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 140 g air-track glider is attached to a spring. The glider is pushed in 8.2 cm against the spring, then released. A student wi
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The period of oscillation is given as

T=2π√m/k

Making k subject of the formula

Square both sides of the equation

T²=4π²(m/k)

Cross multiply

T²k=4π²m

Then, divide through by T²

k=4π²m/T²

Where

k is spring constant

m is the mass of the bob

And T is the period of the oscillation

m=140g=0.14kg

14 oscillations takes 14 seconds

Then the period is

T=time/oscillation

T=14/14

T=1sec

Then,

k=4π²m/T²

k=4π²×0.14/1²

k=1.76N/m

Then, the spring constant is 1.76N/m

A 25 kg rock falls for 2.7 seconds. How many meters tall was the building?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

35.7m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock  = 25kg

Time of fall  = 2.7s

Unknown:

Height of the building = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we will use one of the motion equations;

     S  = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt²

S is the height

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

t is the time

g is the acceleration due to gravity

      S = (0 x 2.7) +  \frac{1}{2} x 9.8 x 2.7²  = 35.7m

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement? "A ball hit by a man travels faster than one hit by a boy."
kifflom [539]

A ball hit by a man is stronger than a ball hit by a man because the man uses more force when hitting the ball than the boy does.

How did Archimedes measure the mass of the block of gold?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold  into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.
