Answer:

he wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon

Explanation:

The Compton effect is the scattering of a photon by an electron, this process is analyzed using the conservation of momentum, in which we assume that initially the electron is at rest and after the collision it recedes, therefore the energy of the incident photon decreases and consequently its wavelength changes

To complete the sentence we use the wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon

The masses of the Earth and Moon are 5.98×1024kg and 7.35×1022kg respectively, and their centers are separated by 3.84×108m.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

C) The Earth-Moon CM follows the orbit around the Sun. Earth and Moon rotate around their CM. The radius of rotation of Moon around the CM is much greater than radius of rotation of Earth around the CM.

Explanation:

At first we assume that both Earth and Moon can be treated as particles, the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is obtained by using this formula:

$r_{CM} = \frac{r_{E}\cdot m_{E}+r_{M}\cdot m_{M}}{m_{E}+m_{M}}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$r_{E}$ - Location of the center of the Earth, measured in kilometers.

$r_{M}$ - Location of the Moon, measured in kilometers.

$r_{CM}$ - Location of the center of mass, measured in kilometers.

$m_{E}$ - Mass of the Earth, measured in kilograms.

$m_{M}$ - Mass of the Moon, measured in kilograms.

If we know that $r_{E} = 0\,km$ , $r_{M} = 3.84\times 10^{8}\,m$ , $m_{E} = 5.98\times 10^{24}\,kg$ and $m_{M} = 7.35\times 10^{22}\,kg$ , the location of the center of mass respect to the Earth is:

$r_{CM} = \frac{(0\,km)\cdot (5.98\times 10^{22}\,kg)+(3.84\times 10^{8}\,m)\cdot (7.35\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{5.98\times 10^{24}\,kg+7.35\times 10^{22}\,kg}$

$r_{CM} = 4.662\times 10^{6}\,m$

The Earth has a radius of $6.371\times 10^{6}$ meters, we notice that center of mass in located inside the Earth and the radius of rotation of the Earth around the center of mass is much greater than the radius of rotation of the Moon around the center of mass. That center of mass follows an orbit around the sun.

In consequence, correct answer is C.

You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8,7 light-years distant star Sirius. Your spaceship can travel with 70%

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Time = 12.43 years

Mass = 4.71.43kg

Explanation:

Given the following :

Distance = 8.7 light years

Speed = 70% the speed of light

Diameter = 6m

Lengtg = 25m

Density = 1 hydrogen atom/m^3

Mass of proton(Me) = 1.673x 10^-27

A.) time it takes your spaceship to reach Sirius :

From the relation: Speed = (distance / time)

Time = distance / speed

Time = (70/100) × 1 light year

Distance = 8.7 light years

Time = 8.7 / 0.7 = 12.4285 years

Time = 12.43 years

B.) Mass of inter-stellar gas that collides with the spaceship can be calcuted by finding the product of the surface area of the cylindrical space ship and the mass of proton.

That is ;

surface area * mass of proton

Surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + πr^2×Me

= 2πrh + Me×πr^2)

=( 2 × 22/7 × 3 × 25) + (22/7 × 3^2 × 1.673 * 10^-27)

= 2× 235.714 + 28.285) × 1.673 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 47.31 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 4.73 × 10^-26

= 4.71.43kg approximately

What happens to speed when wavelength decreases

Phantasy [73]

Speed = wavelength × frequency

giving that frequency is 0, wavelength and speed are directionally proportional. wavelength decrease = speed decrease

If two variables have a non-related relationship and one of the variables is changed, how will the other variable change?

PolarNik [594]

If one of the variables is changed, that tells nothing about what happens to the other one, or IF anything happens, or when, or how long it lasts. Because they are UN-RELATED. You just said so yourself.

None of the choices says this.
