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

To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a _____ scale or _____ scale.
allsm [11]
To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.

A container contains 200g of water at initial temperature of 30°C. An iron nail of mass 200g at temperature of 50°C is immersed
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Assuming there is no heat loss to the surrounding.

Heat lost by iron equals heat gained by water.

0.2(450)(50-x)=0.2(4200)(x-30)

x=31.94 °C
