Answer:

Because it radiates a spectre of frequencies, this means that it radiates in a continuous range of frequencies, ones with more intensity (like x-ray and ultraviolet) and others with less intensity (like the visible light). While most of the radiation is not in the visible range, there still is a part of the radiation in the visible spectre. And while this part is not the most intense part, the radiation is so large that we can see a very bright visible light.

Answer:

Explanation:

If we look at the equation x(final) = v(initial)*t + x(initial), where v(initial in the x dir.) in the same both times, and x(initial) is 0, we can conclude that t is responsible for the change in x(final).

The latent heat of vaporization of H₂O at body temperature (37°C) is 2.42 x 10⁶ J/kg. To cool the body of a 60.4-kg jogger [aver

Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporization of $H_{2}O$ at 37°C is $2.42\times10^{6}\text{ }\frac{J}{kg}$ .

When the sweat on our body evaporates, it absorbs energy from our body to overcome it's Latent heat of vaporisation. Thus our body cools down when sweat evaporates.

So, Energy absorbed by sweat to evaporate = Energy lost by body

Specific heat capacity of human body = $3500\text{ }\frac{J}{kg\text{ }C^{o}}$ . Jogger weights 60.4 kg. Body temperature decreases by $1.08\text{ }C^{o}$

Energy absorbed from body = $mS\Delta T=3500\times60.4\times 1.08 =228312\text{ }J$

$228312\text{ }J=\text{Energy absorbed by sweat}=mC=m\times2.42\times10^{6}\\m=0.094\text{ }kg$

∴ 0.094 kg of sweat has evaporated from the body.

A string of length 1.3 m is oscillating in a standing wave pattern. If the tension in the string is 430 N, the string has a mass

Vlad1618 [11]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to the speed of a string which is given by the applied voltage and the linear mass density of it. With the speed value we can find the fundamental frequency that will serve as a step to find the maximum speed through the relation of Amplitude and Angular Speed. So:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu_e}}$
