The ice cubes were floating in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water is frozen, a structure that is crystalline is formed that is held by hydrogen bonding. Due to the orientation of these bonds, the moleules would push far away from each other causing it to have a bigger volume and a lower density.

What is black body radiation? Explain in detail.
tangare [24]

An object that absorbs all radiation falling on it, at all wavelengths, is called a black body. When a black body is at a uniform temperature, its emission has a characteristic frequency distribution that depends on the temperature. Its emission is called black-body radiation

devlian [24]

Answer:

The right answer is:

(a) 63.83 kg

(b) 0.725 m/s

Explanation:

The given query seems to be incomplete. Below is the attachment of the full question is attached.

The given values are:

T = 3 sec

k = 280 N/m

(a)

The mass of the string will be:

⇒ T=2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

or,

⇒ m=\frac{k T^2}{4 \pi^2}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒     =\frac{280\times (3)^2}{4 \pi^2}

⇒     =\frac{280\times 9}{4\times (3.14)^2}

⇒     =68.83 \ kg

(b)

The speed of the string will be:

⇒  \frac{1}{2}k(0.4)^2=\frac{1}{2}k(0.2)^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

then,

⇒             v=\sqrt{\frac{k((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{m} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280\times ((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{63.83} }

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280(0.16-0.04)}{63.83} }

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280\times 0.12}{63.83} }

⇒                =0.725 \ m/s

How many neutrons does element x have if it's atomic number is 27 and it's mass number is 74
Makovka662 [10]

Atomic number=Proton count

Atomic mass=Proton count+ neutron count

Neuton Count=Atomic mass-Proton count

Proton count=Atomic number=27

Mass number=74

Neuton count= 74-27=47
