Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

he first excited state of the helium atom lies at an energy 19.82 eV above the ground state. If this excited state is three-fold
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Relative population is  2.94 x 10⁻¹⁰.

Explanation:

Let N₁ and N₂ be the number of atoms at ground and first excited state of helium respectively and E₁ and E₂ be the ground and first excited state energy of helium respectively.

The ratio of population of atoms as a function of energy and temperature is known as Boltzmann Equation. The equation is:

\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2} } =  \frac{g_{1}e^{\frac{-E_{1} }{KT} }  }{g_{2}e^{\frac{-E_{2} }{KT} }}

\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2} } = \frac{g_{1}e^{\frac{-(E_{1}-E_{2})  }{KT} }  }{g_{2}}

Here g₁ and g₂ be the degeneracy at two levels, K is Boltzmann constant and T is equilibrium temperature.

Put 1 for g₁, 3 for g₂, -19.82 ev for (E₁ - E₂) and 8.6x10⁵ ev/K for K and 10000 k for T in the above equation.

\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2} } = \frac{1\times e^{\frac{-(-19.82)}{8.6\times 10^{-5}\times 10000} }  }{3}

\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2} } = 3.4 x 10⁹

\frac{N_{2} }{N_{1} } =  2.94 x 10⁻¹⁰

A stone is held at a height h above the ground. A second stone with four times the mass of the first one is held at the same hei
QveST [7]

gravitational potential energy is given by formula

U = mgh

here we need to compare the gravitational potential energy of stone 2 with respect to stone 1

so we will say

\frac{U_2}{U_1} = \frac{m_2gh}{m_1gh}

\frac{U_2}{U_1} =\frac{m_2}{m_1}

given that

m_2 = 4 m_1

now we have

\frac{U_2}{U_1} = 4

The cheetah is considered the fastest running animal in the world. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 21.7 m/s in 2.50 s and
viktelen [127]

Answer:

1) 64.2 mi/h

2) 3.31 seconds

3) 47.5 m

4) 5.26 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2.5 s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

v = Final velocity = 21.7 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

1) Top speed = 28.7 m/s

1 mile = 1609.344 m

1\ m=\frac{1}{1609.344}\ miles

1 hour = 60×60 seconds

1\ s=\frac{1}{3600}\ hours

28.7\ m/s=\frac{\frac{28.7}{1609.344}}{\frac{1}{3600}}=64.2\ mi/h

Top speed of the cheetah is 64.2 mi/h

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{21.7-0}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow a=8.68\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the cheetah is 8.68 m/s²

2)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{28.7-0}{8.68}\\\Rightarrow t=3.31\ s

It takes a cheetah 3.31 seconds to reach its top speed.

3)

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{28.7^2-0^2}{2\times 8.68}\\\Rightarrow s=47.5\ m

It travels 47.5 m in that time

4) When s = 120 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 120=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 8.68\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{120\times 2}{8.68}}\\\Rightarrow t=5.26\ s

The time it takes the cheetah to reach a rabbit is 120 m is 5.26 seconds

o illustrate the work-energy concept, consider the case of a stone falling from xi to xf under the influence of gravity. Using t
Phantasy [73]

Answer: force of gravity on the body due to height difference above the earth's surface

Explanation: as you increase the height of a body above ground, you do work against gravity in moving it from a point on the earth's surface to that point. So a body falling has a stored up gravito-potential energy which acts on it downward due to its mass, accelerating it downwards

Answer b): kinetic energy of the body

Explanation: the downward force produces an acceleration of magnitude 9.81m/s2 downwards which means an increasing velocity. This increasing velocity means the kinetic energy of the body is increasing (kinetic energy is proportional to velocity of the body squared)
