Answer:

Isotopic dating of meteor fragments

Explanation:

Earth is so old that its age can only be determined using isotopic dating. The oldest measurement of Earth's age was determined using isotopic dating of meteor fragments.

A solid sphere has a temperature of 614 K. The sphere is melted down and recast into a cube that has the same emissivity and emi

krok68 [10]

Answer:581.87 K

Explanation:

Given

Sphere is melted to form a square

Let the radius of sphere be r and square has a side a

Therefore

$\frac{4\pi}{3}r^3=a^3$

Surface area of sphere $A_s=4\pi r^2$

Surface area of cube $A_c=6a^2$

Total emmisive remains same

Thus $P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4$

$A_sT_s^4=A_cT_c^4$

$\frac{T_c^4}{T_s^4}=\frac{A_s}{A_c}$

$\frac{T_c^4}{T_s^4}=\frac{1}{2}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\frac{T_c}{T_s}=\frac{1}{2^{0.25}}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{12}}$

$T_c=T_s\times \frac{1}{2^{0.25}}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{12}}$

$T_c=614\times \frac{1.12679}{1.189}$

$T_c=581.87 K$

In the Bohr model of hydrogen, the electron moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. (a) Determine the orbital frequency of

Airida [17]

Answer:

(a) 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s or hertz

(b) 8.21 * 10^14 rev/s or hertz

Explanation:

Fn= 4π^2k^2e^4m * z^2/(h^3*n^3)

Where Fn is frequency at all levels of n.

Z = 1 (nucleus)

e = 1.6 * 10^-19c

m = 9.1 * 10^-31 kg

h = 6.62 * 10-34

K = 9 * 10^9 Nm2/c2

(a) for groundstate n = 1

Fn = 4 * π^2 * (9*10^9)^2*(1.6*10^-19)^4* (9.1 * 10^-31) * 1 / (6.62 * 10^-31)^3 = 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s

(b) first excited state

n = 1

We multiple the groundstate answer by 1/n^3

6.567 * 10^15 rev/s/ 2^3

F2 = 8.2 * 10^ 14 rev/s

A 0.50 kg toy is attached to the end of a 1.0 m very light string. The toy is whirled in a horizontal circular path on a frictio

xenn [34]

Answer:

The maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

radius of the light string r = 1 m

Tension on the string T = 350 N

We have to find the maximum speed without breaking the string

For without breaking the string tension must be equal to the centripetal force

So $T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

So $350=\frac{0.5\times v^2}{1}$

$v^2=700$

v = 26.475 m /sec

So the maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec
