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

What is simple machines and it type.I need it today please​
raketka [301]

Simple machines are tools, devices or objects that are used to make work easier.

TYPES OF SIMPLE MACHINES.

  • Levers
  • Inclined Plane
  • Wedges
  • Screw
  • Pulley
  • Wheel & Axle

<u>T</u><u>H</u><u>E</u><u> </u><u>L</u><u>E</u><u>V</u><u>E</u><u>R</u><u>S</u>

A lever is simply a plank or ridge beam that is free to rotate on a pivot.

<u>P</u><u>A</u><u>R</u><u>T</u><u>S</u><u> </u><u>O</u><u>F</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u> </u><u>L</u><u>E</u><u>V</u><u>E</u><u>R</u><u> </u>

  1. Load
  2. Effort
  3. Fulcrum or pivot

<u>C</u><u>L</u><u>A</u><u>S</u><u>S</u><u>E</u><u>S</u><u> </u><u>O</u><u>F</u><u> </u><u>L</u><u>E</u><u>V</u><u>E</u><u>R</u><u>S</u>

THE FIRST CLASS LEVER

In this class, the FULCRUM is between the EFFORT and the LOAD. The mechanical advantage is more if the load is closer to the FULCRUM. Examples: seesaws, boat oars and crowbars.

THE SECOND CLASS LEVER

In this class, the LOAD is between the EFFORT and the FULCRUM. The mechanical advantage is more if the LOAD is closer to the FULCRUM. Example: wheelbarrow.

THE THIRD CLASS LEVER

In this class, the EFFORT is between the LOAD and the FULCRUM. The mechanical advantage is more if the EFFORT is closer to the LOAD. Example: garden shovel.

<u>T</u><u>H</u><u>E</u><u> </u><u>INCLINED</u><u> </u><u>PLANE</u><u> </u><u>OR</u><u> </u><u>RAMP</u>

An inclined plane is a simple machine with a sloping surface. It makes it easier for us to move objects from lower grounds to higher grounds.

<u>W</u><u>E</u><u>D</u><u>G</u><u>E</u><u>S</u>

A wedge is simply a triangular tool, often made of wood, stone, metal or plastic. It is thick at one end and tapers to a thin or sharp edge at the other end. Examples: knife, axe, doorstopper, nail, blade on the snow plough or farmer grader.

<u>PULLEY</u>

A pulley is simply a wheel with a groove in it, and a rope in the groove. It is used to lift heavy objects from the ground to high places.

<u>WHEEL</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>AXLE</u>

Involves two circular objects joined at the center. It works when force is applied to the wheel or when force is applied to the axle. Example: door knob.

Nancy is sailing her boat toward Sam's boat at 5
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Nora's boat is moving towards Sam at 5 km/hr

Explanation:

The question says that Nora is few meters behind Nancy and is still with respect to her that means the relative velocity between Nora and Nancy is zero

Vrel = 5 - Vnora= 0 ⇒ Vnora = 5km/hr

Pictorially we can represent the given condition as:

Nora-------few meters------Nancy -----------------    Sam

5km/hr                                         5km/hr →

Hence,  Nora's boat is moving towards Sam at 5km/hr.

Sandy is whirling a ball attached to a string in a horizontal circle over his head. If Sandy doubles the speed of the ball, what
jeka57 [31]

The tension in the string B) It quadruples.

Explanation:

The ball is in uniform circular motion in a horizontal circle, so the tension in the string is providing the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion. So we can write:

T= m\frac{v^2}{r}

where:

T is the tension in the string

m is the mass of the ball

v is the speed of the ball

r is the radius of the circle (the lenght of the string)

In this problem, we are told that the speed of the ball is doubled, so

v' = 2v

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the new tension in the string:

T' = m \frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(m\frac{v^2}{r})=4T

Therefore, the tension in the string will quadruple.
