\(\dfrac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \dfrac{E_2}{E_1} = \dfrac{50}{25} = 2\)
Therefore \(\lambda_1 = 2\lambda_2\).
Higher energy photons have shorter wavelengths โ a fundamental relationship from Planck's quantum theory.
A particle of mass $m$ is projected with speed $v$ at $45ยฐ$ to the horizontal. When it returns to ground level, the magnitude of the change in momentum is:
Initial vertical component: $v_y = v\sin45ยฐ = \dfrac{v}{\sqrt{2}}$ (upward)
On landing (by symmetry): $v_y' = \dfrac{v}{\sqrt{2}}$ (downward)
Horizontal component unchanged. Change in momentum:
$|\Delta\vec{p}| = m\left|\Delta v_y\right| = m\cdot\dfrac{2v}{\sqrt{2}} = \mathbf{mv\sqrt{2}}$
\(5(1)^2 - 4(1) - 1 = 5 - 4 - 1 = 0\)
Remainder \(= 0\).
This sentence has a contrast structure: spacecraft currently face little risk, but the future will be less _____. Whatever fills the blank must describe the current relatively safe state that will diminish in the future.
- Crowded — the future would logically become more crowded, not less. “Less crowded” contradicts the premise.
- Invulnerable — possible in isolation, but not a natural descriptor of an orbital environment as a whole.
- Protected — implies external protective mechanisms, which is not the argument’s focus.
- Benign — means safe and harmless. The current environment is benign (low risk), and the future will be less benign (more dangerous). This fits perfectly.
Correct Answer: D — Benign. The logic requires a word describing the current “safe” state that will erode as more satellites are launched.
