Answer:

At the december solstice,the northern hemisphere is leaning most away from the sun for the year.At the december solatric,earth is positioned in its orbit so that the sun below the north pole horizon. After the winter solstice,the days get longer,and the night shorter.

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a s
baherus [9]

Given that,

Central maximum = 1 cm

Distance from the window shade to the wall =4 m

We know that,

The visible range of the sun light is 400 nm to 700 nm.

(a). We need to calculate the average wavelength

Using formula of average wavelength

\lambda_{avg}=\dfrac{\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2}}{2}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda_{avg}=\dfrac{400+700}{2}

\lambda_{avg}=550\ nm

(b). We need to calculate the diameter of the pinhole

Using formula for diameter

w=\dfrac{2.44\lambda L}{D}

D=\dfrac{2.44\lambda L}{w}

Put the value into the formula

D=\dfrac{2.44\times550\times10^{-9}\times4}{1\times10^{-2}}

D=0.537\ mm

Hence, (a). The average wavelength 550 nm.

(b). The diameter of the pinhole is 0.537 mm.

A 100 kg mass is pulled along a frictionless surface by a horizontal force F such that its acceleration is 10.0 m/s2. A 20 kg ma
DIA [1.3K]

Answer

given,

mass = 100 kg

acceleration = 10 m/s²

A mass 20 kg slides over 100 kg block

acceleration = 3 m/s²

horizontal friction exerted by the 100 kg block on 20 kg

using newton's second law

F - f = 0

F = f

f = ma

f = 20 × 3

f = 60 N

now net force acting on the 100 kg block

F_net = m a

F_net = 100 x 10

F_net = 1000 N

after 20 kg block falls the acceleration of the bock

F = 1000 +60

F = 1060 N

acceleartion on the block

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{1060}{100}

a = 10.60 m/s²

Two bricks are released at the same time from the same point ten feet above the ground. One of the bricks is falling straight do
natita [175]
Both bricks will hit the ground at the same time.

Falling vertically is always accelerating at 9.8 m/s² because of gravity.
Nothing that's happening horizontally has any effect on that.
The brick that happens to have some horizontal motion will 
probably hit the ground way over there, but that will still be
at the same TIME as this one.

This is a perfect place to remind you of the old unbelievable story,
which I'll bet you heard before:

If you fire a bullet horizontally from a gun, and at the exact same
moment you DROP another bullet out of your hand next to the gun,
the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time !  Even though
they'll be far apart.

Horizontal speed has no effect on vertical behavior.

Suppose your surface body temperature averaged 90 degrees F. How much radiant energy in W/m^2 would be emitted from your body?
Debora [2.8K]

493 \; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the energy radiation <em>per unit area</em> of a black body:

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4}

where,

  • P the total power emitted,
  • A the surface area of the body,
  • \sigma the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant, and
  • T the temperature of the body in degrees Kelvins.

\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \;\text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} \cdot \text{K}^{-4}.

T = 90 \; \textdegree{}\text{F} = (\dfrac{5}{9} \cdot (90-32) + 273.15) \; \text{K} = 305.372 \; \text{K}.

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4} = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 305.372^{4} = 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

Keep as many significant figures in T as possible. The error will be large when T is raised to the power of four. Also, the real value will be much smaller than 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} since the emittance of a human body is much smaller than assumed.
