Answer:

1 cm⁻¹ =1.44K  1 ev = 1.16 10⁴ K

Explanation:

The relationship between temperature and thermal energy is

     E = K T

The relationship of the speed of light

    c =λ f = f / ν          1/λ= ν

The Planck equation is

          E = h f

Let's start the transformations

     c = f λ = f / ν        

     f = c ν

     E = h f

     E = h c ν

     E = KT

     h c ν = K T

     T = h c ν  / K =( h c / K) ν

Let's replace the constants

     h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

     c = 3 10⁸ m / s

     K = 1.38  10⁻²³ J / K

 

     v = 1 cm-1 (100 cm / 1 m) = 10² m-1

   

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 1 10²

     A = h c / K = 1,441 10⁻²

     T =  1.44K

     ν = 103 cm⁻¹ = 103 10² m

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 103 10²

     T = 148K

1 Rydberg = 1.097 10 7 m

As we saw at the beginning the λ=1 / v

     T = (h c / K) 1 /λ

     T = 1,441 10⁻²  1 / 1,097 10⁷

     T = 1.3 10⁻⁹ K

    E = 1Ev (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J /1 eV) = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E = KT

    T = E/K

    T = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ /1.38 10⁻²³

    T = 1.16 10⁴ K

A sled drops 50 meters in height on a hill. The mass of the rider and sled is 70 kg and the sled is going 10 m/s at the bottom o
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 10.2 %

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70 kg

Height = 50 m

Velocity = 10 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the efficiency of energy conversion from potential to kinetic;

First of all, we would determine the potential energy;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 * 9.8 * 50

P.E = 34300 J

For the kinetic energy;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 70 * 10²

K.E = 35 * 100

K.E = 3500

Therefore, Input energy, I = 34300 J

Output energy, O = 3500 J

Next, we find the efficiency;

Efficiency = O/I * 100

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Efficiency = 3500/34300 * 100

Efficiency = 0.1020 * 100

Efficiency = 10.2 %

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

-6.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 30.5 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4.5 s

Find: a

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0 m/s − 30.5 m/s) / 4.5 s

a = -6.8 m/s²

Explain how do winds cause surface currents?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

As wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it. ... The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns.
