Physics
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

Photons with the highest energy have the ____
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

D. shortest wavelength

Explanation:

Photons with the highest energy have the shortest wavelength. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of a photon.

A photon is a quantity that transmits electromagnetic energy from one place to the other.

  • Gamma rays have photons that transmits the highest amount of energy.
  • The rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of all electromagnetic radiations.

Energy, wavelength and frequency of a photon are connected using the expression:

    E =  h f  = \frac{hc}{wavelength}  

E is the energy

h is the Planck's constant

 f is the frequency.

If you wish to warm 100 kg of water by 20°C for your bath, how much heat is required? (Give your answer in calories and joules.)
taurus [48]
Q = mcθ

Where m = mass of water in kg.
c = specific heat capacity in kJ/kg⁰C, c for water = 4200 kJ/kg⁰C
θ = temperature rise in ⁰C

Q = 100*4200* 20    Note here the temperature rise is 20 ⁰C
Q = 8 400 000 J

In calories,  4.2 J = 1 Calorie
=  8 400 000 / 4.2   = 200 000

Q = 200 000 Calories

On the asteroid Cere, the acceleration due to gravity is about 0.27 m/s^2. How long would it take a ball to fall to the ground i
KiRa [710]

Answer:

F. 25.82 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 90 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 0.27 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

90 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.27 m/s²) t²

t = 25.82 s

You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital spee
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s
