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

1 answer:

Zolol [24]3 years ago

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.

A 0.250 kg block on a vertical spring with spring constant of 4.45 ✕ 103 N/m is pushed downward, compressing the spring 0.080 m.

Elza [17]

Answer:h=5.81 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of block(m)=0.250 kg

Spring Constant $k=4.45\times 10^3 N/m$

Initial elongation =0.080 m=8 cm

Thus Initial Potential Energy stored =Final Potential Energy stored in Block

$P_i=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$P_i=\frac{4.45\times 10^3\times 64\times 10^{-4}}{2}=14.24 J$

$P_f=mgh=0.25\times 9.8\times h$

$P_i=P_f$

$14.24 =0.25\times 9.8\times h$

$h=\frac{14.24}{0.25\times 9.8}=5.81 m$

A football kick returner catches the ball just as a player from the opposing team dives to tackle him. At the time of impact, th

The total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

The given parameters:

<em>Initial momentum of the returner, </em> $P_i_1$ <em> = 0 kgm/s</em>
<em>The initial momentum of the diving player, </em> $P_i_2$ <em> = 130 kgm/s</em>

The total momentum of the players after collision is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

$P_f = P_i_1 + P_i_2\\\\P_f = 0 + 130\\\\P_f = 130 \ kgm/s$

Thus, the total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

Consider two ideal gases, A & B, at the same temperature. The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that of gas B. Ho

uysha [10]

Answer:

option (d)

Explanation:

The relation between the rms velocity and the molecular mass is given by

v proportional to \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} keeping the temperature constant

So for two gases

$\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

$\frac{2v_{B}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

${\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}} = 4$

${\frac{M_{B}}{4}} = M_{A}$
