You are heating two chunks of metal of the same size and shape. One is made of lead and is heated

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

This question is incomplete without the options but the options are provided below

(a) the two spectra peak at the same wavelength

(b) the spectra cannot be compared because they come from different materials

(c) The lead spectrum peak is at a shorter wavelength than the iron spectrum peak

(d) the lead spectrum peak is at a longer wavelength than the iron spectrum peak

The correct option is c

Explanation:

This question on quantum physics seek to test our knowledge of Wien's displacement law which states that when different temperatures (in kelvin) of a black body radiator increases, they will peak at different wavelengths which are inversely proportional to the temperature. Hence, <u>an increase in temperature of a black-body object will peak at a shorter wavelength than the other black-body object with a lesser temperature; since the lead was heated to 400 K, it's spectrum will peak at a shorter wavelength than that of iron which was heated to 350 K.</u>

Hence, the correct option is c

Which reaction takes place in a nuclear fission reactor?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Last option in the list of possible answers, with U235 and n (neutron) in the left (originators) of the reaction diagram.

Explanation:

Uranium 235 (which is a fissile isotope of uranium) plus slow neutrons is what produce the chain reaction that feeds nuclear reactors.

A ball is thrown from ground level with an initial speed of 24.5 m/s at an angle of 35.5 degrees above the horizontal. The ball
eimsori [14]

6.07 m

Explanation:

Given:

v_0=24.5\:\text{m/s}

\theta_0 = 35.5°

First, we need to find the amount of time it takes to travel a horizontal distance of 25.8 m. We know that

x = v_{0x}t \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{x}{v_0 \cos \theta_0}

or

t = 1.29\:\text{s}

To find the vertical height where the ball hit the wall, we use

y = v_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

\:\:\:\:=(24.5\:\text{m/s})\sin 35.5(1.29\:\text{s}) \\ - \frac{1}{2}(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(1.29\:\text{s})^2

\:\:\:\:=6.07\:\text{m}

In general, a (an)<br> metal will be more reactive than an alkaline earth metal in the same period.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Alkali metal

Explanation:

In general, an alkali metal will be more reactive than an alkaline earth metal in the same period.

What determines reactivity of metals?

The electropositivity of metals determines how reactive they are.

  • Electropositivity or metallicity is a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.
  • It is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of an element.
  • The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic it is
  • Also, the more reactive it will be because, it can lose electrons more readily.
  • Across a period from left to right, electropositivity decreases and from top to down a group, it increases.
  • Since alkali metals are more electropositive than alkali earth metals, they are more reactive and readily lose their only electron.
  • This is why the most reactive metal is francium found in the lower left corner on the periodic table.
  • For non-metals, electronegativity is the most important factor.

ANSWER 5 AND 8!!!!!;$$4$;$;
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

5 ) The mass, 6) with lubrication and using surfaces that are not rough

Explanation:

5) If two bodies are held regardless of their densities and can be combined by some chemical or physical process, the only physical property to be modified will be the mass of the resulting body.

8)

Friction depends on the contact between two surfaces and when a body has a relative motion with respect to a contact surface. In order to reduce friction the contact surface must be lubricated, also the friction depends on the coefficient of friction between surfaces and the normal force exerted by the surface parallel to the area of contact with the body. Mathematically it can be expressed with the following equation.

F_{f} = u*N\\where:\\u = friction coefficient\\N = normal force [Newtons]\\F_{f}= friction force [Newtons]
