Answer:

your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane

Explanation:

Technically, because gravity is weaker the farther you are from a gravitational source, your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane. It would change even more if you're in space or on a planet with a different mass than Earth.

(a) A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s2 . How long does it take to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h,

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

(a) Time t = 16.46 sec

(b) Time t =13.466 sec

Explanation:

(a) As the train starts from rest its initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration $a=1.35m/sec^2$

Final speed v = 80 km/hr

$80km/hr=\frac{80\times 1000}{3600sec}=22.22m/sec$

From first equation of motion v =u+at

So $t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{22.22-0}{1.35}=16.46 sec$

(b) Now initial speed u = 22.22 m/sec

As finally train comes to rest so final speed v=0 m/sec

Deceleration $a=1.65m/sec^2$

So $t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-22.22}{-1.65}=13.466 sec$

Final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 8.30 sec

So acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-22.22}{8.3}=-2.6771m/sec^2$

As acceleration is negative so it is a deceleration

The wavelength of light is 5000 angstrom. Express it in nm and m.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1 angstrom = 0.1nm

5000 angstrom = 5000/1 × 0.1nm

$1 \: angstrom = 1 \times {10}^{ - 10} m$

5000 angstrom = 5000 × 1 × 10^-10

Hope this helps you

Estimate the wavelength corresponding to maximum emission from each of the following surfaces: the sun, a tungsten filament at 2

igomit [66]

Answer

Applying Wein's displacement

$\lamda_{max}\ T = 2898 \mu_mK$

1) for sun T = 5800 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{5800}$

$\lambda_{max} = 0.5 \mu_m$

2) for tungsten T = 2500 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{2500}$

$\lambda_{max} = 1.16 \mu_m$

3) for heated metal T = 1500 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{1500}$

$\lambda_{max} = 1.93 \mu_m$

4) for human skin T = 305 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{305}$

$\lambda_{max} = 9.50 \mu_m$

5) for cryogenically cooled metal T = 60 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{60}$

$\lambda_{max} = 48.3 \mu_m$

range of different spectrum

UV ----0.01-0.4

visible----0.4-0.7

infrared------0.7-100

for sun T = 5800

λ 0.01 0.4 0.7 100

λT 58 2320 4060 5.8 x 10⁵

F 0 0.125 0.491 1

fractions

for UV = 0.125

for visible = 0.441-0.125 = 0.366

for infrared = 1 -0.491 = 0.509
