Where in our daily lives do we encounter "background" radiation​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the food we eat and drink. There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe. Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements.

Which of the diagrams below illustrates sound waves generated by a siren
stepladder [879]

Diagram D. shows the sound waves generated by a siren

that is moving with constant speed to the left.

A sound wave is the sample of disturbance caused by the movement of strength journeying thru a medium because it propagates far away from the supply of the sound. Sound waves are created by using object vibrations and bring strain waves, for example, a ringing cellular phone.

Sound waves fall into three classes: longitudinal waves, mechanical waves, and strain waves. keep studying to find out what qualifies them as such. Longitudinal Sound Waves A longitudinal wave is a wave wherein the movement of the medium's debris is parallel to the course of the energy transport. Sound propagates via air or different mediums as a longitudinal wave, in which the mechanical vibration constituting the wave occurs along the direction of propagation of the wave.

1. Which type of wire would be a better conductor of an electrical current?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

1.

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is  the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}

where:

R = resistance of the wire

l = length of the wire

a= cross sectional area of the wire  

from the above relation we observe that

R\propto l

R\propto \frac{1}{a}

  • Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

2.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

3.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.

The blackbody radation emmitted from a furnace peaks at a wavelength of 1.9 x 10^-6 m (0.0000019 m). what is the temperature ins
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Temperature, T = 1542.10 K

Explanation:

It is given that,

The black body radiation emitted from a furnace peaks at a wavelength of, \lambda=1.9\times 10^{-6}\ m

We need to find the temperature inside the furnace. The relationship between the temperature and the wavelength is given by Wein's law i.e.

\lambda\propto \dfrac{1}{T}

or

\lambda=\dfrac{b}{T}

b = Wein's displacement constant

\lambda=\dfrac{2.93\times 10^{-3}}{T}

T=\dfrac{2.93\times 10^{-3}}{\lambda}

T=\dfrac{2.93\times 10^{-3}}{1.9\times 10^{-6}\ m}

T = 1542.10 K

So, the temperature inside the furnace is 1542.10 K. Hence, this is the required solution.

The cable of a crane is lifting a 950 kg girder. The girder increases its speed from 0.25 m/s to 0.75 m/sin a distance of 5.5m
Umnica [9.8K]

Explanation:

a) How much work is done by gravity?

  • w = f x d
  • w = 950 x 10 x 5.5 = 52250j

b) How much work is done by tension?

  • v²=u²+2as
  • 0.75²=0.25²+2a x5.5
  • 0.56=0.06+2a x5.5
  • 2a x5.5 = 0.56 - 0.06
  • 2a x 5.5 =0.5
  • 11a=0.5
  • a = 0.5/11 = 0.05m/s²

w = f x d

w = 950 x 0.05 x 5.5 = 261.25j
