Answer:

The value is T =260.33 \ F

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

  The the peak wavelength is  \lambda_p =  660 nm = 660 *10^{-9} \  m

 Generally according to the Wien's displacement law

       \lambda_p *  T =  2.898*10^{-3} \ m \cdot K  

Here T is the approximate surface temperature of this star in K so

       660*10^{-9} *  T =  2.898*10^{-3} \ m \cdot K  

=>    T =  4091 \  K

Converting to Fahrenheit ,

     T = [400 - 273.15 ] * \frac{9}{5} + 32

=>  T =260.33 \ F

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram
bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

v_a = 70 mph

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_a = 350 m

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{350}{31.3}

t = 11.2 s

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}

v_b = 22.35 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_b = 590 feet

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m

now the time to hit the other car is

t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}

t_b = 8.05 s

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The nuclear energy is defined as a type of energy which liberates either by the process of nuclear fusion or nuclear fission and is mainly used to generate electricity. This energy is stored in the core of an atom (or nucleus).

It is highly effective, cost-effective and there is no emission of greenhouse gases.

But it also has some disadvantages, of which one is that it produces radioactive waste materials, which are difficult to dispose these substances and is also a very expensive method. These materials emit radiations that are harmful to the organisms. So, it is very challenging to dispose these radioactive waste materials.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
