What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and str

ong calcium lines. The Sun must therefore contain more calcium than hydrogen.”?
Physics
1 answer:
Oliga [24]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

spectral lines or signatures of elements depend on temperature, the temperature of the sun is about 5800 K.

at this temperature most calcium atoms are excited to higher energy states than hydrogen atoms and this means that calcium atoms are gonna have more signatures than the atoms of hydrogen.

the statement that the sun shows weak hyrogen lines and strong calcium line is wrong because at the sun's temperature most of the hydrogen atoms are in lower energy states while calcium atoms are in higher energy states hence calcium has more or ''strong'' lines than hydrogen.

A wall (of thermal conductivity 0.98 W/m · ◦ C) of a building has dimensions of 3.7 m by 15 m. The average inside and outside
disa [49]

Answer:

Answer:

the amount of energy flowing is 1.008x10⁹J

Explanation:

To calculate how much heat flows, the expression is the following:

Where

K=thermal conductivity=0.81W/m°C

A=area=6.2*12=74.4m²

ΔT=30-8=22°C

L=thickness=8cm=0.08m

t=time=16.9h=60840s

Replacing:

The overhang beam is subjected to the uniform distributed load having an intensity of w = 50 kn/m. determine the maximum shear s
alex41 [277]
Given:

Uniform distributed load with an intensity of W = 50 kN / m on an overhang beam.

We need to determine the maximum shear stress developed in the beam:

τ = F/A

Assuming the area of the beam is 100 m^2 with a length of 10 m.

τ = F/A
τ = W/l
τ = 50kN/m / 10 m
τ = 5kN/m^2
τ = 5000 N/ m^2<span />
