550 nm is in the visible spectrum. 400 nm is in the ultra-violet spectrum.  The shorter the wavelength, the bigger the energy of the light photon emitted. Therefore a star that emits 400 nm photons, is hotter than the Sun. A star that is hotter is either bigger than the Sun (and has about the same age), either younger than the Sun (and has about the same dimension). 
Therefore a star that radiates at 400 nm would be hotter, bigger and younger than the Sun.

Who pays for Government workers that work on alcohol impaired driving cases?
Shalnov [3]

Answer: Taxpayers

Explanation:

Taking alcohol before driving or while driving is dangerous and has resulted in lots of accidents and deaths. Alcohol tampers with the normal functioning of the brain, and also impairs ones reasoning.

Alcohol impaired driving cases handled by government officials are paid for by the taxpayers. A tax is the levy that the people in the country pays. Those funds are used in handling different government objectives and this is one of such ways.

the temperature of a 2.0-kg increases by 5*c when 2,000 J of thermal energy are added to the block. What is the specific heat of
nata0808 [166]
To calculate the specific heat capacity of an object or substance, we can use the formula

c = E / m△T

Where
c as the specific heat capacity,
E as the energy applied (assume no heat loss to surroundings),
m as mass and
△T as the energy change.

Now just substitute the numbers given into the equation.

c = 2000 / 2 x 5
c = 2000/ 10
c = 200

Therefore we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the block is 200 Jkg^-1°C^-1

A capacitor, C1, consists of two parallel circular plates with radius R and separation of d. A second capacitor, C2, consists of
qaws [65]

Answer:

\frac{E_1}{E_2}= 4

Explanation:

Capacitance C is given by

C= \frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}

A= area of capacitor cross section

d= distance

therefore,

C_1= \frac{\epsilon_0A_1}{d_1}

A_1= πR^2

d_1= d

C_2= \frac{\epsilon_0A_2}{d_2}

A_= π(2R)^2

d_2 = 2d

q= \frac{\epsilon_0A_1}{d_1}V_1

threfore

V_1= \frac{qd_1}{\epsilon_0A_1}

and

V_2= \frac{qd_2}{\epsilon_0A_2}

also we know that E= V/d

⇒\frac{E_1}{E_2}= \frac{V_1}{V_2}\times\frac{d_2}{d_1}

⇒\frac{E_1}{E_2}= \frac{qd_1}{\epsilon_0A_1}\times\frac{\epsilon_0A_2}{qd_2}\times\frac{d_2}{d_1}

= A_1/A_2= \frac{4R^2}{R^2}=4

therefore,

\frac{E_1}{E_2}= 4
