A satellite of mass 5460 kg orbits the Earth and has a period of 6520 s

A photon of red light (wavelength = 710 nm) and a ping-pong ball (mass = 2. 40 × 10^-3 kg) have the same momentum. At what speed

Paha777 [63]

The speed of the ball moving is

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$

what is momentum?

The momentum p of a classical object of mass m and velocity v is given by pclassical =mv.

For photons with wavelength λ,this equation does not hold.Instead, the momentum of the Photon is given by p Photon = h/λ

where,h is the planck's constant.

The momentum of the red Photon is

given:

$h = 6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}^{2}/s(plancks \: constant)$

$λ = 700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m(photons \: wavelength)$

$p \: photons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {} ^{2}/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9}m }$

$= 9.47 \times 10 {}^{ - 28}kgm /s$

since,the Photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum,we have

$pball = pphotons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }$

$pball = mv,m = 2.40 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}kg$

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25} m/s$

Therefore, if the red photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum, the ping-pong ball must have a speed of approximately

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$
