Why is temperature a good criterion for searching for Earthlike exoplanets?

Liquid water is essential for life to exist. Water can occur in a liquid state only within a specific temperature range, so knowing the temperature range on a planet will help astronomers predict whether life exists on that planet. I hope that this helps

Because it gives us the abilitity to find planets that have decent temperatures relative to earths temp so we can determine if the planet even has a possiblilty to sustain life hope this helps

What part of that antonym determines if it will combine or break apart from another substance

emmasim [6.3K]

<h2>Answer</h2>

The <u>electron affinity in chemical reaction</u> decides the formation of breakdown of substance

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Within the chemical reactions, different reactants are come together to make the new compound to complete up to the reaction. The reaction is based on the stability of reactants and the electron affinity of these reactants. The oxidation and reduction process within the reaction is also the main reason to combine or break the substance. For example

$H_2 + F_2 -------> 2HF$

The hydron has the ability to lose electron and fluorine has the ability to gain an electron. The strong or weak electron affinity of this element makes the new compound HF.

A wire 25 m long carries a current of 12 A from west to east. If the magnetic force on the wire due to Earth’s magnetic field is

ra1l [238]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>1.33 x 10⁻ ⁴ T outwards.</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The equation for the magnetic force (F) on a wire whose length is L and carrying a current I in a magnetic field (B) that is uniform is given by;

F = ILB sin θ ---------------------(i)

Where;

θ = angle between the direction of the current and that of the magnetic field.

From the question,

F = 4.0 × 10⁻² N

I = 12A

L = 25m

θ = 90°

<em>Substitute these values into equation(i) and solve as follows;</em>

4.0 × 10⁻² = 12 x 25 x B x sin 90°

4.0 × 10⁻² = 300 x B x 1

4.0 × 10⁻² = 300B

0.04 = 300B

B = $\frac{0.04}{300}$

B = 0.000133

B = 1.33 x 10⁻ ⁴ T

To get the direction of the magnetic field, the right-hand rule is used.

If the right hand fingers are positioned in the correct order specified by the right hand rule, then it would be seen that the magnetic field is directed outwards.

Therefore, the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at this location is <em>1.33 x 10⁻ ⁴ T outwards.</em>

An incandescent bulb is supplied with

Serga [27]

Answer:

Efficiency = 5%

Explanation:

Given that,

Supplies energy to the bulb = 100 J

Transferred energy by the bulb = 5 J

We need to find the efficiency of the bulb. It can be given by "

$\eta=\dfrac{\text{useful energy out}}{\text{useful energy in}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{5}{100}\times 100\\\\=5\%$

So, the efficiency of the bulb is 5%.

We can reasonably model a 90-W incandescent lightbulb as a sphere 7.0cm in diameter. Typically, only about 5% of the energy goes

Ronch [10]

Answer:

292.3254055 W/m²

469.26267 V/m

$1.56421\times 10^{-6}\ T$

Explanation:

P = Power of bulb = 90 W

d = Diameter of bulb = 7 cm

r = Radius = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5\ cm$

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

The intensity is given by

$I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{90}{4\pi 0.035^2}\\\Rightarrow I=5846.50811\ W/m^2$

5% of this energy goes to the visible light so the intensity is

$I=0.05\times 5846.50811\\\Rightarrow I=292.3254055\ W/m^2$

The visible light intensity at the surface of the bulb is 292.3254055 W/m²

Energy density of the wave is

$u=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2$

Energy density is also given by

$\frac{I}{c}=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2\\\Rightarrow E=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{c\epsilon_0}}\\\Rightarrow E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 292.3254055}{3\times 10^8\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}\\\Rightarrow E=469.26267\ V/m$

The amplitude of the electric field at this surface is 469.26267 V/m

Amplitude of a magnetic field is given by

$B=\frac{E}{c}\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{469.26267}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow B=1.56421\times 10^{-6}\ T$

The amplitude of the magnetic field at this surface is $1.56421\times 10^{-6}\ T$
