Use the displacement law, peak wavelength = 0.0029/T =0.0029/30000 = 97nm

Answer : Wavelength is 97 nm.

Explanation :

It is given that,

The surface temperature of a star, T=30,000\ K

We have to find the wavelength where the peak radiation occurs.

We can find the wavelength using Wein's displacement law i.e.

\lambda=\dfrac{b}{T}

b is the Wein's constant b=2.88\times 10^{-3}m.K

So, \lambda=\dfrac{2.88\times 10^{-3}\ m.K}{30,000\ K}

\lambda=9.6\times 10^{-8}\ m

or \lambda=97\ nm

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Jan ran 4 miles north in 28 minutes. What was Jan's average velocity?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.

What three factors control the path of a surface current
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Surface currents are controlled by three factors: global winds, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflections. surface create surface currents in the ocean. Different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. objects from a straight path due to the Earth's rotation.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.
