What is the temperature of a star (in Kelvin) if its peak wavelength is 150 nm (that is, 150 x 10^-9 m)?

Physics

liq [111]3 years ago

Answer:

19320 K

Explanation:

The temperature of a star is related to its peak wavelength by Wien's displacement law:

T=\frac{b}{\lambda}

where

T is the absolute temperature at the star's surface

b=2.898 \cdot 10^{-3}m\cdot K is Wien's displacement constant

\lambda is the peak wavelength

Here we have

\lambda=150 nm = 150\cdot 10^{-9}nm

Substituting into the equation, we find

T=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3}}{150\cdot 10^{-9}}=19320 K

A kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward what is the distance and magnitu
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Distance = 64 metres

Displacement = 28 metres

Direction = northward

Explanation:

Given that a  kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward

Distance covered is only about the magnitude of the length covered.

Distance = 22 + 18 + 24 = 64 metres

The direction will be considered when calculating the displacement

Let northward be positive and southward be negative

Displacement = 22 - 18 + 24 = 28 metres

Since the displacement is positive, the direction of the motion is northward.

A car hits another and the two bumpers lock together during the collision. is this an elastic or inelastic collision?
valkas [14]
Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.

1. Two blocks travel along a level frictionless surface. Block A is initially moving to the right at 5.0 m/s, while block B is i
ad-work [718]

Answer: 2.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of block A  is m_a=2\ kg

mass of block B is m_b=3\ kg

The initial velocity of block A u_a=5\ m/s

the initial velocity of block B is u_b=0

After collision velocity of block A is v_a=1\ m/s

Conserving momentum

m_au_a+m_bu_b=m_av_a+m_bv_b\\\\2\times 5+3\times0=2\times 1+3\times v_b\\\\v_b=\dfrac{8}{3}=2.67\ m/s

The momentum of block A after the collision is P_a=2\times 1=2\ kg.m/s

Therefore, there is no change in sign.

Type the correct answer in the box. use numerals instead of words. anne has a sample of a substance. its volume is 20 cm3, and i
CaHeK987 [17]

The density of sample is 5 g/cm3

Given:

volume of sample = 20 cm3

mass of sample = 100 grams

To Find:

density of sample

Solution: Density is the measure of how much “stuff” is in a given amount of space. For example, a block of the heavier element lead (Pb) will be denser than the softer, lighter element gold (Au). A block of Styrofoam is less dense than a brick. It is defined as mass per unit volume

density = mass/volume

d = 100/20

d = 5 g/cm3

So, density of sample is 5 g/cm3
