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.

Suppose you have two meter sticks, one made of steel and one made of invar (an alloy of iron and nickel), which are the same len

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The difference in length for steel is 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m

The difference in length for invar is 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

Given;

original length of steel, L₁ = 1.00 m

original length of invar, L₁ = 1.00 m

coefficients of volume expansion for steel, $\gamma_{st.}$ = 3.6 × 10⁻⁵ /°C

coefficients of volume expansion for invar, $\gamma_{in.}$ = 2.7 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

temperature rise in both meter stick, θ = 20.5°C

Difference in length, can be calculated as:

L₂ = L₁ (1 + αθ)

L₂ = L₁ + L₁αθ

L₂ - L₁ = L₁αθ

ΔL = L₁αθ

Where;

ΔL is difference in length

α is linear expansivity = $\frac{\gamma}{3}$

Difference in length, for steel at 20.5°C:

ΔL = L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

$\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{3.6*10^{-5}}{3} = 1.2*10^{-5} /^oC$

ΔL = 1 x 1.2 x 10⁻⁵ x 20.5 = 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m

Difference in length, for invar at 20.5°C:

ΔL = L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

$\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{2.7*10^{-6}}{3} = 0.9*10^{-6}/^oC$

ΔL = 1 x 0.9 x 10⁻⁶ x 20.5 = 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is 2.10×10^{4} 4 m/s^{2} 2 , and 1.85 ms (1

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

Explanation:

given data:

acceleration = 2.10*10^4 m/s^2

time = 1.85*10^{-3} s

final velocity = 0 m/s

from equation of motion we have following relation

v = u +at

0 = u + 2.10*10^4 *1.85*10^{-3}

0 = u + (21 *1.85)

0 = u + 38.85

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

negative sign indicate that the ball bounce in opposite directon

Consider four point charges arranged in a square with sides of length L. Three of the point charges have charge q and one of the

nydimaria [60]

Answer: $F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

$F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}$

where $L\sqrt{2}=$ Distance between the two charges

$F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

$F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}$

The magnitude of force by both the charge is same but at an angle of $90^{\circ}$

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

$F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

$F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

A person jumps off a diving board 5.0 m above the water's surface into a deep pool. The person's downward motion stops 2.2 m bel

shutvik [7]

Answer:

9.9 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 5+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=9.9\ m/s$

If the body has started from rest then the initial velocity is 0. In order to find the velocity just before hitting the water then the distance at which the downward motion stops is irrelevant.

Hence, the speed of the diver just before striking the water is 9.9 m/s
