This chapter discusses that light sometimes acts like a photon. What is a photon?

Physics
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

c. a self-contained "packet" of electro-magnetic energy

Explanation:

Photon is a quantum of energy packet of electromagnetic radiation, it contains all the properties of electromagnetic radiation being the fundamental component of electromagnetic energy.  

It behaves like a wave when it propagates in a medium but transfers energy like a particle when collides with some other matter.

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 4.5 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.2 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to
jok3333 [9.3K]

a.) K 2=K 1 +GmM( r 21− r 11)=2.2×10 7J

b.) ​K 2 +GmM( r 11− r 21)=6.9×10 7 J

Applying Law of  Energy conservation :

K 1+U 1

=K 2+U 2

⇒K 1− r 1GmM

=K 2− r 2 GmM

where M=5.0×10 23kg,r1

=> R=3.0×10 6m and m=10kg

(a) If K 1​

=5.0×10 7J and r 2

=4.0×10 6 m, then the above equation leads to

K 2=K 1 +GmM (r 21− r 11)=2.2×10 7J

(b) In this case, we require K 2

=0 and r2

=8.0×10 6m, and solve for K 1:K 1

​=K 2 +GmM (r 11− r 21)=6.9×10 7 J

A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an _______
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an electron.

Explanation:

In an atom, nuclei contain protons and neutrons, which are the fundamental particles of an atom. Neutrons are stable and uncharged particles inside a nucleus.

For 15 times during its lifetime, a free neutron decays and breaks down into more smaller particles.This breakdown causes problems in nuclear reactors, as they start decaying and emit radiations of different wavelengths.

A neutron undergoes the decaying process to produce an electron, a proton, and energy.

The reaction of neutron decay:

  n0 → p+ + e− + νe

A 0.02kg dart is loaded into a toy spring gun by compressing the spring 6cm. If the spring has a constant of 20 N/m, find… a. Th
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m

Explanation:

Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm

Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J

b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J

c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036

mv^2 = 0.036*2

v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6

v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s

e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h

Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward

0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h

0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h

h = 0.18 m

Imagine you are mpho:how can you help your friend (phenyo) not to be influenced by media? you really feel she needs some help be
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

One of the ways to help someone not to be influenced by media is:

  • Encourage independent thinking.
  • Let her know that she should make sure the information she is consuming is free from bias and is factual.

<h3>What is Media Influence?</h3>

This refers to the effects and reactions which the mass media has on the people who listen to them by shaping their views and by controlling the narrative.

With this in mind, we can note that if a person is overtly influenced by the media, then such a person lacks independent thinking and becomes emotional by what he watches on the television or reads from an online source.

This can be changed through the encouragement of independent thinking, and the need to check for factual information from the media news and also to focus more on studies.

A box weighing 43.2 N is pulled horizontally until it slides uniformly lat a constant
GREYUIT [131]

Your diagram should include four forces:

• the box's weight, pointing down (magnitude <em>w</em> = 43.2 N)

• the normal force, pointing up (mag. <em>n</em>)

• the applied force, pointing the direction in which the box is sliding (mag. <em>p</em> = 6.30 N, with <em>p</em> for "pull")

• the frictional force, pointing oppoiste the applied force (mag. <em>f</em> )

The box is moving at a constant speed, so it is inequilibrium and the net forces in both the vertical and horizontal directions sum to 0. By Newton's second law, we have

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

and

<em>p</em> + (-<em>f</em> ) = 0

So then the forces have magnitudes

<em>w</em> = 43.2 N

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = 43.2 N

<em>p</em> = 6.30 N

<em>f</em> = <em>p</em> = 6.30 N
