Describe one way in which light acts like a wave and one way in which light acts like a particle.

Physics
1 answer:
monitta2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Quantum mechanics tells us that light can behave simultaneously as a particle or a wave. ... When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. Albert Einstein explained this "photoelectric" effect by proposing that light – thought to only be a wave – is also a stream of particles.

Suppose the electrons and protons in 1g of hydrogen could be separated and placed on the earth and the moon, respectively. Compa
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The gravitational force is 3.509*10^17 times larger than the electrostatic force.

Explanation:

The Newton's law of universal gravitation and Coulombs law are:

F_{N}=G m_{1}m_{2}/r^{2}\\F_{C}=k q_{1}q_{2}/r^{2}

Where:

G= 6.674×10^−11 N · (m/kg)2

k =  8.987×10^9 N·m2/C2

We can obtain the ratio of these forces dividing them:

\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{kq_{1}q_{2}}=0.742\times10^{-20}\frac{C^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{q_{1}q_{2}}   --- (1)

The mass of the moon is 7.347 × 10^22 kilograms

The mass of the earth is  5.972 × 10^24 kg

And q1=q2=Na*e=(6.022*10^23)*(1.6*10^-19)C=9.635*10^4 C

Replacing these values in eq1:

\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}}}=0.742\times10^{-20}\frac{C^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{7.347\times5.972\times10^{46}kg^{2}}{(9.635\times10^{4})^{2}}

Therefore

\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}}}=3.509\times10^{17}

This means that the gravitational force is 3.509*10^17 times larger than the electrostatic force, when comparing the earth-moon gravitational field vs 1mol electrons - 1mol protons electrostatic field

Ahmed fills a basket with shopping weighing 10 kg. How much work is being done on the shopping basket when he lifts it verticall
NISA [10]

The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

<h3>When is work said to be done?</h3>

Work is said to be done whenever a force moves an object through a certain distance.

The amount of work done on the shopping basket can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = mgh

Where:

  • W = Amount of work done by the basket
  • m = mass of the shopping basket
  • h = height of the shopping basket
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

Form the question,

Given:

  • m = 10 kg
  • h = 1.5 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • W = 10(1.5)(9.8)
  • W = 147 J.

Hence, The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

Consider two points in an electric field. The potential at point 1, V1, is 33 V. The potential at point 2, V2, is 175 V. An elec
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Since the electric potential at point 1 is V₁ = 33 V and the electric potential at point 2 is V₂ = 175 V, when the electron is accelerated from point 1 to point 2, there is a change in electric potential ΔV which is given by ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

ΔV = 175 V - 33 V.

ΔV = 142 V

The change in electric potential energy ΔU = eΔV = e(V₂ - V₁) where e = electron charge = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and ΔV = electric potential change from point 1 to point 2 = 142 V.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 142 V

ΔU = -227.484 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

ΔU = -2.27484 × 10⁻²¹ J

ΔU ≅ -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

So, the required equation for the electric potential energy change is

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

When Woods hits a 0.04593 kg golf ball, the golf ball is usually traveling around 281 kilometers per hour. What average force do
Semenov [28]

Answer:

128.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on the golf ball is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the ball, so we can write:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

F is the force

\Delta p is the change in momentum

\Delta t=0.030 s is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m = 0.04593 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the ball

v=281 km/h =78.1 m/s is the final velocity of the ball

Substituting into the original equation, we find the force exerted on the golf ball:

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.04593)(78.1-0)}{0.030}=128.9 N
