Answer:

1.7 J

Explanation:

The energy carried by a single photon is given by

E=hf

where h is the Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon.

The photon of our exercise has a frequency of f=1.7 \cdot 10^{17} Hz, therefore its energy is

E=hf=(6.63 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(1.7 \cdot 10^{17} Hz)=1.1 \cdot 10^{-16} J

The emissivity of an ideal reflector has which of the following values?

Wittaler [7]

Emissivityis a measure of how much thermal radiation a body emits to its environment. On the other hand we have that reflectivity is a measure of how much is reflected, and transmissivity is a measure of how much passes through the object. If a body is required to be ideally reflective to its maximum efficiency, the body should NOT have the property of transmissivity or emissivity. Therefore it should be 0 its emittivity.

Correct answer would be A : ZERO.

a 1.2x10^3 kilogram car is accelerated uniformly from 10. meters per second to 20 meters per second in 5.0 seconds. what is the

irinina [24]

Force , F = ma

F = m(v - u)/t

Where m = mass in kg, v= final velocity in m/s, u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time, Force is in Newton.

m= 1.2*10³ kg, u = 10 m/s, v = 20 m/s, t = 5s

F = 1.2*10³(20 - 10)/5

F = 2.4*10³ N = 2400 N

An electric furnace runs 13 hours a day to heat a house during January (31 days). The heating element has a resistance of 7.2 an

liq [111]

Answer:

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

Explanation:

given data

runs a day = 13 hours

January days = 31 days

resistance = 7.2 ohm

current = 16.7 A

cost of electricity = $0.10/kWh

to find out

cost of running the furnace during January

solution

first we get her power consumed by furnace that is

Power consumed = $\frac{I^2}{R}$ ........1

put here value we get

Power consumed = $\frac{16.7^2}{7.2}$

Power consumed = 38.7347 W

and

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = Power consumed × 3600

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = 38.7347 × 3600

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is 139.445kWh

and

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January is

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 139.445kWh × 13 hours × 31 days

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 56196.335 kWh

cost of running the furnace during January is = $0.10/kWh × 56196.335 kWh

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

A spy satellite uses a telescope with a 1.7-m-diameter mirror. It orbits the earth at a height of 180 km.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m

height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m

wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m

Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;

sin∅= 1.22 λ / d

sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7

sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷

we know that;

sin∅ = object separation / distance from telescope

object separation = sin∅ × distance from telescope

object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷ × 180 × 10³

object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m

then we convert to centimeter

object separation = 6.45 cm

Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

A force vector F1 points due east and has a magnitude of 200N. A second force F2 is added to F1. The resultant of the two vector

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The second vector $\vec{F_2}$ points due West with a magnitude of 600N

Explanation:

The original vector $\vec{F_1}$ points with a magnitude of 200N due east, the Resultant vector $\vec{R}$ points due west (that's how east/west direction can be interpreted, from east to west) with a magnitude of 400N. If we choose East as the positive direction and West as the negative one, we can write the following vectorial equation:

$\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}\implies\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}-\vec{F_1}=-400N-200N=-600N$

With the negative sign signifying that the vector points west.
