Momentum is conserved.

p = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = constant

Momentum before the collision(kick):

p = 80 * 0 + 4 * 0 = 0

Momentum after the collision:
p = 80 * v₁ + 4 * 15 = 0

Solve for v₁.

Not too long ago houses were protected from excessive currents by fuses rather than circuit breakers. sometimes a fuse blew out
olganol [36]

Answer: Resistance = 8.21 \times 10^{-8} \Omega

The approximate diameter of a penny is, <em>d</em> = 20 mm

thickness of penny is, <em>L = </em> 1.5×10^{-3} mm

The area of penny along circular face is,A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} =\frac{\pi (20 mm\frac{1 m}{1000 m})^2}{4}

= 3.14×10^{-4} m²

The resistivity of copper is <em>ρ</em> = 1.72 x 10-8 Ωm.

Resistance,

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}  = (1.72 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m)\frac{1.5 \times 10^{-3} m}{3.14 \times 10^{-4} m^2} = 8.21 \times 10^{-8} \Omega

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s
alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.

A pet-store supply truck moves at 25.0 m/s north along a highway. inside, a dog moves at 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of
koban [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

  Speed of truck = 25 m/s north = 25 j m/s

  Speed of dog = 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of north = (1.75 cos 35 i + 1.75 sin 35 j)m/s

                          = (1.43 i + 1.00 j) m/s

    Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 25 j + 1.43 i + 1.00 j = 1.43 i + 26.00 j

    Magnitude of velocity = 26.04 m/s

    Angle from positive horizontal axis = 86.85⁰

 So Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 86.85⁰ east of north = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.
