An object is dropped from rest from the top of a 400 m cliff on Earth. If air resistance is negligible, what is the distance the
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

176.58 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 6^2\\\Rightarrow s=176.58\ m

The object travels 176.58 m from the cliff in 6 seconds.

A trained eye in the dark for an extended period of time may pick up a light stimulus from a light source, at the lowest radiate
frez [133]

Answer:

    #_photons = 30 photons / s

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the energy of a photon of light, let's use the Planck relation

         E = h f

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

         c = λ f

we substitute

         E = h c /λ

         E₀ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/500 10⁻⁹

         E₀ = 3.978 10⁻¹⁹ J

now let's use a direct proportion rule. If the energy of a photon is Eo, how many fornes has an energy E = 1.2 10⁻¹⁷ J in a second

          #_photons = 1 photon   (E / Eo)

          #_photons = 1  1.2 10⁻¹⁷ /3.978 10⁻¹⁹

          #_photons = 3.0 10¹

          #_photons = 30 photons / s
