Answer:

true

Explanation:

Yes, it is true.

As the wattage is more than the prescribed wattage, it becomes overheated.

The temperature of the cosmic background radiation is measured to be 2.7 k. What is the wavelength of the peak in the spectral d
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

1.07\cdot 10^{-3} m

Explanation:

The peak wavelength of the spectral distribution can be found by using Wien's displacement law:

\lambda=\frac{b}{T}

where

b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K is Wien's displacement constant

T is the absolute temperature

For the cosmic background radiation, the temperature is

T = 2.7 K

So, the corresponding peak wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K}{2.7 K}=1.07\cdot 10^{-3} m

A soccer player kicks a ball with a force of 900 newtons. The ball has a mass of 0.5 kilograms. At what rate will the ball accel
Volgvan

Answer:

1800 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

We know this because of Newton's first law, F=ma, which shows us that the force on an object is equal to its mass times the acceleration it recieves. This means that taking our values of 900N and 0.5kg, and plugging them in,

900N=(0.5kg)*(1800m/s^2)

This is honestly a little strange because the force applied and the acceleration seem ridiculous, and a little strange for an answer. Either the values are not meant to be nearly close to reality, or you made a typo.

What occurs when an object travels in a curved path
babymother [125]
<span>When an object travels in a curved path, there must be a force acting toward the center of the circular trajectory. This force is called "centripetal force", and it cause an acceleration of the object, called "centripetal acceleration". The effect of this acceleration is that the velocity of the object changes in direction: however if the circular motion is uniform, the speed (=the magnitude of the velocity) does not change. In this case, the magnitude of the centripetal force is given by
</span>F=m \frac{v^2}{r}<span>
where m is the mass of the object, v its velocity, and r the radius of the circular path.</span>

What are two ways you can increase power by climbing the stairs?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

change the

  • time
  • distance
  • force.

Explanation:

P = W/time

W = F*d

You have control over how fast you go up the stairs.

You also have control over how far up the stairs you go.

Therefore the answer is

  • time
  • distance

If you don't like distance as an answer, you can carry something up the stairs -- anything that increases F will do.

Which type of energy is released when a bond between atoms is broken
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: gases

Explanation: because gases move around freely and they would be the only one to make sense because solid are compacted together and liquid are not so fast at moving but gases are wild
