Answer:

2.63 x 10^18

Explanation:

A = 1 cm^2 = 1 x 10^-4 m^2

λ = 10,000 nm = 10,000 x 10^-9 m = 10^-5 m

T = 37 degree C = 37 + 273 = 310 k

Energy of each photon = h c / λ

where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the velocity of light

Energy of each photon = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / 10^-5 = 1.989 x 10^-20 J

Energy radiated per unit time = σ A T^4

Where, σ is Stefan's constant

Energy radiated per unit time = 5.67 x 10^-8 x 10^-4 x 310^4 = 0.05236 J

Number of photons per second = Energy radiated per unit time / Energy of  

                                                                                               each photon

Number of photons per second = 0.05236 / (1.989 x 10^-20) = 2.63 x 10^18

an elevator mass of 7700 kg falls from a height of 32 m after a sudden failure in the hoisting cable. The mass is stopped by a s
valkas [14]

Answer:k=28.29 kN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass m =7700 kg

height from which Elevator falls h=32 m

Let x be the compression in the spring

thus From conservation of Energy Potential energy will convert in to Elastic Potential Energy of spring

\frac{kx^2}{2}=mg(h+x)----------1

also maximum acceleration is 5g

thus

mg-kx=ma

here a=-5g

kx=mg-m(-5g)=6mg

x=\frac{6mg}{k}

Substitute x in equation 1

0.5\times k\times (\frac{6mg}{k})^2=mg(h+\frac{6mg}{k})

18\frac{(mg)^2}{k}=mgh+6\frac{(mg)^2}{k}

k=12\cdot \frac{mg}{h}

k=12\times \frac{7700\times 9.8}{32}

k=28.29 kN/m

A circular loop with radius r is rotating with constant angular velocity ω in a uniform electric field with magnitude E. The axi
inn [45]

Answer:

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t

Explanation:

The electric flux is defined as the multiple of electric field and the area that the electric field passes through, such that

\Phi_{E} = \vec{E}\vec{A}

When calculating the electric flux, the angle between the directions of electric field and the area becomes important, especially if the angle is changing with time.

The above formula can be rewritten as follows

\Phi_{E} = EA\cos(\theta)

where θ is the angle between the electric field and the area of the loop. Note that, the direction of the area of the loop is perpendicular to the plane of the loop.

If the loop is rotating with constant angular velocity ω, then the angle can be written as follows

\theta = \omega t

At t = 0, cos(0) = 1 and the electric flux through the loop is at its maximum value.

Therefore the electric flux can be written as a function of time

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t

Neporo4naja [7]
<span>procedure would most likely help determine a chemical property of the substance is : exposing it to a flame to see if it catches on fire Chemical property is the characteristic that a substance has that differntiate it with another substance. The most common charatcteristics that most scientists wanted to know are : - It's flamability - It's radioactivity - Its toxicity By throwing the object into fire, we will easily find out these 3 characteristics</span>
