Answer:

<em> B.0</em>

Explanation:

Change in momentum: This is defined as the product of mass and change in velocity of a body. or it can be defined as the product of force and time of a body. The fundamental unit of change in momentum is kg.m/s

Change in momentum = M(V-U)......................... Equation 1

where M = mass of the ball, V = final velocity of the ball, U = initial velocity of the ball.

Let: M = m kg and V = U = v m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1

Change in momentum = m(v-v)

Change in momentum = m(0)

Change in momentum = 0 kg.m/s

<em>Therefore the momentum of the ball has not changed.</em>

<em>The right option is B.0</em>

A worker is thinking about two ways to get a box up 1.2 m onto a loading dock. He can use a force of 250 N to lift it straight u
harina [27]

Answer:

<em>The second option has a lower power output. P=30 W</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Power </u>

It is a physical magnitude that measures the rate a work W is done over time t.

\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}

Since W=F.d

\displaystyle P=\frac{F.d}{t}

The first option means the worker will lift the box by a distance of 1.2 meters in 3 seconds by applying 250 N of force. That produces a power of

\displaystyle P=\frac{(250). (1.2)}{3}=100\ Watt

The second option requires the worker applies 75 N of force and travel a distance of 4 meters for 10 seconds, thus the power is

\displaystyle P=\frac{(75). (4)}{10}=30\ Watt

The second option has a lower power output

You're using a monochromatic beam of light with wavelength 500 nm in an interferometer. What is the miminum distance you would n
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Minimum distance needed to move one of the mirrors = 125 nm

Explanation:

Constructive interference occurs when the maxima (trough or crest) of two waves that are in phase add together so that the amplitude of the resulting wave is equal to the sum of the individual amplitudes.

Destructive interference occurs when the maxima (trough or crest) of two waves that are out of phase by 180⁰ or half a wavelength combine to produce a smaller amplitude than the individual amplitudes that combine. It can even produce a wave of zero amplitude.

Since the spot of constructive interference has been changed to destructive interference, Path difference = Wavelength/2

Path difference = 500nm/2 = 250 nm

Path difference = 250 * 10⁻⁹ m

Since there are two interferometer's mirrors and only one is moved, the minimum distance will be a half of the path difference.

That is, minimum distance = (path difference)/2

Minimum distance = (250 * 10⁻⁹)/2

Minimum distance = 125 * 10⁻⁹ m

Minimum distance = 125 nm
