Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Explanation:

When the temperature of the hot solid object increases then the radiation which emits from it gets shifted to smaller wavelength or higher frequencies. The hot appears red color.

The total energy emitted of a hot solid object is directly proportional to the fourth power of the temperature of the black body.

For example, when we switch on the light bulb, initially the radiation of the bulb appears dimmer. Then, it will become brighter. Then, it will turn yellow and then it becomes even white.

The color of the light emitted by a hot solid object depends on the temperature of the object.

Therefore, the correct option is (A).

Carlos was camping and getting cold as the sun went down. He wanted to light a fire for warmth and light. However, he discovered

storchak [24]

1. The chemical reaction produced by Carlo's fire is exergonic because energy is "going out". As the reaction proceeds, entropy increases as the energy stored in the dry wood and leaves are used up as fuel to create the fire which produces low quality light and warmth.

2. This reaction is a classic example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are characterized with the presence of heat and light in the products. Combustion reactions are always exothermic in nature.

3. Catalyst are substances that are used to speed up reactions by lowering the activation requirement. Catalysts aren't consumed in the reaction and can still be chemically retrieved afterwards. In this situation, the leaves cannot be retrieved after the reaction ends. The leaves speed up the heating of the wood but it does not behave as a catalyst.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 750 m/h at a heading of 51.3°. The veloci

abruzzese [7]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

In 2.4 hours, the distance traveled by the first airplane heading a 51.3° at 750 mph is
a = 750*2.4 = 1800 miles.

The second airplane travels
b = 620*2.4 = 1488 mile

The angle between the two airplanes is
163° - 51.3° = 111.7°

Let c = the distance between the two airplanes after 2.4 hours.
From the Law of Cosines, obtain
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(111.7°)
= 3.24 x 10⁶ + 2.2141 x 10⁶
c = 2335.41 miles

Answer: 2335.4 miles

Which part of the drum vibrates when it produces sound?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

For example, when a drum is struck, the flexible skin (sometimes called a membrane) of the drum vibrates. The compression and expansion of the air on either side of the vibrating membrane produces differences in air pressure. The pressure differences generate a sound wave that propagates outward from the drum surface.
