Answer:

The helicopter was deformed and destroyed in the inelastic collision.

Explanation:

When two object collide there exist two way of colliding: elastic collision and inelastic collision.
Two terms are considered during the collision: kinetic energy and momentum.
If both of these terms are conserved in any collision then there is no significant loss of property, this is called as elastic collision.

If only momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is converted into other forms then it is inelastic collision. In inelastic collision, the energy is lost in the form of vibration, sound etc. causing the damage to colliding object.

Hence the deformation of helicopter was due to inelastic collision.

In what setting do all frequencies of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed?

Irina-Kira [14]

All electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum (space) at the speed of light (3 * 10^8 m/s). Radio waves is just a member of the electromagnetic spectrum. All electromagnetic waves follow the wave equation: speed = frequency * wavelength. With all electromagnetic waves, the speed in space is the same.

What speed must an electron have if its momentum is to be the same as that of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 0.30?

lorasvet [3.4K]

The momentum of the x-ray photon is p = h/lambda . Lambda is the wavelength (0.30nm=3x10^(-9)m) and h is Planck's constant,(h=6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s).The momentum is: 2.2 x 10^(-25).

The momentum can be calculated also as: p=mv, where m is the mass of the electron and v is the speed.

So v=p/m,p is known,and also the mass of the electron (m=9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms).

v=2.2 x 10^(-25)/9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms=0.24 x 10^6 m/s

The equation for the photoelectric effect is:

$E=\phi + K$

where

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ is the energy of the incident light, with h being the Planck constant, c being the speed of light, and $\lambda$ being the wavelength
