Is light a wave or a particle? (points 1)

None of the choices is an acceptable answer. Light ... as well as all other forms of electromagnetic radiation ... is both. When you run light through an experiment built to detect particles ... such as photoelectric stimulation of electron emission ... the light behaves like a stream of particles. When you set up an experiment built to measure and detect waves ... like reflection, refraction, diffraction, dispersion, constructive and destructive interference ... the light does all of those things too. Scientists would only debate the question if light absolutely positively had to be one or the other, and could not possibly be both. Such a debate isn't necessary, and scientists no longer waste their time arguing about it. Light is both. Between Maxwell and Einstein, the wave/particle duality of light had been convincingly demonstrated well over a hundred years ago.

A sled is pulled up to the top of a hill. At thetop of the hill the sled is released from rest and allowed to coastdown the hill
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a.) the speed at the bottom is greater for the steeperhill

Explanation:

since the energy at the bottom of the steeper hilis greater

mgh =\frac{1}{mv^2}

As we can see from above that v is higher when h ishigher.

2. An 873 kg dragster accelerates at a rate of 44.6 m/s during a race.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

<h3>38,673.9N</h3>

Explanation:

According to newton's second law:

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 873kg

acceleration = 44.66m/s²

Magnitude of the force is expressed as;

F = ma

F = 873 * 44.6

F = 38,673.9N

<em>Hence the magnitude of the net force exerted on the dragster during this time is 38,673.9N</em>

explain y it is easier to loosen a tight but using a spanner with along handle than with a short handle​
8090 [49]

Answer:

This is because using a long handled requires less force to the center of gravity and makes it easier to rotate than a short handled spanner

This force will cause the path of the particle to curve. Therefore, at a later time, the direction of the force will ___________
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

have a component along the direction of motion that remains perpendicular to the direction of motion

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to enter which sentence is correct, let's start by writing Newton's second law.

circular movement

          F = m a

          a = v² / r

          F = m v²/R

where the force is perpendicular to the velocity, all the force is used to change the direction of the velocity

in linear motion

         F = m a

where the force is parallel to the acceleration of the body, the total force is used to change the modulus of the velocity

the correct answer is: have a component along the direction of motion that remains perpendicular to the direction of motion
