In the introduction of this activity, we mentioned the temperature of your home on hot and cold days. Your body is kept warm in

your home primarily by two ways: by direct contact with the air around you and by absorbing infrared light that is radiated from the walls. As you have seen in this activity, the light that is radiated from an object depends almost solely on the temperature of the object. Based on what you have learned here, what is one reason for feeling warmer in your house on a summer day versus a winter day even though your thermostat is set the same?
a - The walls of the house are warmer during the summer. Therefore, they radiate more infrared light that can serve to warm our body.
b - The walls of the house are warmer during the summer. Therefore, they radiate more visible light that can serve to warm our body.
c - The walls of the house are warmer during the summer. Therefore, they radiate more ultraviolet (UV) light that can serve to warm our body.
d - The temperature of the walls of the house has no effect on the light they radiate.

Answer:

a) The walls of the house are warmer during the summer. Therefore, they radiate more infrared light that can serve to warm our body.

Explanation:

Option a) is the correct one, since to feel a little warmer being inside the house has to do with absorbing the infrared radiation that is transmitted by the walls. It is well known that in the summer the walls of a house tend to heat up to a higher temperature, therefore they are capable of emitting the infrared radiation that the body of anyone inside a house is capable of absorbing and causing those people feel warmer.

Answer:

a - The walls of the house are warmer during the summer. Therefore, they radiate more infrared light that can serve to warm our body.

Explanation:

The answer is Option(a). According to studies, the reason to feel warmer inside the house is the absorption of infrared radiations emitted by the walls. Also more the temperature of the body, the more the heat radiated by it. During summer the walls of the house are at higher temperature for which they emit more infrared radiations which our body absorbs and make us feel more warmer.

AnnyKZ [126]
The statement that can be used to answer this  question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.

Julius competes in the hammer throw event. The hammer has a mass of 7.26 kg and is 1.215 m long. What is the centripetal force o
nevsk [136]
In the circular motion of the hammer, the centripetal force is given by
F=m \frac{v^2}{r}
where m is the mass of the hammer, v its tangential speed and r is the distance from the center of the motion, i.e. the length of the hammer.
Using the data of the problem, we find:
F=m \frac{v^2}{r}=(7.26 kg) \frac{(31.95 m/s)^2}{1.215 m}=6100 N

A physics professor wants to perform a lecture demonstration of Young's double-slit experiment for her class using the 633-nm li
babunello [35]

Answer:

0.00001266 m

Explanation:

D = Distance from source to screen

m = Order

d = Slit separation

The distance from a point on the screen to the center line

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

At m = 0

y_0=0

y_1-y_0=35\ cm\\\Rightarrow y_1=35\ cm

At m = 1

y_1=\frac{1\times 633\times 10^{-9}\times 7}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\frac{1\times 633\times 10^{-9}\times 7}{0.35}\\\Rightarrow d=0.00001266\ m

The slit separation is 0.00001266 m

Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.
netineya [11]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

                                           Weight on Earth = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by  (9.8 m/s²):          Mass = (weight) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                            Mass = (650 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                           Mass = 66.33 kg  (rounded)

Suppose 1 kg of Hydrogen is converted into Helium. a) What is the mass of the He produced? b) How much energy is released in thi
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) m = 993 g

b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Explanation:

atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794

4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176

we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602

difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158

fraction of mass lost = \dfrac{0.029158}{4.03176}= 0.00723

loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23

a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)

b) energy released in the process

E = m c²

E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²

E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
