<span>The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to the heating of the resistance in the filament of the light bulb. In fact, the power dissipated in a resistor is given by
</span> $P=I^2 R$
<span>where I is the current and R the resistance. The larger the resistance or the current in the resistor, the larger the power dissipated. Due to this dissipation of power, the temperature of the filament becomes very high, and the resistance becomes incandescent, emitting light.</span>

Name the two spectral windows through which electromagnetic radiation easily reaches the surface of earth and describe the large

Anestetic [448]

Answer: • Visible Light, Radio Waves

• Radio - 305-m , at Arecibo, Puerto Rico

Visible Light - 10.4m Mirror, Canary Island

Explanation:

The spectral window is simply the range of frequencies that are correctly measured. It should be noted that the signals that are outside the spectral window are folded when they show up in spectrum.

The two spectral windows through which electromagnetic radiation easily reaches the surface of earth are the visible light and the radio waves.

A projectile is fired vertically from Earth's surface with

scoray [572]

Answer:

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

Explanation:

Initial speed, v = 10 x 10^3 m/s

Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

Maximum from the surface of earth, h = ?

Let m = Mass of the projectile

Solution:

Potential energy at maximum height = ( Potential + Kinetic energy ) at the surface

$-G M m / ( R + h )=- G M m / R + (1/2) m v^2$

$- G M / ( R + h ) = - G M / R + (1/2) v^2$

$-2\times G M / ( R + h ) = ( - 2 G M / R ) + v^2$

$-2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}/ ( R + h )$

= $( (- 2\times 6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}) /(6.4\times10^6)} +10000^2$

= $-2.50625\times10^7 J$

$=- 8\times10^{14} / ( R + h )=-2.50625\times 10^7$

$R+h=31.92\times10^{6}$

$h=31.92\times10^{6}-6.4\times10^6$

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

c) 2.02 x 10^16 nuclei

Explanation:

The isotope decay of an atom follows the equation:

ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is the amount of the isotope after time t, k is decay constant, [A]₀ is the initial amount of the isotope</em>

[A] = Our incognite

k is constant decay:

k = ln 2 / Half-life

k = ln 2 / 4.96 x 10^3 s

k = 1.40x10⁻⁴s⁻¹

t is time = 1.98 x 10^4 s

[A]₀ = 3.21 x 10^17 nuclei

ln[A] = -1.40x10⁻⁴s⁻¹*1.98 x 10^4 s + ln[3.21 x 10^17 nuclei]

ln[A] = 37.538

[A] = 2.01x10¹⁶ nuclei remain ≈

<h3>c) 2.02 x 10^16 nuclei</h3>

What is angular velocity

butalik [34]

Answer:

angular velocity(ω) is the rate change of angular displacement.

ω=θ/t and it SI unit is rad/s

Explanation:

this is very similar with the definition of linear velocity (rate of change of displacement). it specifies the angular speed of an object and the axis about which the object is rotating.
