Answer:

The speed is 21.06 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

mass of glow worm = 5.0 g

Wavelength = 650 nm

Power = 0.10 W

Time = 10 years

The total energy emitted in a period \tau is P\tau

The energy of single photon of frequency or wavelength is

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

The total number of photons emitted in a interval \tau is then the total energy divided by the energy per photon.

N=\dfrac{P\tau}{E}

N=\dfrac{P\tau\times\lambda}{hc}

N=\dfrac{P\tau\times\lambda}{hc}

We need to calculate the speed

Using de Broglie's relation applies to each photon and thus the total momentum imparted to the glow-worm

p=\dfrac{Nh}{\lambda}

p=\dfrac{\dfrac{P\tau\times\lambda}{hc}\times h}{\lambda}

p=\dfrac{P\tau}{c}

v=\dfrac{P\tau}{mc}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{0.10\times3.16\times10^{8}}{5.0\times10^{-3}\times3\times10^{8}}

v=21.06\ m/s

Hence, The speed is 21.06 m/s.

Answer:

  a = Np/10 yrs×[3.50^7 yrs /sec]

Explanation:

The energy of the single photon of frequency f or wave length λ  is given as

   E = hc / λ

since the glow warm emits energy 0.1 J/sec

that is  the number of photons n emitted by the photon per sec will be

n = 0.1 W / E

Thus, the number of photons emitted in 10 years

 N = n×3.15×10^7 sec/yr ×10 yr

Now, momentum associated with each photon

p= h / λ

and, momentum associated with N photon particles

P= N(h/λ)    

hence the change in the momentum of the glow is = Np in 10 years

Therefore, acceleration of the glow

                a = Np/10 yrs×[3.50^7 yrs /sec]

xeze [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

I suppose it has to do with the way the diagram is drawn. The heat does not reflect which makes both A and B incorrect.

C would have nothing to do with either reflection or refraction.

That only leaves D which is the answer.

Kay [80]

Answer:

The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.  Columns (groups) and rows (periods) indicate elements that share similar characteristics. The table makes trends in element properties apparent and easy to understand. The table provides important information used to balance chemical equations. Atoms are important because they form the basic building blocks of all visible matter in the universe. There are 92 types of atoms that exist in nature, and other types of atoms can be made in the lab. The different types of atoms are called elements. Hydrogen, gold and iron are examples of elements comprised of unique types of a single kind of atom.
