Is light a particle or a wave? Is metal a good heat shield? Is the reason that nothing can go faster than light because we have

not tried hard enough? Is there any difference between antimatter, dark matter, dark energy, and degenerate matter?​

Answer:

Light can act as a wave or a particle. This is called light wave-particle duality, simply that the light has both the characteristics of fluctuations, but also has the characteristics of particles. Light can propagate forward like a wave, and sometimes show the characteristics of particles.

Metal is not heat resistant and therefore it is not a good heat shield. For example pots are made out of metal because they are good conductors of heat.

Light is said to be the fastest, it is because we have not discovered anything faster than light. If someone discover's something faster than light then that will become the fastest. It is not that we have tried hard enough, it is just that our technology, research and veiw of outer space is limited. Implementing good research and technology requires a lot of money, time and expertise. We have much better things to do than to discover something faster then light because even if it's discovered what can we do with it, with our severe lacking research and technology, it's practically useless and good as updating some newspaper articles. When even light can give us a headache.

Dark matter, antimatter, dark energy and degenerate matter can be said to be different. I'm not sure about the intricasies but all have different energy frequencies and effects. Not sure but please do research about it.

Hope this helps you.

Imagine a ball is moving on the following horizontal line.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Take right as positive. O is the starting point of the ball. Denote the ball by o.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . ... . . o . . . . . .

Assume the ball is moving to the right. It has positive displacement since it is on the right of O, and positive velocity since its positive displacement is increasing.

.ñ

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . o . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Now the ball is returning to O. It still has positive displacement since its current position is still on the right of O. However, its velocity is negative since its positive displacement is decreasing and the direction of the velocity vector points left, which is the negative side.

By now you should be able to come up with a scenario where the ball has negative displacement and positive velocity.

You can observe the same phenomenon in daily life. Say, as a stretched spring bounces to its starting position, if we let the returning direction be positive, the string has negative displacement since it is on the negative direction, but has positive velocity. Bungee jump can also used to illustrate the phenomenon.

The kinetic energy of an object is increased by a factor of 4 . By what factor is the magnitude of its momentum changed: 2.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>
  • A particle or an item that is in motion has a sort of energy called kinetic energy. An item accumulates kinetic energy when work, which involves the transfer of energy, is done on it by exerting a net force.
  • Kinetic energy comes in five forms: radiant, thermal, acoustic, electrical, and mechanical.
  • The energy of a body in motion, or kinetic energy (KE), is essentially the energy of all moving objects. Along with potential energy, which is the stored energy present in objects at rest, it is one of the two primary types of energy.
  • Explain that a moving object's mass and speed are two factors that impact the amount of kinetic energy it will possess.

6. Two light bulbs are designed for use at 120 V and are rated at 75 W and 150 W. Which light bulb has the greater filament resi
Nonamiya [84]

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

  • P is power
  • R is resistance

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}

Hence

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto V

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto \dfrac{1}{P}

  • Therefore if power is low then resistance will be high.

The first bulb has less power hence it has greater filament resistance.
