Answer:

This question is  not complete

Explanation:

There are three ways in which heat is transferred, they are

  • Conduction: Here, heat is transferred from a hot object to a cooler object when both objects come in contact with one another. Here, there must be a contact between the two bodies. This is so because, the particles of the hot objects have a higher kinetic energy than the cooler object, and when they come in contact with the cooler ones, they transfer these energy to the cooler ones. Metals are generally good conductors of heat.
  • Convection: Here, heat is transferred in a liquid or a gas. Hot liquids or gases transfer there heat when they come in contact with cooler ones. There must be contact in this case also. For example, when a kettle of water is boiled, the water at the base of the kettle passes heat energy to the water at the top of the kettle.
  • Radiation: This does not require physical contact but a substance receives heat energy as a result of thermal radiation. For example, the sun produces heat but does not need to touch the metals on earth before they absorb the heat from the sun. So, heat is transferred without a medium or through open space here.

Estimate the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 k.
Andrews [41]
<h2>Answer: 10615 nm</h2>

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Wien's displacement law, which relates the wavelength  \lambda_{p} where the intensity of the radiation is maximum (also called peak wavelength) with the temperature T of the black body.

In other words:

<em>There is an inverse relationship between the wavelength at which the emission peak of a blackbody occurs and its temperature.</em>

Being this expresed as:

\lambda_{p}.T=C    (1)

Where:

T is in Kelvin (K)

\lambda_{p} is the <u>wavelength of the emission peak</u> in meters (m).

C is the <u>Wien constant</u>, whose value is 2.898(10)^{-3}m.K

From this we can deduce that the higher the black body temperature, the shorter the maximum wavelength of emission will be.

Now, let's apply equation (1), finding \lambda_{p}:

\lambda_{p}=\frac{C}{T}   (2)

\lambda_{p}=\frac{2.898(10)^{-3}m.K}{273K}  

Finally:

\lambda_{p}=10615(10)^{-9}m=10615nm  This is the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 K, and corresponds to the<u> infrared.</u>

Two protons (each with q = 1.60 x 10-19)
otez555 [7]

Answer:

230.4 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge (q) of each protons = 1.6×10¯¹⁹ C

Distance apart (r) = 1×10¯¹⁵ m

Force (F) =?

NOTE: Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

The force exerted can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × (1.6×10¯¹⁹)² / (1×10¯¹⁵)²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2.56×10¯³⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 2.304×10¯²⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 230.4 N

Therefore, the force exerted is 230.4 N

A mars prototype carrying scientific instruments has a mass of 1060kg. a net force of 52000 n is applied to this roverat a test
Nitella [24]

F = 52000 N

m = 1060 kg

a= F/m = 52000 N/1060 kg = 49.0566 m/s^2

Which one of the following types of electromagnetic wave travels through space the fastest?
Setler [38]

Answer:

As a result, light travels fastest in empty space, and travels slowest in solids. In glass, for example, light travels about 197,000 km/s.
