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

A ball is thrown straight up from ground level. It passes a 2-m-high window. The bottom of the window is 7.5 m off the ground. T
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

u=14.48m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of window h=2m

Height of window off the ground h_g=7.5m

Time to fall and drop t=1.3s

 

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

2=u1.3-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*1.3^2

2=u1.3-8.281

u=7.91m/s^2  

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

2as=v^2-u^2

Where

-2gh_g=v^2-u^2

-2*9.8*7.5=(7.91)^2-u^2

-147=62.5681-u^2

u=\sqrt{209.5681}

u=14.48m/s

Therefore the  ball’s initial speed

u=14.48m/s

Answer:

Hello, how's your day going?

if humanity came together and made a base on the moon, it would be revolutionary. The point of a base on the moon would have multiple purposes. for example, some think that the moon contains valuable metals such as iron and titanium. a base would serve as a place for workers harvesting metals to rest. Obviously or not most of the iron harvesting would be done automatically by robots and such.

If such a base were constructed on the moon, it would be the begining of people living on other worlds and would be a great start for a base on Mars.

Hope it helped

Use the words claim, evidence, reasoning to answer the following question:
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Well first a person makes a claim that a certain idea might make a great show. They get a control group together to test this theory and gather evidence that shows that people are interested. then the claimer uses reasoning to persuade potential directors and producers.

hope this helps you out!!:)))
