Physics
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

The part of solar radiation that is visible at the earth's surface is called the visible light.

Human eyes is sensitive and able to detect electromagnetic radiation within this range.

  • It is located between 400 - 700nm range in the spectrum.
  • Below it is the Infrared zone
  • Above it is the ultraviolet
  • All the colors we perceive are domiciled here.
  • In the absence of this range, one will not be able to see.

An aluminum wire is 5.87 m long and has a diameter of 6.07 mm.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: 5.72 x 10-3Ω

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to calculate the cross sectional area of the cable:

Diameter (D)=6.07 mm

Since: 1000mm = 1m

6.07mm/ 1000mm/m = 0.00607 meters

Area of a circle : π (d/2)^2

A = π (0.00607/2)^2= 0.000028937 m2

Resistance formula:

Resistance (R) = P(resistivity) L (length)÷A (cross sectional area )

Replacing with the values given:

R = (2.82x10-8 x 5.87) / 0.000028937

R = 5.72 x 10-3Ω

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

One important relationship between chemical and mechanical weathering is ________. 1. mechanical weathering forms more brittle m
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

2. mechanical weathering can produce smaller pieces of rock that have more surface area for chemical weathering to work Explanation:

Mechanical weathering involves activities of living organisms or some geological processes. The bigger rocks are usually reduced to smaller rocks and further reduction might be limited or not posibble mechanically. This reduced rocks now increases the surface area available for chemical weathering; which further reduces the sizes of the rocks below the size range of mechanical weathering. one will recall that the rate of chemical reaction increases with exposed surface area.

What would be the escape speed for a craft launched from a space elevator at a height of 54,000 km?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 3.63 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity equation for a craft launched from the Earth surface is:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Where:

V_{e} is the escape velocity

G=6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} is the Universal Gravitational constant

M=5.976(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

R=6371 km=6371000 m is the Earth's radius

However, in this situation the craft would be launched at a height h=54000 km=54000000 m over the Eart's surface with a space elevator. Hence, we have to add this height to the equation:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2})(5.976(10)^{24}kg)}{6371000 m+54000000 m}}

Finally:

V_{e}=3633.86 m/s \approx 3.63 km/s

Richard Julius once made a model plane that could travel a max speed of 110 m/s. Suppose the plane was held in a circular path b
hjlf

Answer:

85.8 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the length of the circular path, L the plane travels is

L = rθ where r = radius of path and θ = angle covered

Now,its speed , v = dL/dt = drθ/dt = rdθ/dt + θdr/dt

where dθ/dt = ω = angular speed = v'/r where v' = maximum speed of plane and r = radius of circular path

Now, from θ = θ₀ + ωt where θ₀ = 0 rad, ω = angular speed  and t = time,

θ = θ₀ + ωt = 0 + ωt = ωt

So, v = rdθ/dt + θdr/dt

v = rω + ωtdr/dt

v = (r + tdr/dt)ω

v = (r + tdr/dt)v'/r

v = v' + tv'/r(dr/dt)

v = v'[1 + t(dr/dt)/r]

Given that v' = 110 m/s, t = 33.0s, r = 120 m and dr/dt = rate at which line is shortened = -0.80 m/s (negative since it is decreasing)

So, v = 110 m/s[1 + 33.0 s(-0.80 m/s)/120 m]

v = 110 m/s[1 + 11.0 s(-0.80 m/s)/40 m]

v = 110 m/s[1 + 11.0 s(-0.02/s)]

v = 110 m/s[1 - 0.22]

v = 110 m/s(0.78)

v = 85.8 m/s
