Answer:

Energy is found as:

E = 1.987·10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Energy of a single photon of infrared light can be found by using the following formula:

E=hf

where

E = in Joules

h = Planck's constant = 6.627×10 ⁻³⁴ J

f = frequency in hertz

It can also be written as:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

c = 2.998×10⁸ ms⁻¹

λ = wavelength

Wavelength is given in the question which is:

λ = 1×10⁻⁶m

Substitute all the values in the Energy formula

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\E = \frac{(6.627\cdot10^{-34})(2.998\cdot10^8)}{1\cdot10^{-6}}\\E = 1.987\cdot10^{-19}J

____ [38]

Answer:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

Explanation:

We set a frame of reference with origin at the hand of the girl the moment she releases the ball. We assume her hand will be in the same position when she catches it again. The positive X axis point upwards.The ball will be subject to a constant gravitational acceleration of -9.81 m/s^2.

We use the equation for position under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2

X0 = 0 because it is at the origin of the coordinate system.

We know that at t = 2, the position will be zero.

X(2) = 0 = V0 * 2 + 1/2 * -9.81 * 2^2

0 = 2 * V0 - 4.9 * 4

2 * V0 = 19.6

V0 = 9.8 m/s

Then the position of the ball as a function of time is:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

"A bridge, constructed of 11 beams of equal length L and negligible mass, supports an object of mass M.
fiasKO [112]
F_P  + F_Q = M g
F_P = M g - F_Q
Torque, or moment of force:
∑ M_P = 0
∑ M_P = M g L - F_Q · 3 L
0 = M g L - 3 F_Q L         / : L
0 = M g - 3 F_Q
3 F_Q = M g
F_Q = M g /3
Finally:
F_P = M g - M g/3
F_P = 4 M g / 3

Naddik [55]

Heat can travel as<em> radiation</em>, even if there are no particles of matter
along the way.  Which is really lucky, because that's how we get
heat from the sun.  And light too.

A charge alters the space around it. What is this alteration of space called?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: electric field

Explanation: when a charge is placed in space, it alters the space around it by creating an electric field.

This electric field has the ability to exert a force (f) on any test charge(q) placed within this vicinity.

This is the reason why a charge can either attract or repel another charge.

The mass of a truck with its cargo is 1800 kg. The truck is coasting to the right with a speed of 10 m/s. As it coasts its cargo
OverLord2011 [107]

Here we apply conservation of linear momentum. The momentum of the truck with cargo and without cargo remains constant. That is,

mv=m'v'.

Here m,v are initial mass and velocity. m',v' are final mass and velocity. Here m=1800,v=10 and m'=1800-300=1500.

The velocity of the truck be after its cargo is taken off is

v'=\frac{mv}{m'} \\  v'=\frac{1800*10}{1500} \\  v'=12 m/s
