Answer:

option (B) decreases

Explanation:

According to the Wein's displacement law, the minimum wavelength of the radiated emission is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the body which emits radiation.

$\lambda_{m}\alpha \frac{1}{T}$

Where, T is the absolute temperature of the body and λm is the minimum wavelength of heat radiated.

Here, as the temperature increases, the wavelength decreases.

Because of interstellar dust, astronomers can see at most about 5 kpc into the disk of the galaxy at visual wavelengths. What pe

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

96%

Explanation

Let A the total area of the galaxy, is modeled as a disc:

A = πR^2 = π (25 kpc)^2

And let a be the area that astronomers are able to see:

a = πr^2 = π(5 kpc)^2

The percentage that can be seen is equal to 100 times the ratio of the areas, of the galaxy and the "visible" part:

P = 100 a/A = (5/25)^2 = 100/25 = 4%

Therefore, the percentage of the galaxy not included, i.e. not seen is:

(100-4)% = 96%

An astronaut exploring a distant solar system lands on an unnamed planet with a radius of 2530 km. When the astronaut jumps upwa

Natali [406]

Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}$

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

$F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2$

so:

$m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg$

An instructor gives a demonstration in which he makes a standing wave on a long thin slinky. The slinky is 6.0 meters long. If y

Naily [24]

The characteristics of standing waves allows to find the result for the speed of the wave is:

The speed wave is: v = 10 m / s

The wave is a way of transmitting energy without mass displacement, , in the attachment we can see a diagram of the standing wave.

Each cycle corresponds to half a wavelength, they indicate that the frequency is 2.50 Hz and there are three cycles, so the wavelength is:

L = $n \frac{\lambda}{2}$

λ = 2L/n

λ = 2 6 /3

λ = 4 m

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency

v = λ f

v = 4 2.5

v = 10 m / s

In conclusion, using the characteristics of standing waves we can find the result for the speed of the wave is:

The wave speed is: v = 10 m / s
