Answer:

A. 2.8 m/s

Explanation:

Suppose that at the height of 0 m, the path of the pendulum is lowest.

If we use law of conservation of energy, the pendulum will have zero kinetic energy or K.E when it is at highest point, because K.E happens during movement of object and at the highest point all the energy will be P.E

                                                    P.E= mgh

Similarly, when the pendulum reaches at the lowest point, the height becomes zero and the P.E also becomes zero. Now all the energy will be K.E

                                               K.E= 1/2 m v^2

In question, we are asked about the speed as the pendulum  it reaches the lowest point of its path. Like we mentioned P.E will be zero at lowest point  because of zero height. And also we will use law of conservation of energy because no energy has been lost from system.

                                                  K.E=     P.E

                                       1/2 m v^2  =   mgh

Taking sq.root at both sides

                                                  v= Under root 2 gh

                                                   v=Under root 2x 9.8 m/s x0.4 m

                                                   v=Under root 7.84

                                                    v=2.8 m/sec

Hope it helps!

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.

A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks at the stately pace of 0.060 m/s. After 1.1 minutes, the finch ti
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Average Speed = 6.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is simply given by the following formula:

Average Speed = Total Distance Traveled/Total Time Spent

here,

Total Time Spent = 1.1 min + 1.5 min = (2.6 min)(60 s/min) = 156 s

Now, for total distance, we have to calculate the distance traveled on tortoise and distance traveled while flying, separately. Therefore,

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (Time spent on Tortoise)(Speed of Tortoise)

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (1.1 min)(60 s/min)(0.06 m/s) = 3.96 m

Similarly,

Flying Distance = (Flying Time)(Flying Speed) = (1.5 min)(60 s/min)(11 m/s)

Flying Distance =  990 m

Since, total distance is the sum of both distances, therefore,

Total Distance = 3.96 m + 990 m = 993.96 m

Now, using the values in equation of average speed, we get:

Average Speed = 993.96 m/156 s

<u>Average Speed = 6.37 m/s</u>

Imagine that there is a small rocky body caught by Earth’s gravity. Draw a comic-strip cartoon
vladimir1956 [14]

To create this comic strip you can use a narration describing each step and illustrate each one with one image or drawing.

Creating a comic strip involves using images and short texts to explain a specific idea or phenomenon. In the case of the process for a meteor to enter Earth you can use the following ideas.

  • A meteoroid approaches the Earth at high speed and draw a meteor traveling near to different planets and approaching Earth.
  • What is that? and draw the Earth wondering who or what is approaching.
  • The meteoroid enters the atmosphere of the Earth and becomes a meteor and draw the rocky body burning
  • The rocky body crashes with the surface becoming a meteorite and draw the zone where the meteorite crashed.
