Make a rough estimate of the number of quanta emitted in one second by a 100 W light bulb. Assume that the typical wavelength em

itted is λ = 1000 nm. (Note: this wavelength is in the infrared; incandescent bulbs are inefficient since they emit mostly in the infrared and only little bit in the visible range.)

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

         E = h f

         c= λ f

         E = h c / λ

          λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

          E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

                #_photon = P / E₀

               #_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

              #_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

A skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter. A few seconds later, another diver jumps out, so they both fall along the same ve
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

distance difference would a) increase

speed difference would f) stay the same

Explanation:

Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.

Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are

s_2 = gt^2/2

s_1 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2

v_2 = gt

v_1 = g(t + \Delta t)

Their difference in distance are therefore:

\Delta s = s_1 - s_2 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2 - gt^2/2

\Delta s = g/2((t + \Delta t)^2 - t^2)

\Delta s = g/2(t + \Delta t - t)(t + \Delta t + t) (AsA^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)

\Delta s = g\Delta t/2(2t + \Delta t)

So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.

Similarly for their velocity difference

\Delta v = v_1 - v_2 = g(t + \Delta t) - gt

\Delta v = gt + g\Delta t - gt = g\Delta t

Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.

This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.

Running a lawn mower with gasoline converts____
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

I'm going to say b. gasoline is a chemical and when it combusts, it causes heat (thermal energy) and when the piston rotates because of the thermal expansion, you get mechanical force.
