Professor Whitney has a sample of lead and a sample of iron. The samples have equal mass. When Whitney heats the samples, the le

ad reaches a higher temperature than the iron, even though both samples absorbed the same amount of thermal energy. What can Whitney conclude from this experiment?

The temperature increase of a substance is T=Q/m*c, where m is the mass, Q is the energy absorbed and c is the specific heat.  So you can conclude that if the lead gets to a higher temperature, it must have a lower specific heat

A star emits electromagnetic radiation which closely resembles the spectrum of a blackbody. The three star system named Albireo
aksik [14]

Answer:

A = 13000K has a maximum at lam = 1,9984 10⁻⁷ m = 199.84 nm , this star is visually separated from the other two by its constant emission spectrum and is not affected by the other two.

we have a fluctuation of the intensity emitted by the stars.   Consequently by this fluctuation the amateur astronomer can conclude that this system is made up of two stars.

Explanation:

The radiation of a black body is characterized by its temperature, with Wien's law of displacement we can find the maximum wavelength emitted by each star.

                  λ T = 2,898 10⁻³

therefore the emission the star of A = 13000K has a maximum at lam = 1,9984 10⁻⁷ m = 199.84 nm

The emission of the premiere is in the ultraviolet light range, as this star is visually separated from the other two by its constant emission spectrum and is not affected by the other two.

The burst with A = 4300K ​​has a bad emission maximum = 6.7395 10⁻⁷ m = 673.95 nm, which corresponds to an emission in the visible in the orange range, giving a blackbody spectrum of this range, but since the emission is formed by two stars, we see that when the two are placed one in front of the other the intensity of the emission must increase significantly and when they are placed next to each other the intensity reaches its minimum, consequently we have a fluctuation of the intensity emitted by the stars.

Consequently by this fluctuation the amateur astronomer can conclude that this system is made up of two stars.

Copper wire is 1. 9 mm in diameter and carries a current of 20 a. What is the electric field stregnth inside this wire?
Tju [1.3M]

The electric field strength will be 0.6252 V/m. It is the strength at which the field is created by charges.

<h3>What is electric file strength?</h3>

The electric field strength is defined as the ratio of electric force and charge.

The electric field strength is found as;

\rm E = \frac{I \rho }{A} \\\\ \rm E = \frac{20  \times 1.68 \times 10^{-8} }{ (0.6385 \times 10^{-6}} \\\\ E= 0.5262 \  V/m

Hence, the electric field strength will be 0.6252 V/m.

Define total mechanical energy
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energies: E = K + U. The law of conservation of total mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy is constant in time.

What is escape velocity?
olga_2 [115]
<span>It is the lowest velocity which a body must have in order to escape the gravitational attraction of a particular planet or other object.

Every planet has their own corresponding escape velocities. Example - Earth has escape velocity of 11.2 Km/s. It means, if you want to leave the Earth's gravitational field then it's the lowest speed which you need to acquire otherwise you wouldn't do that!

Hope this helps!</span>

2. Predict what will happen if the 80 kg adult was further from the pivot (more right) and explain your reasoning. 3. Predict wh
Alika [10]

Answer:

2) τ = F x  torque increases, 3) troque decreases,

4)  man approaches the pivot and the child must move away

5)  Σ τ = 0

Explanation:

2) when the man moves away from the pivot his torque increases significantly, since his distance increases

                 τ = F x

                 τ = m g x

therefore the system rotates faster

3) when the child approaches the pivot, his troque decreases, because the distance decreases

                 τ = f x

therefore the system must spin slower

4) If we place the man and the child on the side of a scale, the movement must be the man approaches the pivot and the child must move away, so that the torque is the same and the system can reach a balance

5) the rotational equilibrium expression

                 Σ τ = 0

is the one that describes the equilibrium of a system with several forces
