Answer: contain different amounts of energy

Explanation:

The energy $E$ of a photon is given by:

$E=h\nu$

Where:

$h=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}$ is the Planck constant

$\nu$ is the frequency of the light which is inversely related to the wavelength.

Now, if we have photons of different light waves, this means we have photons with different frequencies.

As the energy of the photon depends on its frequency:

Photons of different light waves <u>contain different amounts of energy.</u>

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

N₂ = 19 turns

Explanation:

A transform is a system with two different windings where the variation of the magnetic beam is the same, if there are no losses in the system we can use Faraday's law

V₁ = -N₁ $\frac{d \Phi_B }{dt}$

v₂ = - N₂ \frac{d \Phi_B }{dt}

$\frac{V_1}{N_1} = \frac{V_2}{N_2}$

in this case we look for the number of turns in the second winding

N₂2 = $N_1 \ \frac{ V_2}{V_1}$

calculate us

N₂ = 360 6.30/ 120

N₂ = 18.9 turn

The number of turns must be an integer

N₂ = 19 turns

A lion has a mass of 45 kg. Answer the following questions about it, using correct units. a. The lion runs at a speed of 14.2 m/

Eva8 [605]

A) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the mass of the object, and v its speed. For the lion in our problem, m=45 kg and v=14.2 m/s, so its kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(45 kg)(14.2 m/s)^2=4537 J$

b) the increase in gravitational potential energy of the lion is given by:
$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
where g is the gravitational acceleration, and $\Delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the lion. In this problem, $\Delta h=28 m$ , so the increase in gravitational potential energy is
$\Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(28 m)=12361 J$

c) When the fox reaches the top of the tree, its gravitational potential energy is
$U=mgh=(1.8 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.8 m)=67 J$
As it jumps, its kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(1.8 kg)(8.1 m/s)^2=59 J$
So the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps is
$E=U+K=67 J + 59 J =126 J$

The lightning bolt discharge lasts one millisecond. What is the average current flowing from the cloud to ground? Answer in unit

denpristay [2]

Answer:

25100A

Explanation:

t= 1ms = 0.001s

q = 25.1C

From the relationship between charge and current , the charge is equal to the product of current and time

q = i×t

Where q = charge

i = current

t = time

i = q/t = 25.1/0.001

i = 25100A.

State any ten reasons why students in Uganda need to study physics.(use examples of the possible technological advancements whic

Trava [24]

Answer:

The answer is "physics ".

Explanation:

Physics is the branch of science that addresses the properties of crystalline and its interaction with the fundamental elements of the universe. It covers subjects ranging in quantum mechanics with extremely little ones with quantum mechanics to the whole cosmos. You must be constant whether you like it or not, thus everyone must learn physics, irrespective of whether they're in Uganda, and plenty of other countries should have physics to dare study.
