The sun radiates most strongly at a wavelength of about 550 nm. a star that radiated most strongly at 400 nm would be

1 answer:

5 0

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.

Answer:

a) $v_{1}=\frac{x_{2}-x_{1} }{t_{2}-t_{1} }=\frac{(2(\frac{25}{3})-\frac{25}{3} )m}{3.9s-1.3s} =3.2051 \frac{m}{s}$

b) $v_{2}=\frac{x_{3}-x_{2} }{t_{3}-t_{2} }=\frac{(25-2(\frac{25}{3}) )m}{5.5s-3.9s} =5.2083 \frac{m}{s}$

c) $a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1} }{t_{2}-t_{1} } =\frac{5.2083m/s-3.2051m/s}{5.5s-3.9s} =1.252 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

The knowable variables are

$d_{t}=25m$

$t_{1}=1.3 s$

$t_{2}=3.9 s$

$t_{3}=5.5 s$

Since the three traffic signs are equally spaced, the distance between each sign is $\frac{25}{3} m$

a) $v_{1}=\frac{x_{2}-x_{1} }{t_{2}-t_{1} }=\frac{(2(\frac{25}{3})-\frac{25}{3} )m}{3.9s-1.3s} =3.2051 \frac{m}{s}$

b) $v_{2}=\frac{x_{3}-x_{2} }{t_{3}-t_{2} }=\frac{(25-2(\frac{25}{3}) )m}{5.5s-3.9s} =5.2083 \frac{m}{s}$

Since we know the velocity in two points and the time the car takes to pass the traffic signs

c) $a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1} }{t_{2}-t_{1} } =\frac{5.2083m/s-3.2051m/s}{5.5s-3.9s} =1.252 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

A device used to increase or decrease the emf in the second of two unconnected coils is a

grigory [225]

The answer is transformer. They utilize electromagnetic induction to generate current. This is only possible in alternating current due to the differential increase and decrease of electrical current that induces changes in magnetic flux in the coil. This varies the magnetic flux of the primary coil that generates current in the secondary coil.
