Answer: Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by luminous objects that travel in straight paths.

Explanation:

We can define "radiation" as the transmision of energy trough waves or particles.

Particularly, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, so the "tiny particles" of light are discharged by a radiating object, particularly we can be more explicit and call it a luminous object, in this way we are being specific about the nature of the radiation of the object.

A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 5100 MJ with respect to Eart

serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,

$E_{initial} = E_{final}$

$PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} = PE_{final}+KE_{final}$

Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that

$KE_{final} = (PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} )-PE_{final}$

$KE_{final} = (5100+4200)-5700$

$KE_{final} = 3600MJ$

Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ

8. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott

nasty-shy [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the <u>bottle.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

where,

$m_1,u_1\text{ and }v_1$ are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.

$m_2,u_2\text{ and }v_2$ are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.

We are given:

$m_1=0.4kg\\u_1=18m/s\\v_1=?m/s\\m_2=0.2kg\\u_2=0m/s\\v_2=25m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$(0.4\times 18)+(0.2\times 0)=(0.4\times v_1)+(0.2\times 25)\\\\v_1=5.5m/s$

Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.
