The intensity at a distance of 6.0 m from a source that is radiating equally in all directions is 6.0 × 10-10 w/m2 . what is the

power emitted by the source?

The intensity is defined as the ratio between the power emitted by the source and the area through which the power is calculated:
$I= \frac{P}{A}$ (1)
where
P is the power
A is the area

In our problem, the intensity is $I=6.0 \cdot 10^{-10} W/m^2$ . At a distance of r=6.0 m from the source, the area intercepted by the radiation (which propagates in all directions) is equal to the area of a sphere of radius r, so:
$A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (6.0 m)^2 = 452.2 m^2$

And so if we re-arrange (1) we find the power emitted by the source:
$P=IA = (6.0 \cdot 10^{-10}W/m^2)(452.2 m^2)=2.7 \cdot 10^{-7} W$

A hockey puck of mass m traveling along the x axis at 4.5 m/s hits another identical hockey puck at rest. If after the collision

TEA [102]

Answer:

D) No, since kinetic energy is not conserved.

Explanation:

Since momentum is always conserved in all collision

so in Y direction we can say

$0 = m(3.5 sin30) - mv_y$

$v_y = 1.75 m/s$

Now similarly in X direction we will have

$m(4.5) = m(3.5 cos30 ) + mv_x$

$v_x = 1.47 m/s$

now final kinetic energy of both puck after collision is given as

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2}m(3.5^2) + \frac{1}{2}m(1.75^2 + 1.47^2)$

$KE_f = 8.73 m$

initial kinetic energy of both pucks is given as

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2}m(4.5^2) + 0$

$KE_i = 10.125 m$

since KE is decreased here so it must be inelastic collision

D) No, since kinetic energy is not conserved.

A spring (k = 802 N/m) is hanging from the ceiling of an elevator, and a 5.0-kg object is attached to the lower end. By how much

love history [14]

Answer:

0.00256 m

Explanation:

For this case, we should use the Hook Law for a spring:

F= -Kx , the negative sign indicates that the force that tries to “restore” the original status of the spring, and is against the force that causes the spring´s displacement

This is, the force F required to stretch an elastic object (for example, a metal spring), is directly proportional the extension “x” of the spring

“x” can be the extension or compression of the spring, and “K” is a constant (in units of N/m)

We also know that, according to Newton´s Law:

F=m*a

m= mass

a= acceleration

Then:

m*a= -Kx

Finally, the spring has an original length of L₀, so:

- If the spring is compressed, the final strength will be: L = L₀ – x

- If the spring is extended, the final strength will be: L = L₀ + x

According to the statement:

K = 802 N/m

a = 0.41 m/s2

m = 5 Kg

Then:

x =- (m*a)/K = (5x0.41)/802 = 0.00256 m (we do not consider the negative sign, due to above explanation: it only indicates that the restoration force is always against the force imposed on the spring )

So, if the spring has an original length of L₀, when the elevator is accelerating upwards, the spring will stretch from L₀ to (L₀ – 0.00256) m

To develop this problem we will proceed to convert all units previously given to the international system for which we have to:

$140 lb = 63.5 kg \rightarrow 63.5kg (9.8m/s) =622.3 N$

$120 lb = 54.4 kg \rightarrow 54.4kg (9.8m/s)= 533 N$

$170 lb = 77.1 kg \rightarrow 77.1 kg (9.8m/s) =756 N$

PART A ) From the given values the minimum acceleration will be given for 120Lb and maximum acceleration when 170Lb is reached therefore:

$F = 756 - 622.3$

$F = 133.7N$

Through the Newtonian relationship of the Force we have to:

$F= ma$

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

$a = \frac{133.7}{63.5}$

$a = 2.1m/s^2$

PART B) For the maximum magnitude of the acceleration downward we have that:

$F = 622.3 - 533$

$F = 89.3N$

Through the Newtonian relationship of the Force we have to:

$F= ma$

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

$a = \frac{89.3}{63.5}$

$a = 2.1m/s^2$

$a = 1.04 m/s^2$

Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.

Why does the closed top of a convertible bulge when the car is riding along a highway? Why does the closed top of a convertible

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Option D

The air pressure inside the car is greater than the pressure outside.

Explanation:

When considering airflow over and around a surface, from Bernoulli's equation, air flow regions with higher velocity have a lower pressure, and regions with lower velocity have a higher pressure.

The air outside the convertible is moving faster than the air inside the convertible. This leads to a higher pressure zone just below the surface of the roof (inside the car) causing the roof of the convertible to bulge upwards
