Answer:

due to the effect of gravity begins thermonuclear fusion processes, in these processes energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

The Sun is a star of great size, which due to the effect of gravity begins thermonuclear fusion processes, in these processes energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

This radiation crosses the different layers of the Sun and escapes from it in the form of light that is emitted throughout the radiation spectrum, due to the temperature reached by the Sun about 5500K the most likely radiation is around 5500 nm corresponding to the green- yellow of the visible spectrum, but the entire spectrum is emitted with different intensity according to Stefan's law

In quantum mechanics this spectrum can also be analyzed as the emission of particles called photons, where each one is characterized by an energy and has a moment equal to zero, the energy of these photons is related to their frequency by the Planck equation

The distance between a speaker and a listener is 8.0 m. Determine the frequency of the sound wave if exactly 20 waves are formed

dmitriy555 [2]

The frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Wave number, n = 20

Speed of light, v = 340 m/s

Frequency, f = ?

we know:

wave number = $\frac{frequency}{speed of light}$

$20 = \frac{f}{340 m/s} \\\\f = 20 X 340 s^-^1\\\\f = 6800 Hz$

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

Answer:

Alarm Clock. The buzzing sound of an alarm clock helps you wake up in the morning as per your schedule. The sound is something that you can’t see, but hear or experience.
Cell Phones Cellphones have become like Oxygen gas in modern social life. Hardly, anyone would have been untouched by the effects of a cell phone. Whether conveying any urgent message or doing incessant gossips, cellphones are everywhere. But do you know how does a cell phone work? It works on the principle of electricity and the electromagnetic spectrum, undulating patterns of electricity and magnetism.
Walking.Now, when you get ready for your office/school, whatever medium of commutation is, you certainly have to walk up to a certain distance. You can easily walk is just because of Physics. While you have a walk in a park or on a tar road, you have a good grip without slipping because of a sort of roughness or resistance between the soles of your shoes and the surface of the road.

Explanation:

physical is related to things perceived through the senses as opposed to the mind; tangible or concrete.

A propeller is modeled as five identical uniform rods extending radially from its axis. The length and mass of each rod are 0.77

Vikki [24]

The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is

$KE_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}(number \ of\ propellers)( I)( omega)^{2}$

where I is the moment of inertia. This is just mass times the square of the perpendicular distance to the axis of rotation. In other words, the radius of the propeller or this is equivalent to the length of the rod. ω is the angular velocity. We determine I and ω first.

$I=m L^{2}=(2.67 \ kg) (0.777 \ m)^{2} =2.07459 \ kgm^{2}$

ω = 573 rev/min * (2π rad/rev) * (1 min/60 s) = 60 rad/s

Then,

$KE_{rot} =( \frac{1}{2} )(5)(2.07459 \ kgm^{2}) (60\ rad/s)^{2}$

$KE_{rot} =18,671.31 \ J$
