Answer:

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is 3 kilogram-meters per second.

Explanation:

Under the assumption that no external forces are exerted on both the small object and the big object, whose situation is described by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

p_{S,1}+p_{B,1} = p_{S,2}+p_{B,2} (1)

Where:

p_{S,1}, p_{S,2} - Initial and final momemtums of the small object, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

p_{B,1}, p_{B,2} - Initial and final momentums of the big object, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

If we know that p_{S,1} = 7\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}, p_{B,1} = 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} and p_{S, 2} = 4\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}, then the final momentum of the big object is:

7\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} + 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 4\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}+p_{B,2}

p_{B,2} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is:

p_{B,2}-p_{B,1} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}-0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

p_{B,2}-p_{B,1} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is 3 kilogram-meters per second.

If a certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.33 x 10^14Hz what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light. Is this as
geniusboy [140]
In calculating the energy of a photon of light, we need the relationship for energy and the frequency which is expressed as:
 
E=hv

where h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10-34 J s)and v is the frequency.
E = 6.626 x 10-34 J s (<span>7.33 x 10^14 /s) = 4.857 x 10^-19 J</span>

If Star A and Star B have the same absolute magnitude, but Star A is brighter, what does that tell us?
Hatshy [7]
We can conclude that star A is closer to us than star B.

In fact, the absolute magnitude gives a measure of the brightness of the star, if all the stars are placed at the same distance from Earth. So, it's a measure of the absolute luminosity of the star, indipendently from its distance from us: since the two stars have same absolute magnitude, it means that if they were at same distance from Earth, they would appear with same luminosity. Instead, we see star A brighter than star B, and the only explanation is that star A is closer to Earth than star B (the closer the star A, the brigther it is)
