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.”?

Oliga [24]3 years ago

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.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<u>Amplitude - remains the same</u>

<u>Frequency - increases</u>

<u>Period - decreases</u>

<u>Velocity - remains the same.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.

What causes a satellite to move tangentially to a circular path?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation : We know that two forces acting on the satellite.

The speed of the satellite and the force of the gravity on the satellite then the result , the satellite moves around the earth in a circular motion.

A satellite to move tangentially to a circular path, while revolving around the circular path because the centripetal force is acting on it.

So, we can say gravity is responsible for the motion of the satellite in a circular path.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: v_f=v_0+a*t, where v_f is the final velocity, v_0 is the initial velocity, a the acceleration, and t is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s}  }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s, where v_f=0\frac{m}{s} because the sled is totally stopped, v_0=282\frac{m}{s} is the velocity of the sled before braking and, a=-201\frac{m}{s^2} is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration:x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2, where x_f-x_0 is the distance traveled, v_0 is the initial velocity, t the time of the process and, a is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m.

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

What is the peak emf generated by rotating a 940-turn, 24 cm diameter coil in the Earth’s 5·10−5 T magnetic field, given th
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The peak emf generated by the coil is 2.67 V

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 940 turns

diameter, d = 24 cm = 0.24 m

magnetic field, B = 5 x 10⁻⁵ T

time, t = 5 ms = 5 x 10⁻³ s

peak emf, V₀ = ?

V₀ = NABω

Where;

N is the number of turns

A is the area

B is the magnetic field strength

ω is the angular velocity

V₀ = NABω and ω = 2πf = 2π/t

V₀ = NAB2π/t

A = πd²/4

V₀ = N x (πd²/4) x B x (2π/t)

V₀ = 940 x (π x 0.24²/4) x 5 x 10⁻⁵ x (2π/0.005)

V₀ = 940 x 0.04524 x  5 x 10⁻⁵ x 1256.8

V₀ = 2.6723 V = 2.67 V

The peak emf generated by the coil is 2.67 V
