The acceleration of a body in a gravitational field is independent of its mass. Both the stones will fall with the same acceleration through the same height and hence they will strike the ground simultaneously.

Light with a wavelength of 494 nm in vacuo travels from vacuum to water. Find the wavelength of the light inside the water in nm
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

370.6 nm

Explanation:

wavelength in vacuum = 494 nm

refractive index of water with respect to air = 1.333

Let the wavelength of light in water is λ.

The frequency of the light remains same but the speed and the wavelength is changed as the light passes from one medium to another.

By using the definition of refractive index

n = \frac{wavelength in air}{wavelength in water}

where, n be the refractive index of water with respect to air

By substituting the values, we get

1.333 = \frac{494}{\lambda }

λ = 370.6 nm

Thus, the wavelength of light in water is 370.6 nm.

What is the temperature if the peak of a blackbody spectrum is at 19.0 nm ?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

1.52 * 10⁵ K

Explanation:

When the temperature of a blackbody radiator increases, the overall radiated energy increases and the peak of the radiation curve moves to shorter wavelengths. When the maximum is evaluated from the Planck radiation formula, the product of the peak wavelength and the temperature is found to be a constant.  

By Wien's Law,

λ * T = 2.898 * 10⁻³ mK

∴ T = 2.898 * 10⁻³/λ

Given λ = 19 nm = 19 * 10⁻⁹

T = 2.898 * 10⁻³ / 19 * 10⁻⁹

  =1.52 * 10⁵ K

If the mass of the earth and all objects on it were suddenly doubled, then the ________
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The force of universal gravitation between earth and all objects in it will be quadrupled

Explanation:

Newtons law of universal gravitation tell us the force of attraction between two bodies on the earth surface . This force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to their distance apart.

f is directly proportional to m1*m2

doubling these masses will be 2m1*2m2 = 4m1m2

if mas of earth is Me and mass of all objects is Mo

the f is proportional to Me*Mo

doubling the masses of the earth and all objects we have, 2Me*2Mo= 4MeMo

This means that doubling the masses of the earth and all objects on it will cause the force of gravitational attraction to be quadrupled.

As a liquid is heated, its vapor pressure increases until the vapor pressure equals the pressure of the gas above it. ... In order to form vapor, the molecules of the liquid must overcome the forces of attraction between them. The temperature of a boiling liquid remains constant, even when more heat is added.

A bicycle wheel with radius 0.3 m rotates from rest to 3 rev/s in 5 s. What is the magnitude and direction of the total accelera
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Radius of bicycle wheel r=0.3\ m

Initial angular velocity \omega _0=0

It rotates 3 revolution in 5 s therefore

\omega =2\pi 3=\6\pi =18.85\ rad/s

using \omega =\omega _0+\alpha t

where \alpha =angular\ acceleration

\omega =Final\ angular\ velocity

t=time

\alpha =\frac{18.85}{5}=3.77 rad/s^2

Total acceleration of any point will be a vector sum of tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration

\omega at t=1

\omega =0+3.77\times 1=3.77 rad/s

a_c=\omega ^2\cdot r

a_c=(3.77)^2\cdot 0.3=4.26 m/s^2

Tangential acceleration a_t=\alpha \times r

a_t=3.77\times 0.3=1.13 m/s^2

a_{net}=\sqrt{a_t^2+a_c^2}

a_{net}=\sqrt{(1.13)^2+(4.26)^2}

a_{net}=4.41 m/s^2
