Kiana is wearing a black shirt and shiny necklace. While she is outside at recess her shirt absorbs the light waves and gets ver

y hot in the sun, but her necklace reflects the light waves and small circles of light are seen around the yard. What explains why the light waves behaved differently on her shirt than they did on her necklace?

Answer:

Black bodies are good absorber of light waves from the sun, while shining surfaces are good reflector of the light waves.

Explanation:

Generally, a black surface or material tends to absorb light waves while under the sun, while a shiny surface is a good reflector of the waves. This is because the black material is a good absorber, and also a good emitter.

The shiny necklace can only absorb little light waves from the sun, thus it reflects most of the light waves. The reflection is the reason for the small circles of light seen around the yard.

However, when in a cool environment the black shirt would cools faster (good emitter) than the shiny necklace.

Lead atoms occupy a volume of 3 x 10-29 m3. Each atom contributes two free electrons. Calculate the Fermi velocity of lead.
Juliette [100K]

<u>Answer:</u> The Fermi velocity of lead is 64.4 km/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the Fermi velocity, we use the equation:

V_f=\frac{h}{2\pi m_e}(\frac{3\pi^2N}{V})^{1/3}

where,

h = Planck's constant = 6.62\times 10^{-34}Js

m_e = mass of electron = 9.1\times 10^{-31}kg

N = Number of atoms present in per volume of atom multiplied by number of electrons present in given atom = \frac{2\times N_A\times V}{M}

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{26}mol^{-1}    (When the mass is in kilograms)

V = Volume = 3\times 10^{-29}m^3

M = molecular weight of lead = 207.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

V_f=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{2\times 3.14\times (9.1\times 10^{-31})}(\frac{3\times (3.14)^2\times (2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 3\times 10^{-29})}{3\times 10^{-29}\times 207.2})^{1/3}

V_f=0.0644\times 10^6m/s=64.4km/s     (Conversion factor: 1 km = 1000 m)

Hence, the Fermi velocity of lead is 64.4 km/s

The total pressure for a fluid is a. the sum of the hydrostatic and static pressures. b. the sum of the hydrostatic and dynamic
m_a_m_a [10]

<h2>The option a is most appropriate </h2>

Explanation:

The total pressure due to liquid column at any place is the sum of

( i ) pressure due to liquid column called hydrostatic pressure

( ii ) the pressure due to air column above the liquid column , which is called the static pressure

Thus total pressure is the sum of hydrostatic and static pressure .

Thus the option a is most appropriate

Charge flows from low potential to high potential.<br> O True<br> or<br> O False
inn [45]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Think of the electric potential in terms of potential energy. If you imagine a place with high elevation (A) and another one at sea level (B), a ball will roll from high potential to low potential (A-->B).

Everything in our universe wants to reach a lower state of energy if no external force is acted upon it. Every object tends to slow down (friction), a radioactive element dissipates energy (an unstable element releases energy to get to a stable state), water in the clouds comes down to the ground (rain experiencing difference in potential energy).

Electric potential is exactly the same, you just can't see it! It flows from higher voltage (which is a synonym for electric potential) to lower voltage.

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca
Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses m_1 and m_2

now if the speed of two cars are v_1 and v_2

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2
