Answer:

The  value is  h  = 11930 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  temperature is  T  =  300 \  K

     

Generally the root mean square speed of the  oxygen molecules is mathematically represented as

        v  =  \sqrt{\frac{3 *  R  *  T }{M} }  =  \sqrt{ 2 *  g  *  h }

Here  R is the gas constant with a value  R  =  8.314 \  J\cdot K^{-1} \cdot \  mol^{-1}

    M  is the molar mass of oxygen molecule with value M  =  0.032 \  kg /mol

So  

     \frac{3 *  8.314   *  300 }{0.032}   =  2 *  9.8  *  h

=>    h  = 11930 \ m

C. This is the idea of "black body radiation". Charcoal/carbon is a "perfect black body". Absorbs all radiation. There's a whole host of stuff about this in physics, including, I think, Planck's (Nobel Prize winner) black body radiation theory.

A 70.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 2.00 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 29 m, and then
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

t = 12.82s

Explanation:

F = m×a

  = (70)×(2)

  = 140 N

during the acceleration, the sprinter cover d = 29 m with time:

d = 1/2×at

29 = 1/2×(2)×t^2

t^2 = 29s

t = 5.39s

and attains the velocity of:

v = a×t

  = 2×5.39

  = 10.77 m/s

Then,to cover the last x = 80 m with a speed of 10.77 m/s in time:

t = x/v

 = 80/10.77

 = 7.43s

Therefore, it will take the sprinter 7.43 + 5.39 = 12.82s

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.4
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Explanation:

From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t  (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)

Now for constructive interference;

Δx= (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

replacing ;

Δx = 2t   ; we have:

2t = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

Given that thickness t = 700 nm

Then

2× 700 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     --- equation (1)

For thickness t = 980 nm that is next to constructive interference

2× 980 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     ----- equation (2)

Equating the difference of equation (2) and equation (1); we have:'

λ = (2 × 980) - ( 2× 700 )

λ = 1960 - 1400

λ = 560 nm

Thus;  the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

b)  

For the smallest thickness t_{min} ; \ \ \ m =0

∴ 2t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{2}

t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{4}

t_{min} =\frac{560}{4}

t_{min} =140 \ \  nm

Thus, the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm
