An astronomer is measuring the electromagnetic radiation emitted by two stars, both of which are assumed to be perfect blackbody

emitters. For each star she makes a plot of the radiation intensity per unit wavelength as a function of wavelength. She notices that the curve for star A has a maximum that occurs at a shorter wavelength than does the curve for star B. What can she conclude about the surface temperatures of the two stars?
a. Star A has the greater surface temperature.
b. There is not enough information to draw a conclusion about the temperatures.
c. Star B has the greater surface temperature.
d. Both stars, being perfect blackbody emitters, have the same surface temperature.

A football punter wants to kick the ball so that it is in the air for 4.2 s and lands 55 m from where it was kicked. Assume that
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

57.24^{\circ}

24.21 m/s

Explanation:

x = Displacement in x direction = 55 m

y = Displacement in x direction = 0

y_0 = Height of the ball when the ball is kicked = 1 m

t = Time taken = 4.2 s

a_y=g = Acceleration due to gravity = -9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

u = Initial velocity of ball

Displacement in x direction is given by

x=u_xt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\\Rightarrow 55=4.2u_x+0\\\Rightarrow u_x=\dfrac{55}{4.2}\\\Rightarrow u\cos\theta=13.1\ \text{m/s}\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{13.1}{\cos\theta}

Displacement in y direction is given by

y=y_0+u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 0=1+4.2u\sin\theta+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-9.81)\times 4.2^2\\\Rightarrow 0=4.2u\sin\theta-85.5242\\\Rightarrow u\sin\theta=20.36\ \text{m/s}\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{20.36}{\sin\theta}

\dfrac{13.1}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac{20.36}{\sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{20.36}{13.1}=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{20.36}{13.1}\\\Rightarrow \theta=57.24^{\circ}

The ball should be kicked at an angle of 57.24^{\circ}

u=\dfrac{13.1}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac{13.1}{\cos57.24^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow u=24.21\ \text{m/s}

The initial speed of the ball is 24.21 m/s.

What is the latent heat of vaporization for water
natulia [17]

When a material in liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor; the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization of water is about 2,260 kJ/kg, which is equal to 40.8 kJ/mol. The vaporization is the opposite process of condensation.

hope this helped <3

What physical property of light changes and causes the light to refract, or bend?
Tcecarenko [31]
I think it would be by the change in speed
For example if light travels from air to water it will slow down causing it to travel at a different angle/direction
