Answer:

Explanation:

A 40kg child throw stone of 0.5kg

At a direction of 5m/s

Recoil can be calculated using recoil of a gun formula

m_1•v_1 + m_2•v_2

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

The negative sign show that the momentum of the boy is directed oppositely to that of the stone

m_1 Is mass of boy

v_1 is the recoil velocity of the boy

m_2 is mass of stone

v_2 is the velocity of stone

Then,

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

40•v_1 = -0.5 × 5

40•v_1 = -2.5

v_1 = -2.5 / 40

v_1 = -0.0625 m/s

The recoil velocity of the boy is 0.0625 m/s

In Einstein’s analysis, a photon striking the surface of a conductor is absorbed by an electron. Which statement describes the s
puteri [66]

Answer:

the correct answer is A

Explanation:

In an Einstein-type analysis, the photon is absorbed, it loses all its energy, therefore the electron must receive all or none of the energy of the incident photon. In a type of inelastic shock.

Let's analyze the different answers

A) true. In photon it is completely absorbed or passes without interaction

B) False. The photon must change energy, but in this case there is no absorption of the photon

C) False. In the insistent analyzes, the quantization of the electron in discrete states is not mentioned.

Therefore the correct answer is A

alexdok [17]

Answer: The spinning of Earth's outer core causes the lithosphere to break into individual plates and collide with each other.

Earth's surface forms because of this reason:

A square plate of edge length 9.0 cm and negligible thickness has a total charge of 6.90 10-6 C. Estimate the magnitude E of the
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

E= 4.35*10^6 N/C

Explanation:

Let's find the area charge density of the plate

α= 6.9*10^-6/9*10^-2 = 7.7*10^-5C/m2

Now we can calculate the electric field just of the plate

E =α/2e =7.7*10^-5/2*8.85*10^-12 = 4.35*10^6 N/C

There is a 50 g sample of Ra-229. It has a half-life of 4 minutes.
Sloan [31]

Via half-life equation we have:


A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }


Where the initial amount is 50 grams, half-life is 4 minutes, and time elapsed is 12 minutes.  By plugging those values in we get:

A_{final}=50(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{4}=50(\frac{1}{2})^{3}=50(\frac{1}{8})=6.25g


There is 6.25 grams left of Ra-229 after 12 minutes.
