The photons of different light waves:

Physics
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago
8 0

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>

A slice of bread contains about 100 kcal. If specific heat of a person were 1.00 kcal/kg·°C, by how many °C would the temperatur
almond37 [142]

Answer:

(c) 1.43°C

Explanation:

If the energy in the bread are converted to heat.

Then, The heat transferred from the bread to person = 100 kcal.

From specific heat capacity,

Q = cmΔT............................ equation 1

Where Q = quantity of heat, m = mass of the person, c = specific heat capacity of the person, Δ = increase in temperature.

Making ΔT the subject the equation 1,

ΔT = Q/cm........................ equation 2

Where Q = 100 kcal, c= 1.00 kcal/kg.°C, m = 70.0 kg

Substituting these values into equation 2,

ΔT = 100/(1×70)

ΔT = 100/70

ΔT = 1.428

ΔT ≈ 1.43°C

The increase in temperature of the body is = 1.43°C

The right option is (c) 1.43°C

What's photosynthesis?​
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities.

a 3 kg piece of putty that is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s collides and sticks to an 8 kg bowling ball that was at rest. wha
defon

The final velocity is 2.7 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Therefore we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v  

where:  

m_1 = 3 kg is the mass of the putty

u_1 = 10 m/s is the initial velocity of the putty (we take its direction as positive direction)

m_2 = 8 kg is the mass of the ball

u_2 = 0 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball (at rest)

v is the final combined velocity of the two putty+ball

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the  final combined velocity:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(3)(10)+0}{3+8}=2.7 m/s

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the putty.
