Lucas plugs a lamp into the wall. The light bulb in the lamp turns on. What kind of energy transformation is this

2 answers:

7 0

A light bulb converts electric energy into heat and light energy, but it is different when you are using solar energy.Not that different though, the solar energy turns into electric energy that converts into heat and light energy.

A weather balloon is filled to a volume of 6000 L while it is on the ground, at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 273 K.

avanturin [10]

Answer : The final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L

Solution :

Using combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 1 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 0.3 atm

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 6000 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = 273 K

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = 240 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

$\frac{1atm\times 6000L}{273K}=\frac{0.3atm\times V_2}{240K}$

$V_2=17582.4L$

Therefore, the final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L

(a) The Sun orbits the Milky Way galaxy once each 2.60 x 108y , with a roughly circular orbit averaging 3.00 x 104 light years i

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Part a)

$a_c = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} m/s^2$

Part b)

$v = 2.18 \times 10^5 m/s$

Explanation:

Time period of sun is given as

$T = 2.60 \times 10^8 years$

$T = 2.60 \times 10^8 (365 \times 24 \times 3600) s$

$T = 8.2 \times 10^{15} s$

Now the radius of the orbit of sun is given as

$R = 3.00 \times 10^4 Ly$

$R = 3.00 \times 10^4 (3\times 10^8)(365 \times 24 \times 3600)m$

$R = 2.84 \times 10^20 m$

Part a)

centripetal acceleration is given as

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

$a_c = \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2} R$

$a_c = \frac{4\pi^2}{(8.2\times 10^{15})^2}(2.84 \times 10^{20})$

$a_c = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} m/s^2$

Part b)

orbital speed is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}$

$v = \frac{2\pi (2.84 \times 10^{20})}{8.2 \times 10^{15}}$

$v = 2.18 \times 10^5 m/s$

Which is not a way to accelerate an object?

GREYUIT [131]

<span>Slowing an object down is not a means of accelerating it. It actually decelerates the motion of an object. Speeding it up, changing its direction and applying balanced forces accelerate an object. In order for an object to accelerate, a force must be applied. It follows Newton’s second law of motion where it states that a body at rest remains at rest unless a force is acted upon it. When you move an object, you are exerting a force onto it. By exerting a force on the object, you are actually displacing it from its initial position. You cannot apply force to the object without altering its position. Keep in mind that when you exert work, you are exerting energy too. </span>

In which wavelength region(s) would we need to carry out observations in order to study the accretion disk around a white dwarf

Inga [223]

In “Ultraviolet light” and “X-ray” light wavelength regions are needed to carry out observations to study the “accretion disk” around “a white dwarf” in a “binary system”.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Occurrence of an accretion disk is due to presence of diffuse material around a white dwarf in orbital motion. White dwarf is constituted from electron-degenerate matter therefore also called as degenerate dwarf in binary system. Frictional forces and gravitational forces are responsible to compress and high “temperature” of the material, results with emission of “electromagnetic radiation”. “Accretion disks” of white dwarf radiate in the UV-rays and X-rays wavelength region of spectrum.
