Answer:

a. a peak intensity located at shorter wavelength

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using Wien's displacement law, which relates the temperature of a black body to the peak wavelength of the spectrum of its emitted radiation, as follows:

\lambda_p T = b

where:

\lambda_p is the wavelength of the peak of its spectrum

T is the absolute temperature at the surface of the body

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

From the equation above, we see that the peak wavelength and the temperature have an inverse relationship. In fact, we can rewrite it as

\lambda_p = \frac{b}{T}

By looking at the equation in this form, we can see that the higher the temperature of the object, the shorter the wavelength of its peak: therefore, the correct answer is

a. a peak intensity located at shorter wavelength

Test Due! Which statement is true?

The correct answer is C. Mercury and Mars have the same gravitational force

Explanation:

This chart compares the different features of two planets in our solar system (Mercury and Mars). In this chart, the only numerical value or feature that is the same for both planets is gravity because for both planets gravity is 1.7 m/s2. This implies the gravitational force or the force that attracts objects towards the center of the planet is the same or that objects are pulled with the same force in both planets. Moreover, this factor depends on others such as mass, density, among others.

Find equation tangent to a circle at given point
vlabodo [156]

the equation of the tangent line must be passed on a point A (a,b) and perpendicular to the radius of the circle. <span>
I will take an example for a clear explanation:
let x² + y² = 4 is the equation of the circle, its center is C(0,0). And we assume that the tangent line passes to the point A(2.3).

</span>since the tangent passes to the A(2,3), the line must be perpendicular to the radius of the circle. 

<span>Let's find the equation of the line parallel to the radius.</span>

<span>The line passes to the A(2,3) and C (0,0). y= ax+b is the standard form of the equation. AC(-2, -3) is a vector parallel to CM(x, y).</span>

det(AC, CM)= -2y +3x =0, is the equation of the line // to the radius.

let's find the equation of the line perpendicular to this previous line.

let M a point which lies on the line. so MA.AC=0 (scalar product), 

it is (2-x, 3-y) . (-2, -3)= -4+4x + -9+3y=4x +3y -13=0 is the equation of tangent

4.0 kg objects mive a distance of 7.8 m under the action of a cinstant gorce of 5.6 N. how much work is dine on object?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

43.68 J

Explanation:

Distance moved= 7.8 m

Force = 5.6 N

Work Done= Distance moved * Force

                   = 7.8 *5.6

                      =43.68 Joules
