Answer:

(a) 9439.8 nm

(b) infrared

Explanation:

Temperature, T = 34°C = 307 K

(a)

According to the Wein's displacement law

\lambda _{m}\times T = b

where, b is the Wein's constant.

b = 2.898 x 10^-3 metre kelvin

λm x 307 = 2.898 x 10^-3

λm = 9.44 x 10^-6 m = 9439.8 nm

(b) it lies in infrared radiation.

A 4kg block is sliding on a horizontal frictionless floor at a speed of 2.5ms and runs into a horizontal spring. The spring has
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mas of block m=4\ kg

speed of block v=2.5\ m/s

spring constant k=30\ N-m

As the mass collides with the spring its kinetic energy is converted to the Elastic Potential energy of the spring

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

x=v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

x=2.5\times \sqrt{\frac{4}{30}}

x=0.912\ m

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

Explanation:

Given :

Mass m = 2 Kg

Spring constant k = 450 \frac{N}{m}

According to the hooke's law,

  F = -kx

Where F = force, x = displacement

Here,

F = mg         ( g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

F = 2 \times 9.8 = 19.6 N

Now for finding displacement,

  x = \frac{F}{k}

Here minus sign only represent the direction so we take magnitude of it.

  x = \frac{19.6}{450}

  x = 0.043 m

Therefore, the displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

joja [24]

Answer:

a) 0.500 s

b) greater than 0.500 s

c) greater than 0.500 s

Explanation:

The time period of an oscillating spring-mass system is given by:

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

where, m is the mass and k is the spring constant.

a) As the period of oscillation does not depend on the distance by which the mass is pulled, the period would remain same as 0.500 s for the given system.

b) As the period varies inversely with the square root of spring constant, so with the decrease in the spring constant, the period would increase. So, the new period would be greater than 0.500 s.

c) As the period varies directly with the square root of mass, so with the increase in mass, the period will also increase. The new period will be greater than 0.500 s.
