Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering types

Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces without changing the composition of the minerals in the rock. This can be divided into four basic types – abrasion, pressure release, thermal expansion and contraction, and crystal growth.

Suppose a light source is emitting red light at a wavelength of 700 nm and another light source is emitting ultraviolet light at

klasskru [66]

Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

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

Energy of a photon is given by

$E=h\nu\\\Rightarrow E=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}$

Let $\lambda_1$ = 700 nm

$\lambda_2=350\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}$

For red light

$E_1=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}$

For UV light

$E_2=\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}$

Dividing the equations

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=2E_1$

Hence, the answer is b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Two identical cars, one on the moon and one on the earth, have the same speed and are rounding banked turns that have the same r

Naily [24]

Answer:

The value of the centripetal forces are same.

Explanation:

Given:

The masses of the cars are same. The radii of the banked paths are same. The weight of an object on the moon is about one sixth of its weight on earth.

The expression for centripetal force is given by,

$F_{c} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}$
