The speedometer in a car gives gives the car's ___

If the distance d (in meters) traveled by an object in time t (in seconds) is given by the formula d=a+bt2, the si units of a an

ss7ja [257]

Distance , d = a+b $t^2$

The unit of d is in meter and t is in seconds.

So the unit of a a must be meter.

Now we have unit of b $t^2$ is meter.

So unit of b* $second^2$ = meter

Unit of b = meter/ $second^2$

So unit of a = m and unit of b = m/ $s^2$ .

Ymorist [56]

This question is incomplete the complete question is

A diver bounces straight up from a diving board, avoiding the diving board on the way down, and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s and her takeoff point is 1.80 m above the pool. (a) What is her highest point above the board? (b) How long a time are her feet in the air? (c) What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?

Answer:

(a) Xs=0.459m

(b) t=0.984 s

(c) Vc=6.65 m/s

Explanation:

(a) To reach maximum distance

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}\\ Vf=0\\v_{b}^{2}=v_{a}^{2}+2gx_{s} \\ x_{s}=\frac{0-(3^{2} )}{-2*9.8}\\ x_{s}=0.459m$

(b) For Time

To find t we must find t1 and t2

as

t=t1+t2

For T1

$t_{1}=(Vb-Va)/g \\t_{1}=(0-3)/9.8\\t_{1}=0.306s$

For T2

$x_{l}=Vbt+(1/2)gt_{2}^{2}\\ as\\x_{l}=x_{1}+x_{s}\\x_{l}=1.8+0.459\\x_{l}=2.259\\so\\t_{2}=\frac{2.259*2}{9.8} \\t_{2}=0.6789s$

For Total Time

t=t1+t2

t=0.306+0.6789

t=0.984s

(c) To find Vc

Vc=Vb+gt2

Vc=(0)+(9.8)(0.6789)

Vc=6.65 m/s

What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody? According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an objec

jasenka [17]

Answer:

a) What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody?

The total emitted energy per unit of time and per unit of area depends in its temperature (Stefan-Boltzmann law).

The peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (Wien’s displacement law).

The spectral density energy is related with the temperature and the wavelength (Planck’s law).

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave length of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

Explanation:

A blackbody is an ideal body that absorbs all the thermal radiation that hits its surface, thus becoming an excellent emitter, as these bodies express themselves without light radiation, and therefore they look black.

The radiation of a blackbody depends only on its temperature, thus being independent of its shape, material and internal constitution.

If it is study the behavior of the total energy emitted from a blackbody at different temperatures, it can be seen how as the temperature increases the energy will also increase, this energy emitted by the blackbody is known as spectral radiance and the result of the behavior described previously is Stefan's law:

$E = \sigma T^{4}$ (1)

Where $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature.

The Wien’s displacement law establish how the peak of emission of the spectrum will be displace to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (inversely proportional):

$\lambda max = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{T}$ (2)

Planck’s law relate the temperature with the spectral energy density (shape) of the spectrum:

$E_{\lambda} = {{8 \pi h c}\over{{\lambda}^5}{(e^{({hc}/{\lambda \kappa T})}-1)}}}$ (3)

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wavelength of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

It is need it to known the temperature of both objects before doing the comparison. That can be done by means of the Wien’s displacement law.

Equation (2) can be rewrite in terms of T:

$T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}$ (4)

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue:

Before replacing all the values in equation (4), $\lambda max$ (450 nm) will be express in meters:

$450 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}$ ⇒ $4.5x10^{-7}m$

$T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{4.5x10^{-7}m}$

$T = 6440 K$

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red:

Following the same approach above:

$700 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}$ ⇒ $7x10^{-7}m$

$T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{7x10^{-7}m}$

$T = 4140 K$

Comparison:

$\frac{6440 K}{4140 K} = 1.55$

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path, it has a velocity of 34.5

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the airplane. u = 34.5 m/s

distance traveled by the airplane, s = 46,100 m

final velocity of the airplane, v = 40.7 m/s

The acceleration of the airplane is calculated from the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

$2as= v^2 - u^2\\\\a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s} \\\\a = \frac{(40.7)^2 -(34.5)^2}{2 \times 46,100} \\\\a = 5.06 \ \times \ 10^{-3} \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²
