The momentum of the bus is $3.93\cdot 10^5 kg m/s$

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the bus in this problem, we have

$m=13,500,000 g = 13,500 kg$ is its mass

$v=65 mph \cdot \frac{1609 m/mi}{3600 s/h}=29.1 m/s$ is the velocity, converted into SI units

Substituting into the equation, we find the momentum of the bus:

$p=(13,500)(29.1)=3.93\cdot 10^5 kg m/s$

Consider the following three statements: (i) For any electro-magnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency

Scilla [17]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$c=frequency\times Wavelength$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Thus, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is constant and equal to $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Option A is correct.

Given, Frequency = $1\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

Thus, Wavelength is:

$Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}$

$Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^{18}}\ m$

$Wavelength=3\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Also, 1 m = $3\times 10^{-10}$ Å

So,

Wavelength = 3.0 Å

Option B is correct.

As stated above, the speed of electromagnetic radiation is constant. Hence, each radiation of the spectrum travels with same speed.

Option C is incorrect.

3. Hahn determined that barium (atomic number 56) was one of the elements created when a uranium atom (atomic number 92) split .

creativ13 [48]

According to a periodic table, Krypton was created during the fission of Uranium.

<h3>What is the atomic number?</h3>

Atomic number is a characteristic associated with an element and indicates its number of protons, when a fision occurs, the total number protons is conserved.

Thus, the fission of uranium is led by two elements with atomic numbers 56 and 36. According to a periodic table, those atomic numbers are associated to elements Barium (Ba) and Krypton (Kr), respectively.

According to a periodic table, Krypton was created during the fission of Uranium. $\blacksquare$

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured, once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors
