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.

You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 72 km/h and the other half at 98 km/h. On the way back

zimovet [89]

Answer: a. 85km/hr b.82.3km/hr

c. 84km/hr

Explanation: first let take the total time from San Antonio to Houston to be 2hr.

Half time 1hr was covered with speed of 72km/hr

Distance = speed*time=72km/hr *1hr

=72km

So too with the second half of 1hr covered with speed of 98km/hr

Distance = 98km

Total distance from Houston to San Antonio is 98+72 =170km

a. Average speed from San Antonio to Houston is

S1 =170/2

=85km/hr

b.half distance from Houston to San Antonio which is 170km/2

= 85km was covered with speed of 72km/hr first half, so time

t = dist/speed

t = 85/72 = 1hr 12 mins

Remaining 85 km covered with a speed of 98km/hr

Time = 85/98 = 0.88*60min

= 52 mins

Total time = 1hr +12mins +52mins

=2hr4mins= 124/60 hr

So average speed = distance/time

=170/124/60

Using reciprocal law

Average speed S2= 170*60/124

= 82.3km/hr

C. Average speed to and fro(entire tripe)

= (85+82.3)/2

=84km/hr

Visit this website and locate the element mercury, whose chemical symbol is Hg. Click on the square to read about the history, p

Irina-Kira [14]

We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.

If both mass and speed are doubled, what happens to its momentum?

puteri [66]

The general formula is: Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

I never like to just write a bunch of algebra without explaining it.
But in this particular case, there's really not much to say, and
I think the algebra will pretty well explain itself. I hope so:

Original momentum = (original mass) x (original speed)

New momentum = (2 x original mass) x (2 x original speed)

   = (2) x (original mass) x (2) x (original speed)

   = (2) x (2) x (original mass) x (original speed)

   = (4) x (original mass) x (original speed)

   = (4) x (original momentum).
