Answer:

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits for exposure to x-rays and gamma rays in part because it recognizes that this form of radiation can cause cancer.

How did planck find the correct curve for the specturm of light emitted by a hot obkect?
Neko [114]

Planck find the correct curve for the specturm of light emitted by a hot object by vibrational energies of the atomic resonators were quantized.

<h3>Briefing :</h3>
  • The energy density of a black body between λ and λ + dλ is the energy E=hc/λ of a mode times the density of states for photons, times the probability that the mode is occupied. 
  • This is Planck's renowned equation for a black body's energy density.
  • According to this, electromagnetic radiation from heated bodies emits in discrete energy units or quanta, the size of which depends on a fundamental physical constant (Planck's constant). The basis of infrared imaging is the correlation between spectral emissivity, temperature, and radiant energy, which is made possible by Planck's equation.

In a popular classroom demonstration, a cotton ball is placed in the bottom of a strong test tube. A plunger fits inside the tub
mario62 [17]

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.  

P = kT  

<em>where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.</em>

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.      

I hope it helps you!

A ceiling fan has three blades. The moment of inertia of a blade is 0.2kgm^2. The net torque exerted on fan blades is 8Nm. Find
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

(A) the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

moment of inertia of a blade, I = 0.2 kgm²

net torque exerted on fan blades, ∑τ =  8Nm

Torque is given as product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration;

τ = Iα

where;

α is the angular acceleration

Since there are three blades of the ceiling fan, the net torque is given as;

∑τ = (3I)α

∑τ = 3Iα

α = ∑τ / 3I

α = (8) / (3 x 0.2)

α = 13.33 m/s

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

An object with velocity 141 ft/s has a kinetic energy of 1558.71 ft∙lbf, on a planet whose gravity is 31.5 ft/s2. What is its
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf

velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s

The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} mV^2\\\\mV^2 = 2K.E\\\\m = \frac{2K.E}{V^2} \\\\1 \ lbf = 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2\\\\m  = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ ft.lbf \ \times \ 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2 }{(141 \ ft/s)2 \ \  \times \ \ \ \ 1   \ lbf\ }

m  = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71  \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm.ft^2/s^2 }{(141 )^2\ ft^2/s^2 }\\\\m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71  \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm }{(141 )^2 }\\\\m = 5.045 \ lbm

Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.
