Why is a flower not a good blackbody radiator?

Physics

1 answer:

artcher [175]2 years ago

3 0

Answer:

The answer is O C. A flower absorbs most of the light that hits it.

Explanation:

blackbody radiator is defined as an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls on it at all frequencies over all angles of incidence.
No radiation is reflected from such an object. According to thermodynamic arguments embodied in Kirchhoff's law, a good absorber is also a good emitter.

If izzy mass is 0.3kg he applide 657.9n force what will be the accelration

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the body, m = 0.3 kg

The force acting on the body, F = 657.9 N

The force acting on an object is proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

F = m x a

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is

a = F / m

= 657.9 N / 0.3 kg

= 2193 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

A positively charged particle is in the center of a parallel-plate capacitor that has charge ±Q on its plates. SUppose the dista

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Stay the same

Explanation:

First of all, let's find how the capacitance of the capacitor changes.

Initially, it is given by

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

From the formula, we see that the capacitance is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates. In this problem, the distance between the plates is doubled, so the capacitance will be halved:

$C' = \frac{1}{2}C$

The potential difference across the capacitor is given by

$V= \frac{Q}{C}$

where

Q is the charge on the plates

C is the capacitance

We see that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance. We said that the capacitance has halved: therefore, the potential difference across the two plates will double:

$V' = 2 V$

Now we can analyze the electric field between the plates of the capacitor, which is given by

$E=\frac{V}{d}$

we said that:

- The voltage has doubled: V' = 2 V

- The distance between the plates has doubled: d' = 2 d

therefore, the new electric field will be

$E'=\frac{2V}{2d}=\frac{V}{d}=E$

So, the electric field is unchanged. And since the force on the particle at the center is directly proportional to the electric field:

F = qE

Then the force on the particle will stay the same.

A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,

Alika [10]

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. 

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem:

s=1.80m when t=0.245s

This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2)

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation):

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2

v=8.549m/s

Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t)

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like

0=(v)+(a)(t)

Substituting and solving for t:

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t)

t=0.8714s

Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2)

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window:

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m

Answer:

1.925m

Which can make 4 covalent bonds? Carbon, Silicon, or both?

grin007 [14]

Answer:

I would say both

Explanation:

Each silicon atom has four valence electrons which are shared, forming covalent bonds with the four surrounding Si atoms.

Carbon contains four electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it can form four covalent bonds with other atoms or molecules. The simplest organic carbon molecule is methane (CH4), in which four hydrogen atoms bind to a carbon atom (Figure 1).

Aldis is swinging a ball tied to the end of a string over his head. Suddenly, the string breaks and the ball flies away. Arrow b

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Straight line in the direction of the tangential velocity the ball had at the moment the string broke

Explanation:

After the string breaks, the ball now disconnected from the centripetal force that was exerted via the string, continues its travel in a straight line in the direction of the tangential velocity it had at the moment the string broke.
