A ball that is dropped will hit the ground at the same time as a ball that is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of 2
1 answer:
True: the time of flight of the two balls is the same
Explanation:
The ball that is dropped is in free fall, so its time of flight can be determined by using the suvat equation
where
is the vertical displacement, which is the height from which it was dropped
u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity
is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time of flight
Solving for t,
The ball thrown horizontally follows a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction
- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction
However, the time of flight is completely determined by the vertical motion only, therefore using the equation:
where u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the ball (which is zero, since it is thrown horizontally). Since the ball is thrown from the same height, its time of flight is still
So, the two balls reach the grund at the same time.

Answer:
a) What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody?
The total emitted energy per unit of time and per unit of area depends in its temperature (Stefan-Boltzmann law).
The peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (Wien’s displacement law).
The spectral density energy is related with the temperature and the wavelength (Planck’s law).
b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave length of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?
The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.
Explanation:
A blackbody is an ideal body that absorbs all the thermal radiation that hits its surface, thus becoming an excellent emitter, as these bodies express themselves without light radiation, and therefore they look black.
The radiation of a blackbody depends only on its temperature, thus being independent of its shape, material and internal constitution.
If it is study the behavior of the total energy emitted from a blackbody at different temperatures, it can be seen how as the temperature increases the energy will also increase, this energy emitted by the blackbody is known as spectral radiance and the result of the behavior described previously is Stefan's law:
(1)
Where is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature.
The Wien’s displacement law establish how the peak of emission of the spectrum will be displace to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (inversely proportional):
(2)
Planck’s law relate the temperature with the spectral energy density (shape) of the spectrum:
(3)
b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wavelength of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?
It is need it to known the temperature of both objects before doing the comparison. That can be done by means of the Wien’s displacement law.
Equation (2) can be rewrite in terms of T:
(4)
Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue:
Before replacing all the values in equation (4), (450 nm) will be express in meters:
⇒
Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red:
Following the same approach above:
⇒
Comparison:
The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.
