The correct option is A) work.

Work is said to be done by a force when a force is exerted on an object and the the object on which the force is exerted moves in the direction of the force.

The amount of work done is given by the product of the force and the displacement made by the object.

Option (B) is incorrect, since Watt is the unit of power.

Option (C) is wrong, since joule is the unit of work or energy.

Option (D) is wrong, since power is the rate at which work is done.

What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and str

Oliga [24]

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.

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 1,715 m

Explanation:

We are given the information from the group of teen at the City edge

Time of arrival of explosion sound = 5 s after sighting

Time of sighting explosion = 5 s before hearing the boom

Speed of sound in air ≈ 343 m/s

Speed of light = 299,792 km/s

Therefore, distance covered by sound in 5 seconds is given by the following equation;

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

$\therefore 343 \ m/s= \frac{Distance}{5 \, s}$

Hence Distance = 343 m/s × 5 s = 1715 m

To check, we compare the time it would take for the light to cover 1715 m

That is $Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} = \frac{1715}{299,792,000} = 0.00000572 \, s$ which is instantaneous hence the distance can be approximated by the time duration for the speed of sound.

Therefore, the distance of the students from the factory is approximately 1,715 m

A professor sits at rest on a stool that can rotate without friction. The rotational inertia of the professor-stool system is 4.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$\omega=0.37 [rad/s]$

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of the angular momentum.

$L=mvR$

$I\omega=mvR$

Now the Inertia is I(professor_stool) plus mR², that is the momentum inertia of a hoop about central axis.

So we will have:

$(I_{proffesor - stool}+mR^{2})\omega=mvR$

Now, we just need to solve it for ω.

$\omega=\frac{mvR}{I_{proffesor-stool}+mR^{2}}$

$\omega=\frac{1.5*2.7*0.4}{4.1+1.5*0.4^{2}}$

$\omega=0.37 [rad/s]$

I hope it helps you!

Refraction can occur only when light is

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

We have learned that refraction occurs as light passes across the boundary between two media. Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path.
