Answer:

m = 5 [mg]

Explanation:

We must remember that the definition of linear momemtum is defined as the product of mass by distance.

P = m*v

P = momentum = 40 [mg*m/s]

m = mass [mg]

v = velocity = 8 [m/s]

Now clearing m:

m = P/v

m = 40/8

m = 5 [mg]

Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

It is a 1-minute averaged measure of the hurricane's maximum winds. Westerlies are one of the breeze belts helping to shape and guide hurricanes. A tropical cyclone is a quickly spinning storm system with a low-pressure core, a closed small-level air vortex, gusty winds, and a thunder storm spiral structure that causes torrential rain or squalls.

Calculate the wavelength of a photon having 3.26 x 10^-19 joules of energy

bekas [8.4K]

The energy of a photon is given by:
$E=hf$
where h is the Planck constant and f is the photon frequency.
We know the energy of the photon, $E=3.26 \cdot 10^{-19} J$ , so we can rearrange the equation to calculate the frequency of the photon:
$f= \frac{E}{h}= \frac{3.26 \cdot 10^{-19}J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js}=4.94 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

And now we can use the following relationship between frequency f, wavelength $\lambda$ and speed of light c to find the wavelength of the photon:
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.94 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=6.07\cdot 10^{-7} m=607 nm$

-What can you say about the snowboarder’s kinetic energy as he moves?

Damm [24]

Answer:

His kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases

The sum of kinetic and potential energy is a constant at any instant before he comes to rest.

Explanation:

Snowboarder is starting from a height and moving to the down direction. As he moves down his velocity increases, we know that kinetic energy is given by the expression $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ , so as he moves his kinetic energy increases.

When the snowboarder is starting his potential energy is maximum(Potential energy = mgh), as he comes down his potential energy decreases.

Based on this we can conclude that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is a constant at any instant for a snowboarder before he comes to rest.

mgh+ $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ = Constant

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib

Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.
