What is the momentum of a photon having the same total energy as an electron with a kinetic energy of 100 keV?

Physics

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

Explain why the driver's reaction time affects the thinking distance.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The thinking distance depends on the reaction time of the driver which could can affected by alcohol, distractions and tiredness. A faster speed increases both thinking  distance, increasing the total stopping distance.

While jumping on a trampoline you calculate that at the highest peak of your jump you have 900 joules of gravitational potential
BabaBlast [244]

Jumping on a trampoline is a classic example of conservation of energy, from potential into kinetic. It also shows Hooke's laws and the spring constant. Furthermore, it verifies and illustrates each of Newton's three laws of motion.

<u>Explanation</u>

When we jump on a trampoline, our body has kinetic energy that changes over time. Our kinetic energy is greatest, just before we hit the trampoline on the way down and when you leave the trampoline surface on the way up. Our kinetic energy is 0 when you reach the height of your jump and begin to descend and when are on the trampoline, about to propel upwards.

Potential energy changes along with kinetic energy. At any time, your total energy is equal to your potential energy plus your kinetic energy. As we go up, the kinetic energy converts into potential energy.

Hooke's law is another form of potential energy. Just as the trampoline is about to propel us up, your kinetic energy is 0 but your potential energy is maximized, even though we are at a minimum height. This is because our potential energy is related to the spring constant and Hooke's Law.

Your teacher (175kg) and the lab (15kg) are 2m apart. What is the gravitational force between them? Draw a FBD, and label
Pachacha [2.7K]
The gravitational force between two objects is given by
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2 }{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, m_1 = 175 kg, m_2 =15 kg and r=2 m, therefore the gravitational force between the two objects is
F=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}) \frac{(175 kg)(15 kg)}{(2m)^2}=4.38 \cdot10^{-8} N
