Answer:

1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem, we have a microwave photon with wavelength

\lambda=12.2 cm=0.122 m

Substituting into the equation, we find its energy:

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.122 m}=1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

Answer:

A. The brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in a system but it is transformed from one form to another.

As the airplane slows down, the kinetic energy which is presented in the motion of the plane is gradually converted to potential energy.

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

Find the horizontal component and the vertical component ​
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

v=3.66,h-3.66

Explanation:

vertical = 10sin60 - 10sin 30

horizontal =10cos60 + 10cos 30

v = 10×0.8660-10×0.5

h = 10×0.5 + 10 × 0.8660

v=8.660-5.0 = 3.66

h= 5.0-8.660 = -3.66
