a value of 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N m² / kg² and M which is the mass of the Earth is worth 5.98 10²⁴ kg

They ask us to perform the calculation

F = 2 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 135 5.98 10²⁴ 13 / (6.79 10⁶)³

F = 4.47 10⁻⁶ N

This force is directed in the single line at the astronaut's mass centers and the space station
