When a piece of metal is heated to high temperatures, it begins to glow red,

Physics
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The particle model, because the metal is only absorbing radiation

of specific frequencies

Explanation:

The heating of a metal is an example of blackbody radiation. Blackbody radiation refers to the spectrum of light emitted by any heated object; common examples include the heating element of a toaster and the filament of a light bulb. The spectral intensity of blackbody radiation peaks at a frequency that increases with the temperature of the emitting body(Encyclopedia Britianica).

Max Plank proffered explanation to black body radiation by assuming that the oscillators in the heated body emit or absorb energy in discrete frequencies given by E=hf. Hence the energy was directly proportional to the frequency of the oscillator.

A certain radar installation tracks airplanes by transmitting electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 4.0 cm.
Anna35 [415]

the wavelength equation is

speed (of light in this case)= wavelength (m) x frequency

3x10^8m/s / .07m = f

frequency= 4 285 714 286 hertz

 

 

 

b) Total distance= 4.8 km (4,800 m)

Speed = 3x10^8 m/s

mass of the planet is 12 times that of earth and its radius is thrice that of earth , then find the escape velocity on that plan
Over [174]

Answer:

The escape velocity on the planet is approximately 178.976 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity for Earth is therefore given as follows

The formula for escape velocity, v_e, for the planet is v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot m}{r} }

Where;

v_e = The escape velocity on the planet

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

m = The mass of the planet = 12 × The mass of Earth, M_E

r = The radius of the planet = 3 × The radius of Earth, R_E

The escape velocity for Earth, v_e_E, is therefore given as follows;

v_e_E = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M_E}{R_E} }

\therefore v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times 12 \times M}{3 \times R} } =  \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times 4 \times M}{R} } = 16 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times M}{R} } = 16 \times v_e_E

v_e = 16 × v_e_E

Given that the escape velocity for Earth, v_e_E ≈ 11,186 m/s, we have;

The escape velocity on the planet = v_e ≈ 16 × 11,186 ≈ 178976 m/s ≈ 178.976 km/s.

The upward velocity of a 2540kg rocket is v(t)=At + Bt2. At t=0 a=1.50m/s2. The rocket takes off and one second afterwards v=2.0
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The value of A is 1.5m/s^2 and B is 0.5m/s^³

Explanation:

The mass of the rocket = 2540 kg.

Given velocity, v(t)=At + Bt^2

Given t =0  

a= 1.50 m/s^2

Now, velocity V(t) = A*t + B*t²

If,  V(0) = 0, V(1) = 2

a(t) = dV/dt = A+2B × t  

a(0) = 1.5m/s^²  

1.5m/s^²  =  A + 2B ×  0  

A = 1.5m/s^2

now,

V(1) = 2 = A× 1 + B× 1^²  

1.5× 1 +B× 1 = 2m/s

B = 2-1.5  

B = 0.5m/s^³

Now Check V(t) = A× t + B × t^²

So, V(1) = A× (1s) + B× (1s)^² = 1.5m/s^² ×  1s + 0.5m/s^³ × (1s)^² = 1.5m/s + 0.5m/s = 2m/s  

Therefore, B is having a unit of m/s^³ so B× (1s)^² has units of velocity (m/s)

The useful power output of the engine is 2.0 kw. Calculate the rate at which energy is absorbed from the hot reservoir.
Alika [10]

Answer:

2000 J per second or 2kJ per second.

Explanation:

The definition for power (W) is the rate of energy (J) per unit of time (seconds). In this case the power output is 2kW, or 2000W. This means the energy rate of the engine must be 2000 joules per second, or 2kJ per second.

A 85.0kg man and a 65, 0kg woman are riding a Ferris wheel with a radius of 20.0m. What is the Ferris wheels tangential velocity
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The Ferris wheel's tangential (linear) velocity if the net centripetal force on the woman is 115 N is <u>3.92 m/s</u>.

Explanation:

Let's use <u>Newton's 2nd Law</u> to help solve this problem.

  • F = ma

The force acting on the Ferris wheel is the centripetal force, given in the problem: F_c=115 \ \text{N}.

The mass "m" is the <u>sum</u> of the man and woman's masses: 85+65= 150 \ \text{kg}.

The acceleration is the centripetal acceleration of the Ferris wheel: a_c=\displaystyle \frac{v^2}{r}.

Let's write an equation and solve for "v", the tangential (linear) acceleration.

  • \displaystyle 115=m(\frac{v^2}{r} )
  • \displaystyle 115 = (85+65)(\frac{v^2}{20})
  • \displaystyle 115=150(\frac{v^2}{20} )
  • .766667=\displaystyle(\frac{v^2}{20} )
  • 15.\overline{3}=v^2
  • v=3.9158

The Ferris wheel's tangential velocity is 3.92 m/s.
