Great question. Albert Einstein proved that light acts as both a particle and a wave in his 1905 paper. This is called wave-particle duality.
With quantum mechanics, it is easy to prove that light behaves as both a particle and a wave.
When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. This "photoelectric effect" proves how light behaves.
Answer:
ΔP = (640 N/cm^2)
Explanation:
Given:-
- The volume increase, ΔV/V0 = 4 ✕ 10^-3
- The Bulk Modulus, B = 1.6*10^9 N/m^2
Find:-
Calculate the force exerted by the moonshine per square centimeter
Solution:-
- The bulk modulus B of a material is dependent on change in pressure or Force per unit area and change in volume by the following relationship.
B = ΔP / [(ΔV/V)]
- Now rearrange the above relation and solve for ΔP or force per unit area.
ΔP = B* [(ΔV/V)]
- Plug in the values:
ΔP = (1.6*10^9)*(4 ✕ 10^-3)
ΔP = 6400000 N/m^2
- For unit conversion from N/m^2 to N/cm^2 we have:
ΔP = (6400000 N/m^2) cm^2 / (100)^2 m^2
ΔP = (640 N/cm^2)
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)
KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)
KE = 16,000 Joules
Answer:
c
Explanation:
just trying to follow basic grammar.
The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Distance = (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)
We want to see how the time will be affected
if ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Multiply each side by 2 : 2 D = g t²
Divide each side by ' g ' : 2 D/g = t²
Square root each side: t = √ (2D/g)
Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:
-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .
-- They don't change by the same factor, because 1/g is inside
the square root. So 't' changes the same amount as √1/g does.
Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6 the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.
So we expect ' t ' to increase by √6 = 2.45 times.
It would take the same bottle (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.
