Answer:

Two things can happen to old satellites: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.

During a 0.001 s interval while it is between the plates, the change of the momentum of the electron Δp with arrow is < 0, -8

Delvig [45]

Answer:

5.5 x 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

t = 0.001 s

Δp = - 8.8 x 10^-17 kg m /s

Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

F = Δp / Δt

F = (8.8 x 10^-17) / 0.001 = 8.8 x 10^-14 N

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Electric field, E = F / q = (8.8 x 10^-14) / (1.6 x 10^-19)

E = 5.5 x 10^5 N/C

Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If

cluponka [151]

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?

serious [3.7K]

Answer : The wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = $4.29\times 10^{-19}J$

Formula used :

$E=h\times \nu$

As, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

So, $E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon = ?

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Conversion used : $1nm=10^{-9}m$

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$
