1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

Speedy sunlit sails. Sail-propelled spacecraft could be used to monitor Earth or hover close to the sun to study solar storms and flares, scientists say. They also could be used to adjust the orbits of satellites circling the Earth. ... Potentially, solar sails can move spacecraft much faster than a rocket engine could.

Which describes the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?

Andrew [12]

Photon energy is directly proportional to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
(That would also mean that it's inversely proportional to the wavelength.)

So the photon energy increases as you scan the chart of visible colors
moving from the red end of the rainbow to the blue end.

If a t-shirt gun can fire t-shirts with an initial speed of 15 m/s, what is the maximum distance (along horizontal, flat ground)

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

h = 11.47 m

Explanation:

Initial speed pf the t-shirt gun is 15 m/s

We need to find the maximum distance covered by the t-shirt. It is based on the conservation of energy. The maximum distance covered is given by :

$h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(15)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=11.47\ m$
