Answer:

p = mv

Explanation:

The momentum of a body is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. Its physical symbol is 'p'.
The formula for momentum is given by

p = mv

Where,

m - the mass of the body in kg

v - velocity of the body in m/s

Therefore, the unit of momentum is expressed as the kg m/s
The momentum of a body is always associated with its motion. It is a vector quantity and it is directed in the direction of the velocity vector.
If a body is at rest, the momentum associated with the body is zero.
The momentum plays a significant role in the kinematics of the body. As similar to the energy conservation law, the total momentum of the body is conserved.

An electron is confined in a harmonic oscillator potential well. What is the longest wavelength of light that the electron can a

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 74 N/m

Mass of electron $m= 9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg$

Speed of light $c= 3\times10^{8}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f =\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

Where, k= spring constant

m = mass of the particle

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{74}{9.11\times10^{-31}}}$

$f=1.434\times10^{15}\ Hz$

We need to calculate the longest wavelength that the electron can absorb

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}$

Where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda =\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.434\times10^{15}}$

$\lambda=2.092\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=209\ nm$

Hence, The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

If a spring is stretched 4m from its starting length when 20n of force is applied, then how much work (in joules) is done by the

lys-0071 [83]

ANSWER:

250 J

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F = 20N is required to stretch the spring by 4 meters

We know that the force is equal to:

$F=k\cdot x$

We solve for k (spring constant):

$k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{20}{4}=5\text{ N/m}$

The work done in stretching the spring is given by the following equation (in this case the stretch is 10 meters:

$\begin{gathered} W=\frac{1}{2}k\cdot x^2 \\ \text{ Replacing} \\ W=\frac{1}{2}\cdot5\cdot10^2 \\ W=250\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

The work required is 250 joules.

You are driving at 75 km/h. Your sister follows in the car behind at 75 km/h. When you honk your horn, your sister hears a frequ

OLga [1]

The ideal concept for solving this question is based on the Doppler effect, for which it is indicated that the source's listening frequency changes as the distance and the relative speed between the receiver and the transmitter are also changed. However, if the relative velocity between the two objects is zero as in the particular case presented (since both travel at 75km / h) we have that there will be no change in frequency.

Therefore the frequency that I hear and that my sister would listen would be the same.
