The heat energy transferred by the iron nail is 4680 J

Explanation:

The thermal energy transferred by a substance to another substance is given by the equation

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

\Delta T is its change in temperature

For the iron nail in this problem, we have:

m = 16 g

C=0.450 J/g^{\circ}C

\Delta T = -650^{\circ}C

So, the amount of heat energy given off by the nail is

Q=(16)(0.450)(-650)=-4680 J

where the negative sign indicates that the heat is given off.

. What is the single most important equation in all of physics?​
vivado [14]

Answer: F = ma,

Explanation:

the most famous equation in physics, establishing an equivalence between energy and mass. But is this the most important equation in physics? Knowledgeable scientists will tell you no. The most important equation in physics is F = ma, also known as Newton's second law of mechanics.

A fish inside the water 12cm below the surface looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horiz
serg [7]

Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6

A monochromatic light beam is incident on a barium target that has a work function of 2.50 \mathrm{eV} . If a potential differen
leva [86]

The wavelength of the light beam required to turn back all the ejected electrons is 497 nm which is option (b).

  • Work function is a material property defined as the minimum amount of energy  required to infinitely remove electrons from the surface of a particular solid.
  • The potential difference required to support all emitted electrons is called the stopping potential which is given by v_0=\frac{K.E_m_a_x}{e} .....(1)
  • where v_0 is the stopping potential and e is the charge of the electron given by 1.6\times10^-^1^9 .

It is given that work function (Ф) of monochromatic light is 2.50 eV.

Einstein photoelectric equation  is given by:

K.E_m_a_x=E-\phi      ....(2)

where K.E(max) is the maximum kinetic energy.

Substituting (1) into (2) , we get

  ev_0=E-\phi\\1.6\times10^{-19} \times1=E-2.50\\E=1.6\times10^{-19}+2.50\\E=2.50eV

As we know that E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}  ....(3)

where Speed of light,c = 3\times10^8 m/s and Planck's constant , h = 6.63\times 10^-^1^9Js = 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 eVs

From equation (3) , we get

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E} \\\\\lambda=\frac{  4.14\times 10^-^1^5 \times 3 \times10^8}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=\frac{1240\times10^-^9}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=496.8\times10^-^9\\\\\lambda=497nm

Bright white shadings on infrared images indicate cloud tops that have relatively ________ temperatures
Maru [420]
Infrared is created by detecting the produced radiation coming off of clouds. The temperature of the cloud will define the wavelength of radiation produced from the cloud. The benefit of the infrared imagery is that can be used day and night to conclude the temperature of the cloud tops and earth surface structures and to get the general idea of how clouds are. Based on the general guidelines to define cloud features, if the cloud is bright white on infrared then it is a high cloud or has a cloud top that is developed high into the troposphere. In this way infrared images actually display patterns of temperature on a gray scale such that at one extreme dark gray is warm and at the other extreme bright white is cold. A color scale is used to portray temperature and some improved infrared images show two or more gray scale sequences. High cold clouds are brighter white than low warm clouds.
