In 1800, Herschel wondered if the different colors of the rainbow were equal in brightness and heat. He used a prism to separate

sunlight into it's different colors and thermometers to measure how much "heat energy" was included with each color. He also measured how much "brightness" was associated with each color. He noticed a "brightness" peak at the middle of the spectrum. Red and violet had the least amount of brightness with a "peak" at green and yellow. But for "heat energy", violet had the least and the amount of heat climbed more and more and showed no sign of a "peak" .
His observations supported the idea that neither Brightness nor heat were evenly distributed between the different colors. Some colors had more brightness (green and yellow) and a different color had the most heat (red).

But this lead to a new question. Did the "heat" exist even where there was no visible light and did it peak at wavelengths less than red. He did another set of experiments and found this to be the case. He again used a prism to separate sunlight into the colors of the rainbow. These colors were cast on a sheet of paper and a thermometer could be moved from one color to the next to measure the amount of heat. But this time, he moved the thermometers beyond the red light and made measurements on the paper where there was no visible light. He found the maximum amount of heat at wavelengths longer visible red light.


When Herschel selected where to place his thermometer and then measure the temperature, which variable was the Independent variable.

Question options:

A. The time of day


B. The month of the year


C. the temperature rise


D. the placement of the thermometer

Two small aluminum spheres, each of mass 0.0250 kilograms, areseparated by 80.0 centimeters.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Total number of electrons

N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}

electrons removed from each sphere

N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}

Explanation:

As we know that moles is defined as

n =\frac{mass}{molar mass}

n = \frac{0.0250}{0.026982}

n = 0.93

so number of atoms of Al in each sphere is given as

N = 0.93(6.02 \times 10^{23})

N = 5.58 \times 10^{23}

Now number of electrons in each atom is given as

atomic number = number of electrons in each atom = 13

total number of electrons in each sphere is

N = 13 \times (5.58 \times 10^{23})

N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}

Also we know that force of attraction between them is given as

F= \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

1.00 \times 10^4 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)q^2}{0.80^2}

q = 8.4 \times 10^{-4} C

now we have

q = Ne

8.4 \times 10^{-4} = N(1.6 \times 10^{-19}

N = \frac{(8.4 \times 10^{-4})}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

f = \frac{5.27 \times 10^{15}}{7.25 \times 10^{24}}

f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}

Hello <span>Andijwiltbank

Question: <span>Often what one expects to see influences what is perceived in the surrounding environment. True or False?

Answer: True

Reason: What we observe about the environment decides what we believe about it and how we react.

Now that we have a feel for the state of the circuit in its steady state, let us obtain the expression for the current in the ci
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

i(t) = (E/R)[1 - exp(-Rt/L)]

Explanation:

E−vR−vL=0

E− iR− Ldi/dt = 0

E− iR = Ldi/dt

Separating te variables,

dt/L = di/(E - iR)

Let x = E - iR, so dx = -Rdi and di = -dx/R substituting for x and di we have

dt/L = -dx/Rx

-Rdt/L = dx/x

interating both sides, we have

∫-Rdt/L = ∫dx/x

-Rt/L + C = ㏑x

x = exp(-Rt/L + C)

x = exp(-Rt/L)exp(C)     A = exp(C) we have

x = Aexp(-Rt/L) Substituting x = E - iR we have

E - iR = Aexp(-Rt/L) when t = 0, i(0) = 0. So

E - i(0)R = Aexp(-R×0/L)

E - 0 = Aexp(0) = A × 1

E = A

So,

E - i(t)R = Eexp(-Rt/L)

i(t)R = E - Eexp(-Rt/L)

i(t)R = E(1 - exp(-Rt/L))

i(t) = (E/R)(1 - exp(-Rt/L))

4. A trolley of mass 2kg rests next to a trolley of mass 3 kg on a flat
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s

lidiya [134]

Answer:

ma= ma

m⋅a = m⋅a

And equivalently:

am=ma

a⋅m = m⋅a

Explanation:

Question

Assuming this question "Similar to what you see in your textbook, you can generally omit the multiplication symbol as you answer questions online, except when the symbol is  needed to make your meaning clear. For example, 1*10^5 is not the same as 110^5 . When you need to be explicit, type * (Shift + 8) to insert the multiplication operator. You will see a multiplication dot (⋅) appear in the answer box. Do not use the symbol x. For example, for the expression ma,

typing m⋅a would be correct, but mxa would be incorrect".

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to write a expression for ma, and based on the previous info we can write:

ma= ma

m⋅a = m⋅a

And equivalently:

am=ma

a⋅m = m⋅a

But is not correct do this:

mxa=mxa

axm = mxa
