Answer:

The acceleration of the sled is $4.6\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of sled is 0 because it was at rest.

It is placed at an angle of 28° on a frictionless hill.

We need to find the acceleration of the sled. It is placed at an incline. It means that the acceleration of the sled is given by :

$a=g\sin\theta\\\\a=9.8\times \sin(28)\\\\a=4.6\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the sled is $4.6\ m/s^2$ .

How did foucaults pendulum and coriolis effect are used to demonstrate earths tilt?

HACTEHA [7]

They do not demonstrate Earth's tilt. In fact, they're not "used" to demonstrate anything. It works the other way:. When you observe the Coriolis effect and the behavior of the Foucault pendulum, and you try to explain why the behave the way they do, one possible simple explanation for both of them is the Earth's ROTATION. Then, when you also observe the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and you also notice how the NUMBERS all go together, the case for the rotating, spherical Earth gets stronger and stronger.

Would water molecules in Venus’ atmosphere, whose temperature is 740 K, escape into outer space? A water molecule has a mass tha

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus.

Explanation:

The average speed of gas molecules is given by:

$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

R is the gas constant, T is the temperature and M the molar mass of the gas.

We know that a water molecule has a mass that is 18 times that of a hydrogen atom:

$M_H=1.01*10^{-3}\frac{kg}{mol}\\M_{H2O}=18M_H=0.02\frac{kg}{mol}$

So, we have:

$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3(8.314\frac{J}{mol \cdot K})740K}{0.02\frac{kg}{mol}}}\\v_{rms}=960.65\frac{m}{s}*\frac{1km}{1000m}=0.96\frac{km}{s}$

The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus:

$10\frac{km}{s}*\frac{1}{6}=1.6\frac{km}{s}\\0.96\frac{km}{s}$

What is the momentum of a photon having the same total energy as an electron with a kinetic energy of 100 keV?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of electron, K.E = 100 keV = 100,000 eV = 100,000 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Kinetic energy is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is speed of the electron

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\mv^2 = 2K.E \\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}} \\\\but \ momentum ,P = mv\\\\(v)m = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}})m\\\\P_{photon} = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m_e}})m_e\\\\P_{photon} = (\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-14}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}})(9.11\times 10^{-31})\\\\P_{photon} = 1.707 \times 10^{-22} \ kg.m/s$

Therefore, the momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s
