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.

a. For a spring-mass oscillator, if you double the mass but keep the stiffness the same, by what numerical factor does the perio
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

a) factor b=\sqrt{2}

b) factor b=\frac{1}{2}

c) factor b=1

d) factor b=1

Explanation:

Time period of oscillating spring-mass system is given as:

T=\frac{1}{f}

T={2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

where:

f= frequency of oscillation

m= mass of the object attached to the spring

k= stiffness constant of the spring

a) <u>On doubling the mass:</u>

  • New mass, m'=2m

<u>Then the new time period:</u>

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m'}{k} }

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{2m}{k} }

T'=\sqrt{2}\times  2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } }

T'=\sqrt{2} \times T

where the factor b=\sqrt{2} as asked in the question.

b) On quadrupling the stiffness constant while other factors are constant:

New stiffness constant, k'=4k

<u>Then the new time period:</u>

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k'} }\\\\T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{4k} }\\\\T'=\frac{1}{2} \times  2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } }\\\\T'=\frac{1}{2} \times T

where the factor  b=\frac{1}{2}  as asked in the question.

c) On quadrupling the stiffness constant as well as mass:

New stiffness constant, k'=4k

New mas, m'=4m

<u>Then the new time period:</u>

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m'}{k'} }\\\\T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{4m}{4k} }\\\\T'=1 \times  2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } }\\\\T'=1 \times T

where factor b=1 as asked in the question.

d) On quadrupling the amplitude there will be no effect on the time period because T is independent of amplitude as we can observe in the equation.

so, factor b=1

Give three factors that affected the kinetic energy of the person as she reached the bottom
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

As the person moves down the zip wire, her increase in kinetic energy is less than her decrease in gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Work is done against the air resistance, causing thermal energy to transfer to the surroundings

A blue puck has a velocity of 0i – 3j m/s and a mass of 4 kg. A gold puck has a velocity of 12i – 5j m/s and a mass of 6 kg. Wha
Mnenie [13.5K]
By definition, the kinetic energy is given by:
 K = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 where
 m = mass
 v = speed
 We must then find the speed of both objects:
 blue puck
 v = root ((0) ^ 2 + (- 3) ^ 2) = 3
 gold puck
 v = root ((12) ^ 2 + (- 5) ^ 2) = 13
 Then, the kinetic energy of the system will be:
 K = (1/2) * m1 * v1 ^ 2 + (1/2) * m2 * v2 ^ 2
 K = (1/2) * (4) * (3 ^ 2) + (1/2) * (6) * (13 ^ 2)
 K = <span> 525</span> J

 The kinetic energy of the system is<span> <span>525 </span></span>J

You drop your keys in a high-speed elevator going up at a constant speed. Part APart complete Do the keys accelerate faster towa
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

a) No, the keys were initially moving upward in the elevator only effects the initial velocity of the key and not the rate of change of velocity that is acceleration. So, the keys accelerate with the same acceleration as before.

b)Yes, keys will accelerate towards the floor faster if it is a constant speed than it is moving downward because if the elevator is accelerating downward, the downward change in velocity of the keys is at least partially matched by a downward change in the velocity of the of the elevator.

Match each type of consequence with its resulting behavior change
ira [324]

Answer:

Janet stops parking in handicapped spaces after she gets a big parking ticket. - Positive Punishment

Peter’s recess is taken away to discourage him from getting into fights with the other children. - Negative Punishment

Ted increases paying his bills on time to avoid a late fee. - Negative Reinforcement

Sally increases the amount of work she completes to receive more pay. - Positive Reinforcement

Explanation:

In operant conditioning, the main principle is that behavior increases or decreases its frequency depending on whether it's reinforced or punished. A behavior can be reinforced by giving something the subject appreciates, like more pay for their work (positive reinforcement) or taking away something they dislike, like late fees (negative reinforcement). Punishments work the same way, you can give something the subject dislikes, like a parking ticket, (positive punishment) or taking away something they like recess for a child. (negative punishment).
