The following three particles all have the same total energy E: (a) a photon, (b) a proton, and (c) an electron. Rank the magnitudes of the particles’ momenta from greatest to smallest.

According to the law of conservation of mass, in a chemical reaction the total starting mass of all the reactants equal the total final mass of all the products. true or false?

Search coils and credit cards. one practical way to measure magnetic field strength uses a small, closely wound coil called a search coil. the coil is initially held with its plane perpendicular to a magnetic field. the coil is then either quickly rotated a quarter-turn about a diameter or quickly pulled out of the field. (a) derive the equation relating the total charge q that flows through a search coil to the magnetic-field magnitude b. the search coil has n turns, each with area a, and the flux through the coil is decreased from its initial maximum value to zero in a time ∆t. the resistance of the coil is r, and the total charge is q = i∆t, where i is the average current induced by the change in flux. (b) in a credit card reader, the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card is rapidly “swiped” past a coil within the reader. explain, using the same ideas that underlie the operation of a search coil, how the reader can decode the information stored in the pattern of magnetization on the strip. (c) is it necessary that the credit card be “swiped” through the reader at exactly the right speed? why or why not?

Suppose astronomers built a 140-meter telescope. how much greater would its light-collecting area be than that of the 10-meter keck telescope? express your answer using two sign
