An ant can have more momentum than an elephant when the elephant is standing still.

Answer: A

Explanation

The momentum is the quantification of the movement done by an object.

It is found to be dependent on the mass of the object and the velocity with which it is moving.

In the present case, the ant has negligible mass compared to elephant so the momentum can be more for ant only when the velocity with which the elephant is moving tends to be zero.

As the velocity of elephant will be zero, the momentum of elephant will be zero so in this criteria, the moving ant will be having more momentum compared to elephant with zero velocity.

So an elephant with zero velocity means the elephant is standing still.

Thus, the condition in which the ant will be having more momentum compared to elephant is when the elephant stands still.

An ant will have more or higher momentum than elephant only if elephant stands still.

Explanation:

The term momentum is called as product of mass m  of an object and its velocity  \overrightarrow v for which it moves and the momentum can be denoted by vector quantity \overrightarrow p .

The object whose product of mass and the velocity are higher; its momentum will be more.

If elephant stands still, means its velocity is equal to zero, then product of its mass and velocity will be zero. Hence, it will have zero momentum.

Since, the mass of ant is insignificantly small but have velocity for moving. So, the ant have small momentum but somewhat greater than zero.

Therefore, the ant will have higher momentum than elephant only if elephant stands still.

If an ant will stand still it have zero velocity, so the momentum will be equal to zero. Hence, this option is also incorrect.

The option “The elephant has much high mass” is incorrect because having high mass but zero velocity will result in no momentum.

Thus, an ant will have higher momentum than elephant only if elephant is standing still.

Liula [17]

Answer:

Yes it will move and a= 4.19m/s^2

Explanation:

In order for the box to move it needs to overcome the maximum static friction force

Max Static Friction = μFn(normal force)

plug in givens

Max Static friction = 31.9226

Since 36.6>31.9226, the box will move

Mass= Wieght/g which is 45.8/9.8= 4.67kg

Fnet = Fapp-Fk

= 36.6-16.9918

=19.6082

=ma

Solve for a=4.19m/s^2

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.400mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed
kogti [31]

Answer:

a)y_{first}=5.3mm

b)y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm  

Explanation:

a)

The width of the central bright in this diffraction pattern is given by:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a} when m is a natural number.

here:

  • m is 1 (to find the central bright fringe)                
  • D is the distance from the slit to the screen
  • a is the slit wide
  • λ is the wavelength

So we have:

y_{first}=\frac{633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{first}=5.3mm

b)

Now, if we do m=2 we can find the distance to the second minima.

y_{2}=\frac{2*633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{2}=10.6 mm

Now we need to subtract these distance, to get the width of the first bright fringe :

y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm    

I hope it heps you!
