Answer:

(2) Color

Explanation:

The color--the wavelength of the visible waves emitted by a star-- is tied to the star's temperature. In general, the hotter the surface the shorter the emitted wavelengths (and the stronger will the blue component be represented in the visible band), and the cooler the surface the longer the wavelength (with a shift toward the red end of the visible band).

Korolek [52]

Answer:

4.6834625323 m/s

0 m/s

Explanation:

s = Displacement

t = Time

Velocity is given by

$v=\dfrac{s}{t}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{5220000}{12.9\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow v=4.6834625323\ m/s$

The bird's average velocity for the return flight is 4.6834625323 m/s

In the whole episode the bird went 5220 km away from its nest and came back. This means the displacement is zero.

Hence, the average velocity for the whole episode is 0 m/s

An aircraft has a liftoff speed of 33 m/s. What is the minimum constant acceleration an

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: The minimum acceleration for the air plane is 2.269m/s2.

Explanation: To solve such problem the equation of motion are applicable.

The initial velocity is 0 since the airplane was initially standing. We are going to use this equation

V^2=U^2+2as

33^2=0+2a (240)

a= 2.269m/s2

Lasers are now used in eye surgery. Given the wavelength of a certain laser is 514 nm and the power of the laser is 1.1 W, how m

Leno4ka [110]

Answer: $1.593*10^{17} photons$ released if the laser is used 0.056 s during the surgery

Explanation:

First, you have to calculate the energy of each photon according to Einstein's theoty, given by:

$E =\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength, $h$ is the Planck's constant and $h$ is the speed of light

$h = 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}$ -> Planck's constant

$c = 3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}$ -> Speed of light

So, replacing in the equation:

$E =\frac{ 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}*3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}}{514*10^-9 m}$

Then, the energy of each released photon by the laser is:

$E = 3.867*10^{-19} \frac{J}{photons}$

After, you do the inverse of the energy per phothon and as a result, you will have the number of photons in a Joule of energy:

$\frac{1}{3.867*10^{-19}} = 2.586*10^{18} \frac{photons}{J}$

The power of the laser is 1.1 W, or 1.1 J/s, that means that you can calculate how many photons the laser realease every second:

$2.586*10^{18}\frac{photons}{J} * 1.1 \frac{J}{s} = 2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s}$

And by doing a simple rule of three, if $2.844*10^{18} photons$ are released every second, then in 0.056 s:

$0.056 s*2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s} = 1.593*10^{17} photons$ are released during the surgery

Explanation:

vf = vi + at

0 = 20 + (a)(10)

a = -2.0 m/s^2

F = ma

2000 = (m)(2)

m = 1000 kg
