As light from a star spreads out and weakens, do gaps form between the photons?​

Physics
1 answer:
Zolol [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come  to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.

Use Hooke's Law to determine the work done by the variable force in the spring problem. A force of 350 newtons stretches a sprin
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

350 N force stretches the spring by 30 cm

spring constant K = 350 / 0.30 = (350 / 0.3) N / m

To calculate work done by a spring force we proceed as follows

spring force when the spring is stretched by x = Kx

This force is variable so work done by it can be calculated by integration

Work done by it in stretching from x₁ to x₂

W = ∫ F dx

= ∫ Kx dx with limit from x₁ to x ₂

= 1/2 K ( x₂² - x₁² )

Putting the given values of x₁ = 0.50 m , x₂ = 0.8 m

Work done

= 1/2 x (350 / 0.3)x ( 0.80² - 0.50² )

= 227.50 J

A brick sits on the top of a hill with a gravitational potential energy of 245 J. To determine the gravitational potential of th
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The mass of the object, its acceleration due to gravity and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level.

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravitational force by virtue of its position.

In order to determine the gravitational potential energy of the brick, we must know the mass (m) of the brick, its acceleration due to gravity (g) since it is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level. (The height).

Potential energy of a body is calculated as mass × acceleration due to gravity × height.
