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

Physics
1 answer:
monitta3 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.

A force of 10N acts on a car for 3 seconds. The impulse imparted on the car is
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

30N*s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 10N

Time = 3 seconds

To find the impulse;

Impulse = force * time

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Impulse = 10 * 3

Impulse = 30Ns

The original width was 94.71 cm 
<span>The area decreased 33.1% </span>

<span>The equation for the final size is </span>
<span>2X^2 = 1.2 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 - 0.6 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 = 10000 * .6 cm </span>
<span>X = 77.46 cm (this is the width) </span>

<span>The length is 2 * 77.46 = 154.92 cm </span>

<span>The original length was 154.92 + 34.5 = 189.42 cm </span>
<span>The original width was 189.42 / 2 = 94.71 cm </span>

<span>The original area was 94.71 * 189.92 = 17939.9 cm^2 </span>
<span>The new area is 79.46 * 154.92 = 12000.1 cm^2 </span>

<span>The difference between the original and current area is 17939.9 - 12000.1 = 5939.86 cm^2 </span>

<span>The percentage the area decreased is 5939.86 ' 17939.9 = 33.1%</span>

A 77.0−kg short-track ice skater is racing at a speed of 12.6 m/s when he falls down and slides across the ice into a padded wal
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-6112.26  J

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy, KE_i is given by

KE_i=0.5mv_1^{2} where m is the mass of a body and v_i is the initial velocity

The final kinetic energy, KE_f is given by

KE_f=0.5mv_f^{2} where v_f is the final velocity

Change in kinetic energy, \triangle KE is given by

\triangle KE=KE_f-KE_i=0.5mv_f^{2}-0.5mv_1^{2}=0.5m(v_f^{2}-v_i^{2})

Since the skater finally comes to rest, the final velocity is zero. Substituting 0 for v_f and 12.6 m/s for v_i and 77 Kg for m we obtain

\triangle KE=0.5*77*0^{2}-0.5*77*(0^{2}-12.6^{2})=-6112.26 J

From work energy theorem, work done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy hence for this case work done equals <u>-6112.26  J</u>
