A student drops a rock from a bridge to the water 12.7 m below. with what speed does the rock strike the water? the acceleration

kolezko [41]

The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v= $\sqrt{2gh}$

v= $\sqrt{2*9.8*12.7}$

v=15.78 m/sec

Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

Two objects of the same size are both perfect blackbodies. One has a temperature of 3000 K, so its frequency of maximum emission

bija089 [108]

Answer:

a) The colder body (3000k), b) hearter body c) 12000K body

Explanation:

This exercise should know the power emitted by the objects and the distribution of this emission in the energy spectrum, for this we will use Stefan's laws and that of Wien's displacement

Stefan's Law P = σ A e T⁴

Wien displacement law λ T = 2,898 10⁻³ m K

Let's calculate the power emitted for each object.

As they are perfect black bodies e = 1, they also indicate that they have the same area

T = 3000K

P₁ = σ A T₁⁴

T = 12000K

P₂ = σ A T₂⁴

P₂ / P₁ = T₂⁴ / T₁⁴

P₂ / P₁ = (12000/3000)⁴

P₂ / P₁ = 256

This indicates that the hottest body emission is 256 times the coldest body emission.

Let's calculate the maximum emission wavelength

Body 1

T = 3000K

λ T = 2,898 10-3

λ₁ = 2.89810-3 / T

λ₁ = 2,898 10-3 / 3000

λ₁ = 0.966 10-6 m

λ₁ = 966 nm

T = 12000K

λ₂ = 2,898 10-3 / 12000

λ₂ = 0.2415 10-6 m

λ₂ = 214 nm

a) The colder body (3000k) emits more light in the infrared, since the emission of the hot body is at a minimum (emission tail)

b) The two bodies have emission in this region, the body of 3000K in the part of rise of the emission and the body to 12000K in the descent of the emission even when this body emits 256 times more than the other, so this body should have the highest broadcast in this area

c) The emission of the hottest 12000K body is mainly in UV

d) The hottest body emits more energy in UV and visible

e) No body has greater emission in all zones

An engine absorbs 1749 J from a hot reservoir and expels 539 J to a cold reservoir in each cycle. a. What is the engine’s effici

Masja [62]

Answer:

a)η = 69.18 %

b)W= 1210 J

c)P=3967.21 W

Explanation:

Given that

Q₁ = 1749 J

Q₂ = 539 J

From first law of thermodynamics

Q₁ = Q₂ +W

W=Work out put

Q₂=Heat rejected to the cold reservoir

Q₁ =heat absorb by hot reservoir

W= Q₁- Q₂

W= 1210 J

The efficiency given as

$\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q_1}$

$\eta=\dfrac{1210}{1749}$

$\eta=0.6918$

η = 69.18 %

We know that rate of work done is known as power

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{1210}{0.305}\ W$

P=3967.21 W

Gold, which has a mass of 19.32 g for each cubic centimeter of volume, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

area = 5733.33 cm²

length = 5.47 × $10^{7}$ cm

Explanation:

Given data

density = 19.32 g/cm³

mass = 33.16 g

thickness = 3.000 µm = 3 × $10^{-4}$ cm

radius r = 1.000 µm = 1 × $10^{-4}$ cm

to find out

area of the leaf and length of the fiber

solution

we know volume formula that is

volume = mass / density

volume = 33.16 / 19.32

volume = 1.72 cm³

we know that volume = thickness × area

so area

area = volume / thickness

area = 1.72 / 3 × $10^{-4}$

area = 5733.33 cm²

and

we know volume = πr²L

so L = volume / πr²

length = 1.72 / π(1× $10^{-4}$ )²

length = 5.47 × $10^{7}$ cm

What is it about copper that makes it a good conductor

natta225 [31]

It’s because conductors have nearly zero resistance to the flow of electrons that go through them. This leaves the electrons free to move and current can travel with full strength.
