The earth and the moon are attracted to each other by gravitational force. Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is

greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth? Why?

KengaRu [80]3 years ago

Answer:

Gravitational attraction is caused by the mass of an object. Since Earth is far more massive than the Moon, the gravitational force exerted on the Moon is far greater than that of the Moon on the Earth. An example of the difference: while the Moon causes tides on the Earth, the Earth has the Moon locked so that the same face (minus some wobbling) is always visible from the Earth

I really don’t know maybe energy from the poles just attaches and the soil comes and energy lifts the matter of soil and the magnet follows and lifts and goes up to the soil and the poles attach the magnet to the soil and the energy lifts the magnet and the soil follows and it is attracted to the magnet

Which part of the brain serves to regulate the endocrine system?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

hypothalamus

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is known as the master switchboard because it's the part of the brain that controls the endocrine system. The pituitary gland, which hangs by a thin stalk from the hypothalamus, is called the master gland of the body because it regulates the activity of the endocrine glands.

Which phenomenon occurs when the moon and Earth are aligned with the sun? A. Retrograde motion B. Solstice C. Equinox D. Eclipse
muminat

Answer: Eclipse

Explanation: A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon moves through the shadow of the Earth. This can only happen when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun and all three are lined up in the same plane, called the ecliptic. The ecliptic is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody? According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an objec
jasenka [17]

Answer:

a) What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody?

The total emitted energy per unit of time and per unit of area depends in its temperature (Stefan-Boltzmann law).

The peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (Wien’s displacement law).

The spectral density energy is related with the temperature and the wavelength (Planck’s law).

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave length of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

Explanation:

A blackbody is an ideal body that absorbs all the thermal radiation that hits its surface, thus becoming an excellent emitter, as these bodies express themselves without light radiation, and therefore they look black.

The radiation of a blackbody depends only on its temperature, thus being independent of its shape, material and internal constitution.

If it is study the behavior of the total energy emitted from a blackbody at different temperatures, it can be seen how as the temperature increases the energy will also increase, this energy emitted by the blackbody is known as spectral radiance and the result of the behavior described previously is Stefan's law:

E = \sigma T^{4}  (1)

Where \sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature.

The Wien’s displacement law establish how the peak of emission of the spectrum will be displace to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (inversely proportional):

\lambda max = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{T}   (2)

Planck’s law relate the temperature with the spectral energy density (shape) of the spectrum:

E_{\lambda} = {{8 \pi h c}\over{{\lambda}^5}{(e^{({hc}/{\lambda \kappa T})}-1)}}}  (3)

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wavelength of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

It is need it to known the temperature of both objects before doing the comparison. That can be done by means of the Wien’s displacement law.

Equation (2) can be rewrite in terms of T:

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}   (4)

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue:

Before replacing all the values in equation (4), \lambda max (450 nm) will be express in meters:

450 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}  ⇒ 4.5x10^{-7}m

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{4.5x10^{-7}m}

T = 6440 K

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red:

Following the same approach above:

700 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}  ⇒ 7x10^{-7}m

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{7x10^{-7}m}

T = 4140 K

Comparison:

\frac{6440 K}{4140 K} = 1.55

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.
