Using the formula:
a = (Vf - Vi) / t
Our initial velocity is 0 m/s, and our final velocity is 8.15 m/s, with a time period of 5 seconds:
a = (8.15 - 0.0) / 5
a = 1.63 m/s^2
If you know the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, you can confirm this answer. The recorded gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.62 m/s^2.
B. They are rearranged.
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that matter and energy can not be created or destroyed.
A pendulum is not a wave.
-- A pendulum doesn't have a 'wavelength'.
-- There's no way to define how many of its "waves" pass a point
every second.
-- Whatever you say is the speed of the pendulum, that speed
can only be true at one or two points in the pendulum's swing,
and it's different everywhere else in the swing.
-- The frequency of a pendulum depends only on the length
of the string from which it hangs.
If you take the given information and try to apply wave motion to it:
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) ,
you would end up with
Frequency = (30 meter/sec) / (0.35 meter) = 85.7 Hz
Have you ever seen anything that could be described as
a pendulum, swinging or even wiggling back and forth
85 times every second ? ! ? That's pretty absurd.
This math is not applicable to the pendulum.
Answer:
3 photons
Explanation:
The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:
Where 
corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), 
is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and 
is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).
Tranform the units
The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:
Rounding to the next integrer: 3.
Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.
