What is the difference between the spectrum of an incandescent solid and the spectrum of an incandescent gas?

Physics
1 answer:
Nutka1998 [239]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

ncandescent solids emit continuous spectra; incandescent gases emit bright-line spectra.

Explanation:

Materials when heated emit a continuous spectrum with all wavelengths.

Hot gas gases emit a spectrum that depends on the transitions between atomic states, therefore it is a discrete spectrum.

When reviewing the answers, the correct one is:

ncandescent solids emit continuous spectra; incandescent gases emit bright-line spectra.

A dog running at 10 m/s is 30m behind a rabbit moving at 5 m/s. when will the dog catch up with the rabbit assuming both their v
dedylja [7]

The will dog catch up with the rabbit in 6 minutes assuming both their velocities remain constant during the chase.

<h3>What time will the dog catch the rabbit?</h3>

The time that the dog will catch up with the rabbit is given as follows:

Let the distance covered by the rabbit be x.

Distance covered by dog = x + 30

  • Time taken = distance/speed

The time taken will be the same T

  1. Time taken by dog, T = (x + 30)/10
  2. Time taken by rabbit, T = x/5

Equating both times.

(x + 30)/10 = x/5

x = 30 m

Solving for T in equation (ii);

T = 30/5 = 6 minutes

In conclusion, time is obtained as a ratio of distance and speed.

Please help!!! A river has a constant current of 3 km per hour. If a motorboat, capable of maintaining a constant speed of 20km
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Construct a vector diagram. It will be a right-angled triangle. One vector (the hypotenuse) represents the heading of the boat, one represents the current and one represents the resultant speed of the boat, which I'll call x. Their magnitudes are 20, 3 and x. Let the required angle = theta. We have: 

<span>theta = arcsin(3/20) = approx. 8.63° </span>

<span>The boat should head against the current in a direction approx. 8.63° to the line connecting the dock with the point opposite, or approx. 81.37° to the shore line. </span>

<span>x = sqrt(20^2 - 3^2) </span>
<span>= sqrt(400 - 9) </span>
<span>= sqrt 391 </span>

<span>The boat's crossing time = </span>
<span>0.5 km/(sqrt 391 km/hr) </span>
<span>= (0.5/sqrt 391) hr </span>
<span>= approx. 0.025 hr </span>
<span>= approx. 91 seconds</span>

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) What is the magnitude
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

E=6.8Kv/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance b/w plate d=10cm=>0.1m

P_1 Potential at 7.35 V=533v

Generally the equation for electric field at a distance is mathematically given as

E=\frac{v}{d}

E=\frac{533}{7.85*10^-^2}

E=6789.808917

E=6.8*10^3

E=6.8Kv/m

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical ener
defon

Complete question:

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find

(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg

period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J

The angular speed is calculated as follows;

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \\\\\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.41} \\\\\omega = 15.33 \ rad/s

(a) the force constant of the spring

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m \omega^2\\\\k = (0.2)(15.33)^2\\\\k = 47 \ N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂kA²

2E = kA²

A² = 2E/k

A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{47} }\\\\A = 0.292 \ m
