If light photons are massless then why are they attracted by black holes?​

Physics
1 answer:
Marianna [84]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Photons have no mass, they do have energy, and the gravity of a black hole (or any other gravitating body) will attract them.

Explanation:

is that what you wanted?

An object appears red when viewed with white light. What color would it appear when viewed with blue light?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Colour of any object is by the colour of light it reflects i.e if white light is incident on the object,it will reflect blue color.so it will appear blue.But if red light is incident on it,it will not reflect that and absorb it.so as it will not reflect any light it will appear black.

How long does it take an airplane to fly 1200 miles if it maintains a speed of 300 miles per hour
sdas [7]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>4 hrs</h2>

Explanation:

To find the time taken we use the formula

t =  \frac{d}{v}  \\

where

d is the distance covered

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question

d = 1200 miles

v = 300 mi/hr

We have

t =  \frac{1200}{300}  =  \frac{12}{3}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4 hrs</h3>

Hope this helps you

Two ice skaters, Paula and Ricardo, initially at rest, push off from each other. Ricardo weighs more than Paula.
sveta [45]

Answer:

the two ice skater have the same momentum but the are in different directions.

Paula will have a greater speed than Ricardo after the push-off.

Explanation:

Given that:

Two ice skaters, Paula and Ricardo, initially at rest, push off from each other. Ricardo weighs more than Paula.

A. Which skater, if either, has the greater momentum after the push-off? Explain.

The law of conservation of can be applied here in order to determine the skater that possess a greater momentum after the push -off

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of two  or more objects acting upon one another will not change, provided there are no external forces acting on them.

So if two objects in motion collide, their total momentum before the collision will be the same as the total momentum after the collision.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

SO, from the information given:

Let represent the mass of Paula with m_{Pa} and its initial velocity with u_{Pa}

Let represent the mass of Ricardo with m_{Ri} and its initial velocity with u_{Ri}

At rest ;

their velocities will be zero, i.e

u_{Pa} = u_{Ri} = 0

The initial momentum for this process can be represented as :

m_{Pa}u_{Pa} +  m_{Ri}u_{Ri} = 0

after push off from each other then their final velocity will be v_{Pa} and v_{Ri}

The we can say their final momentum is:

m_{Pa}v_{Pa} +   m_{Ri}v_{Ri} = 0

Using the law of conservation of momentum as states earlier.

Initial momentum = final momentum = 0

m_{Pa}u_{Pa} +  m_{Ri}u_{Ri} =  m_{Pa}v_{Pa} +   m_{Ri}v_{Ri}

Since the initial velocities are stating at rest then ; u = 0

m_{Pa}(0) + m_{Pa}(0) = m_{Pa}v_{Pa} +   m_{Ri}v_{Ri}

m_{Pa}v_{Pa} +   m_{Ri}v_{Ri}  = 0

m_{Pa}v_{Pa} = - m_{Ri}v_{Ri}

Hence, we can conclude that the two ice skater have the same momentum but the are in different directions.

 B. Which skater, if either, has the greater speed after the push-off? Explain.

Given that Ricardo weighs more than Paula

So m_{Ri} > m_{Pa} ;

Then \mathsf{\dfrac{{m_{Ri}}}{m_{Pa} }= 1}

The magnitude of their momentum which is a product of mass and velocity can now be expressed as:

m_{Pa}v_{Pa} =  m_{Ri}v_{Ri}

The ratio is

\dfrac{v_{Pa}}{v_{Ri}} =\dfrac{m_{Ri}}{m_{Pa}} = 1

v_{Pa} >v_{Ri}

Therefore, Paula will have a greater speed than Ricardo after the push-off.

A buoy is anchored tho the oceanfloor. A large wave approaches the buoy. How will the buoy move as the wave goes by?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The buoy will move upwards and downwards and well as left and right

Explanation:

As the wind is storing so had the capability to move the buoy in all directions as it is a light object despite being anchored down
