If you do this on Earth, then the acceleration of the falling object is 9.8 m/s^2 ... NO MATTER what it's mass is.
If its mass is 10 kg, then the force pulling it down is 98.1 Newtons. Most people call that the object's "weight".
1) By looking at the table of the visible spectrum, we see that blue light has a wavelength in the range [450-490 nm], while red light has wavelength in the range [620-750 nm]. Therefore, red light has longer wavelength than blue light.
2) The frequency f of an electromagnetic wave is related to its wavelength
by the formula
where c is the speed of light. We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so the shorter the wavelength, the greater the frequency. In this case, blue light has shorter wavelength than red light, so blue light has greater frequency than red light.
3) The energy of the photons of an electromagnetic wave is given by
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency. We see that the energy is directly proportional to the frequency, so the greater the frequency, the greater the energy. In this problem, blue light has greater frequency than red light, so blue light has also greater energy than red light.
Acceleration is given by:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time interval
Let's apply the formula to the different parts of the problem:
A)
Let's convert the quantities into SI units first:
t = 4.0 min = 240 s
So the acceleration is
B)
As before, let's convert the quantities into SI units first:
t = 94 s
So the acceleration is
C)
For this part we have to use a different formula:
where we have
v = 0 is the final velocity
u = 89.2 m/s is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
d = 75 m is the distance covered
Solving for a, we find
Here is the difference between apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. When we say apparent magnitude, this is the measurement of the brightness of the star of how it appears on Earth; on the other hand, absolute magnitude is the measurement of the brightness of the star at a <span>standard distance of 32.6 light years, or 10 parsecs. Hope this answers your question.</span>
