Answer:

The peak wavelength of the light it irradiates decreases

Explanation:

As the temperature of a blackbody increase, the peak wavelength of the light it radiates decreases, this follows Wien's Law.

A blackbody is an ideal substance that emits all frequencies of light and also has the ability to absorb them as well.

Wiens displacement law, explains that the position of the peak wavelength of the thermal radiation emitted by bodies can change with temperature, and as the temperature increases beyond a certain point, the wavelength begins to reduce. This often changes the colour of the light emitted from heated objects.

A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

F = 768 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, $\dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}$

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}+v\dfrac{dm}{dt}$

Since, the speed is constant,

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$F=v\dfrac{dm}{dt}$

$F=3.2\times 240$

F = 768 N

So, the magnitude of force need to keep the car is 768 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Determine the magnitude of the effective value of g⃗ at a latitude of 60 ∘ on the earth. assume the earth is a rotating sphere.

dezoksy [38]

In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr)
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>

Why is newton's gravitational force called universal gravitational force

Lelechka [254]

Newton’s law of gravity is considered “universal” because it is believed to be applicable to the entire Universe (to a good approximation). Gravity does not just pull an apple from a tree, but also pulls the Moon to the Earth, the Earth to the Sun, and so on. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature.
