Answer:

i) 3.514 s, ii) 5.692 m/s

Explanation:

i) We can use Newton's second law of motion to find out how long does it take for the Eagle to touch down.

as the equation says for free-falling

h = ut +0.5gt^2

Here, h = 10 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 1.62 m/s^2( on moon surface)

initial velocity u = 0

10 = 0.5×1.62t^2

t = 3.514 seconds

Therefore, it takes t = 3.514 seconds for the Eagle to touch down.

ii) use Newton's 1st equation of motion to calculate the velocity of the lunar module when it hits the surface of the moon

v = u + gt

v = 0+ 1.62×3.514

v= 5.692 m/s

A 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the
zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

                       The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

                                       Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2

                                                             =\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2

                                                               =\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J

                                                               =25*10^6\ J    

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where h corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), c is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and \lambda is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J

Tranform the units

1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.
