Answer:

129900

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the particle, m = 1 g = 1*10^-3 kg

Speed of the particle, u = ½c

Speed of light, c = 3*10^8

To solve this, we will use the formula

p = ymu, where

y = √[1 - (u²/c²)]

Let's solve for y, first. We have

y = √[1 - (1.5*10^8²/3*10^8²)]

y = √(1 - ½²)

y = √(1 - ¼)

y = √0.75

y = 0.8660, using our newly gotten y, we use it to solve the final equation

p = ymu

p = 0.866 * 1*10^-3 * 1.5*10^8

p = 129900 kgm/s

thus, we have found that the momentum of the particle is 129900 kgm/s

Find the net force and acceleration. 10 points. Will give brainliest.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

a) 16 N

b) 2.13 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the tv stand. There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing up,

Friction force Nμ pushing left,

and applied force P pulling right.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

The net force in the x direction is:

∑F = P − Nμ

∑F = P − mgμ

∑F = 25 N − (7.5 kg) (10 m/s²) (0.12)

∑F = 16 N

Net force equals mass times acceleration:

∑F = ma

16 N = (7.5 kg) a

a = 2.13 m/s²

Light waves have some similarities with water and sound waves, but they are not exactly the same. Describe all the differences y

makkiz [27]

Answer:

<h2>All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2></h2>

Nevertheless, they have some differences:

1. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound and water waves are mechanical waves, this is the first and principal difference.

2. Electromagnetic waves can propagate in vacuum (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate

3. Light waves are always transversal waves, this means the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation; but mechanical waves may be both: longitudinal waves (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.

4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a constant velocity (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the density of the medium or material.

5. Mechanical waves are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while electromagnetic waves are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field

6. Water waves are 2-dimensional waves, while the light and the sound are tridimensional spherical waves

7. Light waves transports energy in the form of radiation, while mechanical waves transport energy with material

A 20-Kg child is on a swing attached to 3.0 m-long chains. The child swings back and forth, swinging out to a 60-degree angle. (

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

v = 29.4 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Lowest starting point.

Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. Higher

$Em_{f}$ = U = m g h

Let's use trigonometry to lock her up

cos 60 = y / L

y = L cos 60

Height is the initial length minus the length at the maximum angle

h = L - L cos 60

h = L (1- cos 60)

energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_{f}

½ m v² = mgL (1 - cos 60)

v = 2g L (1- cos 60)

let's calculate

v² = 2 9.8 3.0 (1- cos 60)

v = 29.4 m / s

Before you conduct your experiment, you need to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in

Example: A apple rotting.

If I put my apple in a fridge, then it would not rot as fast because it is in a cooled area. (example)
