Answer:

The momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of electron, K.E = 100 keV = 100,000 eV = 100,000  x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Kinetic energy is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is speed of the electron

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\mv^2 = 2K.E \\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}} \\\\but \ momentum ,P = mv\\\\(v)m = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}})m\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m_e}})m_e\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-14}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}})(9.11\times 10^{-31})\\\\P_{photon} = 1.707 \times 10^{-22} \ kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

The magnetic field at the earth's surface can vary in response to solar activity. During one intense solar storm, the vertical c
Flauer [41]

Answer:

EMF = 33880 Volts

Explanation:

As per Faraday's law of Electromagnetic induction we know that

Rate of change in magnetic flux will induce EMF in the closed conducting loop

so we have

\phi = B.A

now we have

A = (110 \times 10^3)(110 \times 10^3)

A = 1.21 \times 10^{10}

now we have

\phi = B(1.21 \times 10^{10})

now the induced EMF through this loop is given as

EMF = (\frac{dB}{dt})(1.21 \times 10^{10})

EMF = (2.8 \times 10^{-6})(1.21 \times 10^{10})

EMF = 33880 Volts

a crane does 9,500 J of work to lift a crate straight up using a force of 125 N. how high does the crane lift the crate?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

<em>The crane lifts the crate up to 76 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Work Done by a Force</u>

The work done by a force of magnitude F that displaces an object by a distance y is given by

W=F.y

We know a crane does a work of 9,500 Joule to lift a crate and is using a force of 125 Nw.

The above equation can be solved to know the value of y in terms of the work and the force:

\displaystyle y=\frac{W}{F}

Plugging in the given values

\displaystyle y=\frac{9,500}{125}

y=76\ m

The crane lifts the crate up to 76 m high

What is the density of a substance that has a mass of 453g and a volume of 224mL?
Mrrafil [7]
Density is mass per unit volume. In this case, the unit is g/ml
Mass=453g                              ρ=453g/224ml
Volume=224ml                         ρ=2.022g/ml(rounded to nearest hundredth)
Density=?
ρ=mass/volume
Therefore the density of the substance is 2.022g/ml
