Answer:

p_r=\frac{h}{\lambda}

Explanation:

To find the momentum of the recoiling particle you can use the momentum formula for a photon:

p=\frac{h}{\lambda}

before the decay the momentum is zero. Hence, after the decay the momentum of the photon plus the momentum of the recoiling particle must be zero:

p_a=p_b\\\\\frac{h}{\lambda}-\frac{m}{2}v=0\\\\p_r=\frac{m}{2}v=\frac{h}{\lambda}

where pr is the momentum of the recoiling particle.

A hammer is used to hit a nail into a board. Which statement is correct about the forces at play between the nail and the hammer
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Hewo My Lovelys!!

Answer is down below!!

Explanation:

The answer is C) The nail exerts an equal force on the hammer in the opposite direction.

Reason: The Newtons third law states that there is an equal an opposite reaction for every action. When hammer pushes the nail, the nail will push the hammer back in opposite direction. When the hammer hits a nail then nail will exert the equal and opposite force to the hammer. These both objects will exert force on each other in opposite directions.

Hope this helps!! =3

Have a great day, evening, of night!! <3

Mariana [72]

Answer:

0m/s²

Explanation:

A body with a constant speed always has a zero acceleration

Hence if Korey ran around the track at 10 meters per second and had a constant speed and did not change directions, then his acceleration will be 0m/s² not considering his initial speed
