The lights used by Mark Watley (played by Matt Damon) during the film The Martian seem to be Metal Halide lamps. Metal Halide la

mps are filled with vaporized mercury and metal-halogen compounds. When an electric current is passed through the lamp, the tube begins to glow a bright white/blue color. If you were to pass this light through a prism to separate the individual light frequencies, you would see a rainbow just as you would if using natural sunlight because of the complexity of the metal halide gas and the vast amount of possible electron transitions. (The study of light in this way is known as spectroscopy and allows astronomers to know exactly what atoms compose distant stars, simply by looking at the light they emit. The spectral lines an atom produces uniquely identifies that atom just like a fingerprint uniquely identifies a person. The momentum equation and energy equation that we have used above can be combined to give the following equation: c = E p where again p is the photon momentum, E is the photon energy and c is the speed of light. When you divide the photon energy found in #6 by the photon momentum found in #4, do you get the speed of light

Answer:

According to the answer, the speed of light is being achieved.

Explanation:

The velocity of the light is:

C=\frac{E}{P}

Where E = energy = 3.03x10⁻¹⁹J

P = momentum = 1.01x10⁻²⁷kgm/s

Replacing:

C=\frac{3.03x10^{-19} }{1.01x10^{-27} } =3x10^{8} m/s

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea
madreJ [45]
In order to answer this exercise you need to use the formulas

 S = Vo*t + (1/2)*a*t^2

Vf = Vo + at

The data will be given as

Vf = final velocity = ?

Vo = initial velocity = 1.4 m/s

a = acceleration = 0.20 m/s^2

s = displacement = 100m

And now you do the following:

100 = 1.4t + (1/2)*0.2*t^2

t = 25.388s

and

Vf = 1.4 + 0.2(25.388)

Vf = 6.5 m/s

So the answer you are looking for is 6.5 m/s

Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.
netineya [11]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

                                           Weight on Earth = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by  (9.8 m/s²):          Mass = (weight) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                            Mass = (650 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                           Mass = 66.33 kg  (rounded)

A tennis ball of mass m=0.060 kg and speed v=25 m/s strikes a wall at a 45 angle and rebounds with the same velocity at 45°. Wha
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Impulse which can be defined as the product between mass and the total change in velocity. That is to say

p = m\Delta v

Here,

m = mass

\Delta v = Change in velocity

As we can see there are two types of velocity at the moment the object makes the impact,

the first would be the initial velocity perpendicular to the wall and the final velocity perpendicular to the wall.

That is to say,

v_i = vcos\theta

v_f = -v sin\theta

El angulo dado es de 45° y la velocidad de 25, por tanto

v_i = (25)cos(45) = 17.68m/s

v_f = -(25)sin(45) = -17.68m/s

The change of sign indicates a change in the direction of the object.

Therefore the impulse would be as

p = 0.060(-17.68-17.68)

p = -2.12kg \cdot m/s

The negative sign indicates that the pulse is in the opposite direction of the initial velocity.

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice
Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.
