Definition: Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
OK. Here we go.
Watch closely:
Divide each side
by 'mass' : <span>Momentum / mass = Speed </span>
Did you follow that ?
The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material
<u>Explanation:</u>
When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.
But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.
Answer:
v = 45.37 m/s
Explanation:
Given,
angle of inclination = 8.0°
Vertical height, H = 105 m
Initial K.E. = 0 J
Initial P.E. = m g H
Final PE = 0 J
Final KE =
Using Conservation of energy
v = 45.37 m/s
Hence, speed of the skier at the bottom is equal to v = 45.37 m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Speed of the jet airplane with respect to air,
If the wind at the airliner’s cruise altitude is blowing at 100 km/h from west to east,
(A) Let is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from west to east,
(B) Let is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from east to west,
Hence, this is the required solution.
