In an experiment, an object is heated.

The closest stars are 4 light years away from us. How far away must you be from a 854 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for t

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The distance from the radio station is 0.28 light years away.

Solution:

As per the question:

Distance, d = 4 ly

Frequency of the radio station, f = 854 kHz = $854\times 10^{3}\ Hz$

Power, P = 50 kW = $50\times 10^{3}\ W$

$I_{p} = 1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

Now,

From the relation:

P = nhf

where

n = no. of photons/second

h = Planck's constant

f = frequency

Now,

$n = \frac{P}{hf} = \frac{50\times 10^{3}}{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 854\times 10^{3}} = 8.836\times 10^{31}\ photons/s$

Area of the sphere, A = $4\pi r^{2}$

Now,

Suppose the distance from the radio station be 'r' from where the intensity of the photon is $1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

$I_{p} = \frac{n}{A} = \frac{n}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$1 = \frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}} = 2.65\times 10^{15}\ m$

Now,

We know that:

1 ly = $9.4607\times 10^{15}\ m$

Thus

$r = \frac{2.65\times 10^{15}}{9.4607\times 10^{15}} = 0.28\ ly$

Mariah trained for months leading up to the marathon, and she won. After seeing this, her friends and family would describe her

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Mariah trained for months leading up to the marathon and won. Her sole motivation was that after seeing her winning the marathon, her friends and family would call her as motivated and athletic. It means that Mariah wanted to fulfill her esteem needs.

Explanation:

According to Abraham Maslow:

Safety needs includes the personal security, the safety of health, resources and property. etc.

Physiological needs falls at the lowest level of basic needs. It includes food, water, rest. etc which are necessary for an individual's survival.

Esteem includes the need of respect and self-confidence.

Cognitive needs includes the desire of knowledge, to know things, to know what is happening and why is it happening around you.

In Mariah's case, she needed respect and motivation and thus she was trying to fulfill her esteem needs by winning the marathon.

The speed of sound in wood is ____ the speed of sound in water.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

greater

Explanation:

the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.

A car has a mass of 900 kg and a truck has a mass of 1800 kg. In which of the following situations would they have the same mome

Kaylis [27]

a) since force = mass * acceleration

f= 900 * 0 (because constant speed = 0 acceleration)

similarly b) f = 0

Describe what happens to the system inside of a refrigerator or freezer in terms of heat transfer, work, and conservation of ene

Over [174]

Answer: A. Work is done on the system and heat is transferred from the system for a net decrease in internal energy.

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device which dispenses heat from the close system to a warmer area or in the surrounding. By dispensing the heat the internal temperature of the refrigerator drops. The system of refrigerator violates the second law of thermodynamics. As it performs the work to cool the region instead of heating the region. The work is done on the system and the internal energy decreases and the heat energy is liberated to the surrounding area. A refrigerator is an open system.
