Answer:

They are gaining energy, can move and slide past each other.

Explanation:

Because as ice melts, the molocules gain energy/heat which warm them up and are able to slide/move apart from each other.

Differences between Pressure and upthrust

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Pressure is equal to the ratio of thrust to the area in contact. Upthrust is a force exerted by the fluids on an object placed in the fluid . Upthrust acts in upward direction.

At what wavelength would a star radiate the greatest amount of energy if the star has a surface temperature of 60,000 K?

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m$

Explanation:

We have,

The surface temperature of the star is 60,000 K

It is required to find the wavelength of a star that radiated greatest amount of energy. Wein's displacement law gives the relation between wavelength and temperature such that :

$\lambda T=2.89\times 10^{-3}$

Here,

$\lambda$ = wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}}{60000}\\\\\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the star is $4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m$ .

A narrow beam of light from a laser travels through air (n = 1.00) and strikes the surface of the water (n = 1.33) in a lake at

Natalka [10]

Answer:

A) d = 11.8m

B) d = 4.293 m

Explanation:

A) We are told that the angle of incidence;θ_i = 70°.

Now, if refraction doesn't occur, the angle of the light continues to be 70° in the water relative to the normal. Thus;

tan 70° = d/4.3m

Where d is the distance from point B at which the laser beam would strike the lakebottom.

So,d = 4.3*tan70

d = 11.8m

B) Since the light is moving from air (n1=1.00) to water (n2=1.33), we can use Snell's law to find the angle of refraction(θ_r)

So,

n1*sinθ_i = n2*sinθ_r

Thus; sinθ_r = (n1*sinθ_i)/n2

sinθ_r = (1 * sin70)/1.33

sinθ_r = 0.7065

θ_r = sin^(-1)0.7065

θ_r = 44.95°

Thus; xonsidering refraction, distance from point B at which the laser beam strikes the lake-bottom is calculated from;

d = 4.3 tan44.95

d = 4.293 m

50POINTS! Find the orbital speed of a satellite in a circular orbit 1700km above the surface of the Earth. M_earth 5.97e24kg, r_

ivolga24 [154]

<h2>Answer: 7020.117 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is<u> constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

$V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G=6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}}$ is the gravity constant

$M_{Earth}=5.97{10}^{24}kg$ the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting, in this case, the Earth .

$R=r_{Earth}+h=8080000m$ the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

This means the radius of the orbit is equal to <u>the sum</u> of the average radius of the Earth $r_{Earth}$ and the altitude of the satellite above the Earth's surface $h$ .

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. It depends on the mass of the massive body (the Earth).

Now, rewriting equation (1) with the known values:

$V=\sqrt{(6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}})\frac{5.97{10}^{24}kg}{8080000m}}$

$V=7020.117\frac{m}{s}$
