Question
A glow worm of mass 5.0 g emits red light (650nm) with a power of 0.10W entirely in the backward
direction. To what speed will it have accelerated after 10y if released into free space and assumed to live?
Energy emitted = P(W)-At(s).
Assume the conservation of linear momentum, which means that the loss of a photon imparts an equivalent
momentum in the opposite direction.
total energy
The total momentum imparted to the glow-worm: p = Npphoton where

x= 650nm
N = Energy emitted
p = mv
