Time  =        (distance) / (speed)

Time  =  (150 x 10⁹ m) / (3 x 10⁸ m/s) =

                           50 x 10¹ sec  = 

                                 <em>500 sec</em>  =  8 min 20 sec

You throw a basketball and a tennis ball across the classroom so that each ball has the exact same momentum. Explain how this is
Helga [31]

Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

The light waves have that particular interference from question #1 because they are emitted _____.
Elis [28]
I am attaching the rest of your question so it makes sense, 
<span>
Since lasers are made from stacking light waves that add together into a larger wave due to CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE.
</span>
Then, <span>light waves have that constructive interference (from question #1) because they are emitted IN PHASE with each other.

This means that they arrive at the same point of space with the same characteristics and their effects do not cancel each other, but the opposite, their intensity increases.</span>
