What is the average total energy density in electromagnetic radiation that has an intensity of 475 W/m^2?

Physics
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1.6 x 10⁻⁶ J/m³

Explanation:

I = Intensity of electromagnetic radiation = 475 Wm⁻²

U = average total energy density of electromagnetic radiation

c = speed of electromagnetic radiation = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given as

I = Uc

Inserting the values

475 = U (3\times 10^{8})

U = 1.6 x 10⁻⁶ J/m³

Acid mine drainage is:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.

A pressure that will support a column of Hg to a height of 256 mm would support a column of water to what height? The density of
Paul [167]

Answer:

<em>The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm</em>

Explanation:

<em>Pressure:</em><em>This is defined as the ratio of the force acting normally ( perpendicular) to the area of surface in contact. The S.I unit of  pressure is N/m²</em>

<em>p = Dgh............... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where p = pressure, D = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.</em>

<em>From the question, the same pressure will support the column of mercury and water.</em>

<em>p₁ = p₂</em>

<em>Where p₁ = pressure of mercury, p₂ = pressure of water</em>

D₁gh₁ = D₂gh₂.................. Equation 2

making h₂ the subject of equation 2

h₂ = D₁gh/D₂g............... Equation 3

Where D₁ and D₂ = Density of mercury and water respectively, h₁ and h₂ = height of mercury and water respectively

Given: D₁ = 13.6 g/cm³, D₂ = 1.00 g/cm³, h₁ = 256 mm = 25.6 cm.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into Equation 3,

h₂ = (13.6×9.8×25.6)/1×9.8

<em>h₂ = 348.14 cm</em>

<em>The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm</em>

(a) An object that has a small mass and an object that has a large mass have the same momentum. Which object has the largest kin
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

A) The smaller object; B) The larger object

Explanation:

A) Lets say the small object is 2 kg and the large one is 6 kg. Lets say they also have 30 kg*m/s of momentum each. The small object would have 15 m/s velocity and the large would have 5 m/s.

Now for kinetic energy(.5*m*v²), the small object is .5*2*15², which is 225 J

The large object is .5*6*5², which is 75 J, so the smaller object has more Kinetic energy. Since velocity is squared, it is more important than how large mass is.

B) Same masses as part A. Lets say the kinetic energy is 45 J for both of them. For the small object, 45=.5*2*v²

.5*2 is 1, so 45/1 is 45. Take the square root and we get v= 6.71 m/s

For the large object, 45=.5*6*v²

.5*6 is 3, so 45/3 is 15. Take the square root and we get v=3.87 m/s

Now we plug the velocities into p=mv

For the small object, p=2*6.71, which gives us p=13.42 kg*m/s

For the large object, p=6*3.87, which gives us p=23.22 kg*m/s

The larger object has the larger momentum.

Hope this helps
