Physics

Lilit [14]3 years ago

If photon is near an atomic nucleus, the energy of a photon can be converted into an electron and a positron. The photon's energy is converted into a particle's mass through the Einstein's Equation. In particle physics, there is a phenomenon called pair production where energy is in fact transformed into matter.

A golf ball stays on the tee until the golf club hits it. Which of the following principles best describes why this occurs? Grou
givi [52]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object continues to stay in its state of rest, or of uniform motion, until acted upon by an external force.

So in the case of the golf ball here, the ball stays in its state of rest, on the tee, until the golf club hits it, i.e. , applies an external force on it.

Hence we can say that Newton's First Law of Motion is the principle which is most suitable for explaining this phenomenon.

A 360-nm thick oil film floats on the surface of a pool of water. the indices of refraction of the oil and the water are 1.5 and
jenyasd209 [6]
The correct answer is 432, and 720.
The thickness of a film is t= 360nm
the refractive index of oil n₀t = (m +1/2) λ
For m =0
λ = 4n₀t
= 4(1.50)(360)
= 2160nm
for m = 1
λ = 4n₀t
= 4(1.50)(360)/3
= 720nm
m = 2
λ = 4n₀t/5 = 4(1.50)(360)/5
= 432nm
The wavelength which are most strongly reflected are
432nm, 720nm.

If your chunk of gold weighed 1 N in which case would you have the largest mass of gold?
kotykmax [81]
Ah ha !  Very interesting question.
Thought-provoking, even.

You have something that weighs 1 Newton, and you want to know 
the situation in which the object would have the greatest mass.

          Weight = (mass) x (local gravity)

          Mass  =  (weight) / (local gravity)

          Mass  =  (1 Newton) / (local gravity)

"Local gravity" is the denominator of the fraction, so the fraction
has its greatest value when 'local gravity' is smallest.  This is the
clue that gives it away.

If somebody offers you 1 chunk of gold that weighs 1 Newton,
you say to him:

   "Fine !  Great !  Golly gee, that's sure generous of you.  
But before you start weighing the chunk to give me, I want you
to take your gold and your scale to Pluto, and weigh my chunk
there.   And if you don't mind, be quick about it."

The local acceleration of gravity on Pluto is  0.62 m/s² ,
but on Earth, it's 9.81 m/s.

So if he weighs 1 Newton of gold for you on Pluto, its mass will be
1.613 kilograms, and it'll weigh 15.82 Newtons here on Earth. 

That's almost 3.6 pounds of gold, worth over $57,000 !


It would be even better if you could convince him to weigh it on
Halley's Comet, or on any asteroid.  Wherever he's willing to go
that has the smallest gravity.  That's the place where the largest
mass weighs 1 Newton.
