Light is not matter. A photon is not matter because it has no mass. So rephrase your question...

A student pushes on a crate with a force of 100 Newtons directed to the right.
romanna [79]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Therefore 100N of force is exerted by the crate on student as a reaction to his action

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 19 m lower vert
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.                

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 39000 kg

Height of the car, h = 19 m

Spring constant of the spring, k=4.2\times 10^5\ N/m

We need to find the compression in the spring in stopping the ore car. It can be done by balancing loss in gravitational potential energy and the increase in elastic energy. So,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x is the compression in spring

x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}} \\\\x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000\times 19\times 9.8}{4.2\times 10^5}} \\\\x=5.88\ m

So, the compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.

A system consists of three particles with these masses and velocities: mass 3.00 kg, moving north at 3.00 m/s; mass 4.00 kg, mov
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

Explanation:

given,

mass(m₁) 3.00 kg, moving north at v₁ = 3.00 m/s

mass(m₂) 4.00 kg, moving south at v₂ =  3.70 m/s

mass(m₃) 7.00 kg, moving north at v₃ = 2.00 m/s

north as the positive axis

south as the negative axis

now

total momentum = m₁v₁ + m₂ v₂ + m₃ v₃

total momentum = 3 x 3 - 4 x 3.7 + 7 x 2

                           = 9 - 14.8 + 14

                           = 8 .2 kg m/s

hence, the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

A student hears a police siren. What would change the frequency that the student hears? Check all that apply.
ser-zykov [4K]
<span>A student hears a police siren.

The arithmetic of the Doppler Effect shows that if the distance between
the source and observer is changing, then the observer hears a different
frequency compared to the frequency actually radiating from the source. 

Thus the first four choices would cause the student to hear a different
frequency:

-- if the student walked toward the police car
-- if the student walked away from the police car
-- if the police car moved toward the student
-- if the police car moved away from the student

The last two choices wouldn't affect the frequency heard by the student,
since the perceived frequency of a sound doesn't depend on its intensity.

-- if the intensity of the siren increased
-- if the intensity of the siren decreased.</span>
