The answer is D. Blackbody radiation. The piece of iron glows red because its temperature is around 1000 K, then yellow because its temperature is around 2800 K, and then white because its temperature is around 5500K. This shows that the spectrum of the radiation is determined by absolute temperature, as when the temperature of a blackbody radiator increases, the peak of the radiation curve moves to shorter wavelengths.

A student lifts a 50 pound (lb) ball 4 feet (ft) in 5 seconds (s). How many joules of work has the student completed?
Elis [28]

           Work = (weight) x (distance)

  Work = (50 lb) x (1 kg / 2.20462 lb) x (9.81 newton/kg)

                           x (4 feet) x (1 meter / 3.28084 feet)

           = (50 x 9.81 x 4) / (2.20462 x 3.28084)  newton-meter

           =        271.3 joules .

We don't need to know how long the lift took, unless we
want to know how much power he was able to deliver.

                   Power = (work) / (time)    

                               = (271.3 joule) / (5 sec)  =  54.3 watts .
________________________________________

The easy way:

         Work = (weight) x (distance)

                
  = (50 pounds) x (4 feet)  =  200 foot-pounds

Look up (online) how many joules there are in 1 foot-pound.

There are  1.356 joules in 1 foot-pound.

So  200 foot-pounds = (200 x 1.356) = 271.2 joules.

That's the easy way.

A truck collides with a car on horizontal ground. At one moment during the collision, the magnitude of the acceleration of the t
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the truck, a_t = 12.7 m/s²

mass of the truck, m_t = 2490 kg

mass of the car, m_c = 890 kg

let the acceleration of the car at the moment they collided = a_c

Apply Newton's third law of motion;

Magnitude of force exerted by the truck = Magnitude of force exerted by the car.

The force exerted by the car occurs in the opposite direction.

F_c = -F_t\\\\m_ca_c = -m_t a_t\\\\a_c =- \frac{m_ta_t}{m_c} \\\\a_c = -\frac{2490 \times 12.7}{890} \\\\a_c = - 35.53 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

trapecia [35]

<span>The scientific investigation has  five basic steps and one feedback step: (1) to make an observation (2) to ask a question (3) hypothesize (4) predict and (5) make a new hypothesis based on the results.  What is unusual about the description of Elyse’s scientific investigation is she did not follow the basic steps. She should have done observation first before asking a question and forming a hypothesis. </span>

A sphere has surface area 1.25 m2, emissivity 1.0, and temperature 100.0°C. What is the rate at which it radiates heat into empt
Yuri [45]
The total power emitted by an object via radiation is:
P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4
where:
A is the surface of the object (in our problem, A=1.25 m^2
\epsilon is the emissivity of the object (in our problem, \epsilon=1)
\sigma = 5.67 \cdot 10^{-8} W/(m^2 K^4) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature of the object, which in our case is T=100^{\circ} C=373 K

Substituting these values, we find the power emitted by radiation:
P=(1.25 m^2)(1.0)(5.67 \cdot 10^{-8}W/(m^2K^4)})(373 K)^4=1371 W = 1.4 kW
So, the correct answer is D.
