Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass of object and a is the acceleration.

Since there is no friction, substituting 20 Kg for m and 2 m/s squared for a then we obtain

F=20*2=40 N

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where $h$ corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), $c$ is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J$

Tranform the units

$1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV$

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

$\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118$

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.

If 2 objects had the same momentum, what must be true about the mass of the object that traveled the fastest?

julsineya [31]

Yes, the above-given statement is true

<u>Explanation:</u>

The product of the mass x the velocity will be the same for both. Momentum is the action of a body with a particular mass through space and there is the conservation of momentum.
Momentum is described as the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity.
<u>Momentum (p) = Mass (M) * Velocity (v)</u>
Therefore for two objects with many masses to have a similar momentum, then the lighter one has to be moving quicker than the heavier object.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

D. the proper replacement unit for one joule per second

Explanation:

When energy is divided by the time the energy was used we get power

$P=\dfrac{E}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{mv^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{kg(\dfrac{m^2}{s^2})}{s}\\\Rightarrow P=kg(\dfrac{m^2}{s^2})}\times \dfrac{1}{s}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{kgm^2}{s^3}$

$kg\dfrac{m^2}{s^2}=Joule$

$P=\dfrac{kgm^2}{s^3}$

So, the answer is D. the proper replacement unit for one joule per second
