Answer:

9.8 m

Explanation:

The rate of free fall of a body does not depend on its mass or shape in the absence of air resistance. This property of gravitational force is proved by the famous leaning tower of Pisa experiment by Galileo.

The gravitational force is responsible for the gravitational acceleration of a body.

When considering the gravitational acceleration near the surface of Earth it has the constant value g = 9.8 m/s irrespective of the mass of the body.

This phenomenon states that every projectile falls at the same rate such that its velocity keeps on increasing to maintain the constancy of g.

So, when a projectile fall initially from a certain height for one second, it would have traveled only 9.8 m.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth V = 9.05 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The local ocean current is = 1.52 m/s

Direction $\theta$ = 40°

Velocity component in X - direction $V_{x}$ = 1.52 $\cos 40$ °

$V_{x}$ = 1.164 $\frac{m}{s}$

Velocity component in Y - direction $V_{y}$ = 8 + 1.52 $\sin 40$ °

$V_{y}$ = 8.97 $\frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth

$V = \sqrt{V_{x}^{2} + V_{y} ^{2} }$

Put the values of $V_{x}$ and $V_{y}$ we get,

⇒ $V = \sqrt{1.164^{2} + 8.97 ^{2} }$

⇒ V = 9.05 $\frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of the ship relative to the earth.

What is the temperature of a star (in Kelvin) if its peak wavelength is 150 nm (that is, 150 x 10^-9 m)?

liq [111]

Answer:

19320 K

Explanation:

The temperature of a star is related to its peak wavelength by Wien's displacement law:

$T=\frac{b}{\lambda}$

where

T is the absolute temperature at the star's surface

$b=2.898 \cdot 10^{-3}m\cdot K$ is Wien's displacement constant

$\lambda$ is the peak wavelength

Here we have

$\lambda=150 nm = 150\cdot 10^{-9}nm$

Substituting into the equation, we find

$T=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3}}{150\cdot 10^{-9}}=19320 K$
