Answer:

g=16.28m/s^2

Explanation:

The gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth is

g_{e}=\frac{Gm_{e}}{R_{e}^2}

where G is the universal gravitational constant, m_{e} is the mass of earth, and R_{e} is the radius of earth,

in general for any object the gravitational acceleration or gravity on its surface is:

g=\frac{Gm}{R^{2}}

in this case we know that the mass is 1.66 times the mass of earth:

m=1.66*m_{e}

and the radius is the same as for earth:

R=R_{e}

so the gravity for this planet is

g=\frac{G(1.66m_{e})}{R_{e}^2}

which can be written in the following form:

g=(1.66)\frac{Gm_{e}}{R_{e}^2}

where we know that g_{e}=\frac{Gm_{e}}{R_{e}^2} , so:

g=(1.66)g_{e}

and the acceleration of gravity on earth is: g_{e}=9.81m/s^2

so the acceleration or gravity on the planet is:

g=(1.66)(9.81m/s^2)\\g=16.28m/s^2

Answer: 16.22 m/s^2

Explanation: g= GM/r^2 G= (6.67x 10^-11) M= 1.66(6x 10^24) r=(6400x 10^3) so

((6.67x10^-11)(1.66x 6x 10^24))/ (6400x10^3)^2 = 16.22 m/s^2

Explain why the wave model of light cannot explain the energy emissions from a blackbody
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

As the temperature decreases, the peak of the black-body radiation curve moves to lower intensities and longer wavelengths. The black-body radiation graph is also compared with the classical model of Rayleigh and Jeans.

So as you see the wavelengths are in the x axis so all wavelengths are covered.

Black-body radiation provides insight into the thermodynamic equilibrium state of cavity radiation. If each Fourier mode of the equilibrium radiation in an otherwise empty cavity with perfectly reflective walls is considered as a degree of freedom capable of exchanging energy, then, according to the equipartition theorem of classical physics, there would be an equal amount of energy in each mode. Since there are an infinite number of modes this implies infinite heat capacity (infinite energy at any non-zero temperature), as well as an unphysical spectrum of emitted radiation that grows without bound with increasing frequency, a problem known as the ultraviolet catastrophe. Instead, in quantum theory the occupation numbers of the modes are quantized, cutting off the spectrum at high frequency in agreement with experimental observation and resolving the catastrophe. The study of the laws of black bodies and the failure of classical physics to describe them helped establish the foundations of quantum mechanics.

The above explains why the classical assumptions lead to a wrong spectrum.

A wave propagates at a well defined velocity that depends on the properties of the medium that carries the wave. True or false?
likoan [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A wave is generated as a result of oscillations which creates disturbances in the medium and these disturbances termed as waves propagates or travels from one point to another.

Waves can be classifies as:

Mechanical waves which requires material medium for their propagation

Electromagnetic waves which do not require any material medium to propagate.

A wave travels at a specific velocity depending on the type of the medium in which it propagates.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

b

c

e

h

Explanation:

Note that the swing direction was not giving in the question and direction could be sideways (in a turn) or in a track or both

The question show something in common ...acceleration

So let's look at the statements and pick the correct ones

a is false while b is correct as the train is accelerating

c is correct. The train is accelerating even thou the speed could not be ascertained

d is false and not feasible as the train is accelerating

e is true as the train maybe moving at a constant speed in a circle

f is false. This could be constant velocity in a circle. Same as g (false)

h is true. It's accelerating

how fast will and in what direction will a 20kg object accelerate if one force pushes at a 30 degree angle and another pushes at
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

|a|=2.83\ m/s^2

\theta=75^o

Explanation:

<u>Net Force And Acceleration </u>

The Newton's second law relates the net force applied on an object of mass m and the acceleration it aquires by

\vec F_n=m\vec a

The net force is the vector sum of all forces. In this problem, we are not given the magnitude of each force, only their angles. For the sake of solving the problem and giving a good guide on how to proceed with similar problems, we'll assume both forces have equal magnitudes of F=40 N

The components of the first force are

\vec F_1=

\vec F_1=\ N

The components of the second force are

\vec F_2=

\vec F_2=\ N

The net force is

\vec F_n=

\vec F_n=\ N

The magnitude of the net force is

|F_n|=\sqrt{14.64^2+54.64^2}

|F_n|=\sqrt{3200}=56.57\ N

The acceleration has a magnitude of

\displaystyle |a|=\frac{|F_n|}{m}

\displaystyle |a|=\frac{56.57}{20}

|a|=2.83\ m/s^2

The direction of the acceleration is the same as the net force:

\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{54.64}{14.64}

\theta=75^o
