Answer:

A. How much matter an object has, plus the magnitude and direction of its motion

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass by velocity, in the international system of measurements (SI) momentum has the following Units [kg*m/s].

P = m*v

where:

P = momentum Lineal [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

Therefore the answer is A) How much matter an object has, plus the magnitude and direction of its motion

A makes an angel of 30.0 above the positive x-axis, and B makes an angel of 45.0 below the negative x-axis. A=3.00 units and B=2

I think this is vectors. Sketch the two vectors A and B on the x axis and then find their magnitudes using cosine... i would like to know if i am correct.

What is the threshold velocity vthreshold(water) (i.e., the minimum velocity) for creating Cherenkov light from a charged partic

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

$v_w = 2.256 *10^{8} \ m/s$

$v_e = 2.21 *10^{8} \ m/s$

The correct option is B

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The refractive index of water is $n_w = 1.33$

The refractive index of ethanol is $n_e = 1.36$

Generally the threshold velocity for creating Cherenkov light from a charged particle as it travels through water is mathematically evaluated as

$v_w = \frac{c}{n_w }$

Where c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

$v_w = \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{1.33 }$

$v_w = 2.256 *10^{8} \ m/s$

Generally the threshold velocity for creating Cherenkov light from a charged particle as it travels through water is mathematically evaluated as

$v_e = \frac{ c}{n_e }$

=> $v_e = \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{1.36 }$

=> $v_e = 2.21 *10^{8} \ m/s$
