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.

A cliff diver running 3.60 m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and reaches the water below 2.00 s later

mart [117]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The horizontal speed of a cliff diver, $v_x=3.6\ m/s$

It reaches the water below 2.00 s later, t = 2 s

Let $d_x$ is the distance where the diver hit the water. It can be calculated as follows :

$d_x=v_x\times t\\\\=3.6\times 2\\\\=7.2\ m$

Let $d_y$ is the height of the cliff. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as follows :

$d_y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d_y=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 2^2\\\\=19.6\ m$

So, the cliff is 19.6 m high and it will hit the water at a distance of 19.6 m.

The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring constant = 1600 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of mass

Triss [41]

Answer:

$\Delta x=245\ mm$

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant of the spring attached to the input piston, $k=1600\ N.m^{-1}$

mass subjected to the output plunger, $m=40\ kg$

<u>Now, the force due to the mass:</u>

$F=m.g$

$F=40\times 9.8$

$F=392\ N$

<u>Compression in Spring:</u>

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}$

$\Delta x=\frac{392}{1600}$

$\Delta x=0.245\ m$

$\Delta x=245\ mm$

A) The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion

suter [353]

A) The mass of the continent is $2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg$

B) The kinetic energy is 2016 J

C) The speed of the jogger should be 7.1 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the continent can be calculated as

$m = \rho V$

where

$\rho = 2800 kg/m^3$ is its density

V is its volume

We have to calculate its volume. We know that the continent is represented as a slab of side 5900 km (so its surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth of 26 km, so its volume is:

$V=(5900 km)^2 (26 km)=9.05\cdot 10^8 km^3 =9.05 \cdot 10^8 \cdot (10^9 m^3/k^3)=9.05\cdot 10^7 m^3$
