The cockroach Periplaneta americana can detect a static electric field of magnitude 8.50 kN/C using their long antennae. If the

excess static charge on a cockroach is modeled as point charges located at the end of each antenna, what magnitude of charge q would each antenna possess in order for each antennae to experience a force of magnitude 2.00 μN from the external electric field? Calculate q in units of nanocoulombs (nC) .

Answer:

0.235 nC

Explanation:

Given:

  • E = the magnitude of electric field = 8.50\ kN/C =8.50\times 10^{3}\ N/C
  • F = the magnitude of electric force on each antenna = 2.00\ \mu N =2.00\times 10^{-6}\ N
  • q = The magnitude of charge on each antenna

Since the electric field is the electric force applied on a charged body of unit charge.

\therefore E = \dfrac{F}{q}\\\Rightarrow q =\dfrac{F}{E}\\\Rightarrow q =\dfrac{2.00\times 10^{-6}\ N}{8.50\times 10^{3}\ N/C}\\\Rightarrow q =0.235\times 10^{-9}\ C\\\Rightarrow q =0.235\ nC

Hence, the value of q is 0.235 nC.

which view of the macroeconomy suggests that the speed of adjustment Purcell correction would be very quick
horsena [70]

Rational expectations theory suggests that the speed of adjustment Purcell correction would be very quick.

<h3>What Is Rational Expectations Theory?</h3>

The rational expectations theory is a widely used concept and modeling technique in macroeconomics. Individuals make decisions based on three primary factors, according to the theory: their human rationality, the information available to them, and their past experiences.

The rational expectations hypothesis was originally suggested by John (Jack) Muth 1 (1961) to explain how the outcome of a given economic phenomena depends to a certain degree on what agents expect to happen.

  • People who have rational expectations always learn from their mistakes.
  • Forecasts are unbiased, and people make decisions based on all available information and economic theories.
  • People understand how the economy works and how government policies affect macroeconomic variables like the price level, unemployment rate, and aggregate output.

What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody? According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an objec
jasenka [17]

Answer:

a) What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody?

The total emitted energy per unit of time and per unit of area depends in its temperature (Stefan-Boltzmann law).

The peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (Wien’s displacement law).

The spectral density energy is related with the temperature and the wavelength (Planck’s law).

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave length of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

Explanation:

A blackbody is an ideal body that absorbs all the thermal radiation that hits its surface, thus becoming an excellent emitter, as these bodies express themselves without light radiation, and therefore they look black.

The radiation of a blackbody depends only on its temperature, thus being independent of its shape, material and internal constitution.

If it is study the behavior of the total energy emitted from a blackbody at different temperatures, it can be seen how as the temperature increases the energy will also increase, this energy emitted by the blackbody is known as spectral radiance and the result of the behavior described previously is Stefan's law:

E = \sigma T^{4}  (1)

Where \sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature.

The Wien’s displacement law establish how the peak of emission of the spectrum will be displace to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (inversely proportional):

\lambda max = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{T}   (2)

Planck’s law relate the temperature with the spectral energy density (shape) of the spectrum:

E_{\lambda} = {{8 \pi h c}\over{{\lambda}^5}{(e^{({hc}/{\lambda \kappa T})}-1)}}}  (3)

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wavelength of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

It is need it to known the temperature of both objects before doing the comparison. That can be done by means of the Wien’s displacement law.

Equation (2) can be rewrite in terms of T:

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}   (4)

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue:

Before replacing all the values in equation (4), \lambda max (450 nm) will be express in meters:

450 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}  ⇒ 4.5x10^{-7}m

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{4.5x10^{-7}m}

T = 6440 K

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red:

Following the same approach above:

700 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}  ⇒ 7x10^{-7}m

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{7x10^{-7}m}

T = 4140 K

Comparison:

\frac{6440 K}{4140 K} = 1.55

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x=0.154kg

Explanation:

(x*L)+(0.5kg*4200*50)+(x*4200*(-50)=0

(x*333 000J/kg*c)+(0.5kg*4200J/kg*C*(-40C))+(x*4200J/kg*C*50C)=0
