By doing this he increases the time due to which the rate of change momnetemdecreases. that means the ball comes to rest gently and does not hurt the fielder. but, if does not move his hand backwards, then the ball would come to rest in a fraction of second with a high rate of change of momentum. the ball will exert a lot of force on the hands of the fielder which will hurt him.

A skier starts from rest at the top of a hill that is inclined 10.5° with respect to the horizontal. The hillside is 200 m long,
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

d) 289.31 m

Explanation:

Energy provided by potential energy = mgh = m x 9.8x 200 sin10.5 = 357.18m

Energy used by friction = μmgcos 10.5 x 200 = .075 x m x 9.8 x cos 10.5 x200 = 144.54 m .

Energy used by friction on plain surface = μmg x d.( dis distance covered on plain ) =.075x m x 9.8 xd = .735 m d

To equate

357.18 m -144.54 m = .735 m d

d = 289.31 m .

What is the energy in joules of a mole of photons associated with visible light of wavelength 486 nm?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2.46\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

The enegy of a single photon is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck costant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem,

\lambda=486 nm=4.86\cdot 10^{-7}m

so the energy of one photon is

E_1=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4.86\cdot 10^{-7}m}=4.09\cdot 10^{-19} J

1 mole of photons contains a number of Avogadro of photons:

N_A = 6.022\cdot 10^{23}

therefore, the total energy of 1 mole of these photons will be

E=N_A E_1 = (6.022\cdot 10^{23})(4.09\cdot 10^{-19} J)=2.46\cdot 10^5 J
