If you quadruple the temperature of a black body, by what factor will the total energy radiated per second per square meter incr
arlik [135]

<u>In modern physics</u>, as it was called "Stefan-Boltzmann law", the total energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body is directly proportional to the fourth power of the black body's temperature T

as:

P\alpha T^4

where: P is the power (total energy radiated per second per square meter) and T is the temperature of a black body.

then we can make a ratio between the state of before quadruple (with subscript 1) and after (with subscript 2) as:

\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =\frac{T_{1}^4 }{T_{2}^4}

As

T_{2}=4T_{1}

Then

\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =\frac{T_{1}^4 }{(4T_{1})^4}

then

P_{2}=256*P_{1}

  • The factor will the total energy radiated per second per square meter increase = 256

Study the scenario.
Otrada [13]

If no other forces act on the object, according to Newton’s first law, the spacecraft will continue moving at a constant velocity, assuming that a planet or something with large mass doesn’t cross its path. Forces are not required to continue the motion of an object on a frictionless plane at a constant rate.

Explain how a star's absorption spectrum and the concept of red shift help support the Big Bang Theory.
marta [7]

Answer:

Red shift supports the big bang theory. ... The light from distant galaxies is red shifted (this tells us the galaxies are moving away from us) and the further away the galaxy the greater the red shift (this tells us that the more distant the galaxy the faster it is moving). Constellations look like they are moving because earth is rotating on it's axis.

A car travels along a highway with a velocity of 24 m/s, west. The car exits the highway; and 4.0 s later, its instantaneous vel
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4.25 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Change in velocity considering the x component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_x= 16cos 45^{\circ}-24=-12.6862915 m/s

Change in velocity considering the y component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_y= 16sin 45^{\circ}-0=11.3137085 m/s

Resultant change in velocity=\sqrt {(-12.6862915 m/s)^{2}+(11.3137085 m/s)^{2}}=16.9982938 m/s

Acceleration= change in velocity per unit time hence

a= \frac {16.9982938}{4}=4.24957345\approx 4.25 m/s^{2}
