Answer:

The temperature of star is 5473.87 K

Explanation:

Given:

Energy difference \Delta E = 7.5 eV

The ratio of number of particle \frac{N_{f} }{N_{i} } = \frac{1}{2 \times 10^{6} }

Degeneracy ratio \frac{g_{f} }{g_{i} }  = 4

From the formula of boltzmann distribution for population levels,

     \frac{N_{f} }{N_{i} } =\frac{g_{f} }{g_{i} }  e^{-\frac{\Delta E}{kT} }

Where k = boltzmann constant = 8.62 \times 10^{-5} \frac{eV}{K}

     \frac{1}{2 \times 10^{6} } =4  e^{-\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} T} }

  8 \times 10^{6} } = e^{\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} T} }

\ln(8 \times 10^{6})  = {\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} T} }

  T  = {\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} \ln(8 \times 10^{6})} }

  T = 5473.87 K

Therefore, the temperature of star is 5473.87 K

A boat is traveling at an initial velocity of 2.7 meters per second in the positive direction. It accelerates at a rate of 0.15
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.5 \ m/s \ in \ the  \ positive \ direction}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity of the boat.

We are given the initial velocity, acceleration, and time. Therefore, we will use the following kinematic equation.

v_f= v_i + at

The initial velocity is 2.7 meters per second. The acceleration is 0.15 meters per second squared. The time is 12 seconds.

  • v_i= 2.7 m/s
  • a= 0.15 m/s²
  • t= 12 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s)

Multiply the numbers in parentheses.

v_f= 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s/s * 12 \ s)

v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s *12)

\v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)

Add.

v_f=4.5 \ m/s

The final velocity of the boat is <u>4.5 meters per second in the positive direction.</u>

A body initially at 100°C cools to 60°C in minutes and to 40°C. The temperature of body at the end of 15 minutes will be​
zhuklara [117]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A body initially at a all 100 degree centigarde cools to 60 degree centigarde in 5 minutes and to 40 degree centigarde in 10 minutes . What is the temperature of surrounding? What will be the temperature in 15 minutes?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From Newton's law of cooling;

θ1 - θ2/t = K(θ1 + θ2/2 - θo]

Where;

θ1 and θ2 are initial and final temperatures

θo is the temperature of the surroundings

K is the constant

t is the time taken

Hence;

100 - 60/5 = K(100 + 60/2 - θo)

100 - 40/10 = K(100 + 40/2 - θo)

8= (80 - θo)K -----(1)

6= (70 - θo)K -----(2)

Diving (1) by (2)

8/6 = (80 - θo)/(70 - θo)

8(70 - θo) = 6(80 - θo)

560 - 8θo = 480 - θo

560 - 480 = -θo + 8θo

80 = 7θo

θo = 11.4°

Again from Newton's law of cooling;

θ = θo + Ce^-kt

Where;

t= 0, θ = 60° and θo = 11.4°

60 = 11.4 + C e^-K(0)

60 - 11.4 = C

C= 48.6°

To obtain K

40 = 11.4 + 48.6e^-10k

40 -11.4 = 48.6e^-10k

28.6/48.6 = e^-10k

0.5585 = e^-10k

-10k = ln0.5585

k= ln0.5585/-10

K= 0.0583

Hence, the temperature in 15 minutes;

θ= 11.4 + 48.6e^(-0.0583 × 15)

θ= 31.7°

4. What's the voltage drop if V, = 56 V, V2 = 35 V, and V3 = 3 V
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The correct option is A. 18 V

Therefore,

V_{1}=18\ V

Explanation:

Given:

Total Voltage,

V = 56 V,

Voltage drop

V_{2}=35\ V

V_{3}=3\ V

To Find:

V_{1}=? (Assumed ,as it is not given clearly in the question)

Solution:

So in series combination total Voltage is given as

V=V_{1}+V_{2}+V_{3}

Substituting the values we get

56=V_{1}+35+3\\\\V_{1}=56-38=18\ V

Therefore,

V_{1}=18\ V
