Answer:
Star A has a higher surface temperature than star B.
Explanation:
The effective temperature of a star can be determined by means of its spectrum and Wien's displacement law:
[tex]T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}[/tex] (1)
Where T is the effective temperature of the star and [tex]\lambda_{max}[/tex] is the maximum peak of emission.
A body that is hot enough emits light as a consequence of its temperature. For example, if an iron bar is put in contact with fire, it will start to change colors as the temperature increase, until it gets to a blue color, that scenario is known as Wien's displacement law. Which establishes that the peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase and higher wavelengths as the temperature decreases.
Therefore, star A has a higher surface temperature than star B, as it is shown in equation 1 since T and [tex]\lambda max[/tex] are inversely proportional.
The generator in a purely inductive AC circuit has an angular frequency of 363 rad/s. If the maximum voltage is 169 V and the inductance is 0.0937 H, what is the rms current in the circuit
Answer:
The rms current in the circuit is 3.513 A
Explanation:
Given;
angular frequency of the inductor, ω = 363 rad/s
maximum voltage of the inductive AC, V₀ = 169 V
Inductance of the inductor, L = 0.0937 H
Inductive reactance is given by;
[tex]X_L = 2\pi f L= \omega L[/tex]
[tex]X_L = 363 *0.0937\\\\X_L = 34.0131 \ ohms[/tex]
The rms voltage is given by;
[tex]V_{rms} = \frac{V_o}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\V_{rms} =\frac{169}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\V_{rms} = 119.5 \ V[/tex]
The rms current in the circuit is given by;
[tex]I_{rms} = \frac{V_{rms}}{X_L} \\\\I_{rms} = \frac{119.5}{34.0131} \\\\I_{rms} = 3.513 \ A[/tex]
Therefore, the rms current in the circuit is 3.513 A

What is objective lens?The objective lens of a microscope is the one at the bottom near the sample. At its simplest, it is a very high-powered magnifying glass, with very short focal length. This is brought very close to the specimen being examined so that the light from the specimen comes to a focus inside the microscope tube
For image formation in objective lens
object distance u = 14 +1 = 15 mm
focal length f = 14 mm .
image distance v = ?

200cm
Explanation:
Answer:
100cm
Explanation:

"Determine the magnitude of the net force of gravity acting on the Moon during an eclipse when it is directly between Earth and the Sun."
Answer:
Net force = 2.3686 × 10^(20) N
Explanation:
To solve this, we have to find the force of the earth acting on the moon and the force of the sun acting on the moon and find the difference.
Now, from standards;
Mass of earth;M_e = 5.98 × 10^(24) kg
Mass of moon;M_m = 7.36 × 10^(22) kg
Mass of sun;M_s = 1.99 × 10^(30) kg
Distance between the sun and earth;d_se = 1.5 × 10^(11) m
Distance between moon and earth;d_em = 3.84 × 10^(8) m
Distance between sun and moon;d_sm = (1.5 × 10^(11)) - (3.84 × 10^(8)) = 1496.96 × 10^(8) m
Gravitational constant;G = 6.67 × 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²
Now formula for gravitational force between the earth and the moon is;
F_em = (G × M_e × M_m)/(d_em)²
Plugging in relevant values, we have;
F_em = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 × 10^(24) × 7.36 × 10^(22))/(3.84 × 10^(8))²
F_em = 1.9909 × 10^(20) N
Similarly, formula for gravitational force between the sun and moon is;
F_sm = (G × M_s × M_m)/(d_sm)²
Plugging in relevant values, we have;
F_se = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 1.99 × 10^(30) ×
7.36 × 10^(22))/(1496.96 × 10^(8))²
F_se = 4.3595 × 10^(20) N
Thus, net force = F_se - F_em
Net force = (4.3595 × 10^(20) N) - (1.9909 × 10^(20) N) = 2.3686 × 10^(20) N
What is the pathway of sound through fluids starting at the oval window through to dissipation of the sound waves at the round window
Transistor circuits are sometimes referred to as switching circuits - Why is this?
Explanation:
One of the most common uses for transistors in an electronic circuit is as simple switches. In short, a transistor conducts current across the collector-emitter path only when a voltage is applied to the base. When no base voltage is present, the switch is off. When base voltage is present, the switch is on.
A foot is 12 inches and a mile is 5280I ft exactly. A centimeter is exactly 0.01m or mm. Sammy is 5 feet and 5.3tall. what is Sammy's height in inches?
Answer:
65.3 Inches tall
Explanation:
If Sammy is 5 feet and 5.3 inches tall, we simply need to convert the feet to inches, and sum the remaining inches from his height to determine his overall height in inches.
So, 5 feet = (12 inches/1foot) * (5 feet) = 60 inches
And 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches.
Hence, Sammy is 65.3 inches tall.
Cheers.
This problem explores the behavior of charge on conductors. We take as an example a long conducting rod suspended by insulating strings. Assume that the rod is initially electrically neutral. For convenience we will refer to the left end of the rod as end A, and the right end of the rod as end B. In the answer options for this problem, "strongly attracted/repelled" means "attracted/repelled with a force of magnitude similar to that which would exist between two charged balls.A. A small metal ball is given a negative charge, then brought near (i.e., within about 1/10 the length of the rod) to end A of the rod. What happens to end A of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time?
What happens to end A of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time?a. It is strongly repelled.b. It is strongly attracted.c. It is weakly attracted.d. It is weakly repelled.e. It is neither attracted nor repelled.
Answer:
e. It is neither attracted nor repelled.
Explanation:
Electrostatic attraction or repulsion occurs between two or more charged particles or conductors. In this case, if the negatively charged ball is brought close to the neutral end A of the rod, there would be no attraction or repulsion between the rod end A and the negatively charged ball. This is because a charged particle or conductor has no attraction or repulsion to a neutral particle or conductor.

What would be the radius of a black hole with this mass?
Answer:
The radius of the black hole will be 2949.6 m.
Explanation:
The radius of this black hole will be the Schwarzschild radius of the mass of the sun
[tex]r_{s}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2GM}{c^{2} }[/tex]
where
G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^-11 m^3⋅kg^-1⋅s^-2
M is the mass of the sun = 1.99×10^30 kg
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
substituting values into the equation, we have
[tex]r_{s}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2*6.67*10^{-11}*1.99*10^{30} }{(3*10^{8} )^{2} }[/tex] = 2949.6 m
A uniform narrow tube 1.90 m long is open at both ends. It resonates at two successive harmonics of frequencies 280 Hz and 294 Hz.(a) What is the fundamental frequency?_____Hz(b) What is the speed of sound in the gas in the tube?________ m/s
Answer:
a)14Hz
b)26.6m/s
Explanation:
a)we were given
the first harmonics frequencies as 280 Hz
The second harmonic frequency as 294 Hz.
The fundamental frequency is equal to the gap which means the distance that exist between the harmonics, then
the fundamental frequency=(294 - 280 = 10 Hz)
= 14Hz
b) We know the frequency and the wavelength of the sound wave (
We were told that the wavelength must be twice the length of the tube then, velocity can be calculated as
And fundamental frequency= 14Hz, and distance of 1.90 m then
v = f*2L = (14Hz)*2*(1.90 m) = 26.6m/s
Therefore, the speed of sound in the gas in the tubes is 26.6m/s

(a) The resistance R of the wire(b) The resistivity p, and(c) The number n of free electrons per unit volume.
Explanation:
According to Ohms Law :
V = I * R
(A) R (Resistance) = 0.022 / 0.75 = 0.03 Ohms
Also,
[tex]r = \alpha \frac{length}{area} = \alpha \frac{5.8}{3.14 \times 0.001 \times 0.001} [/tex]
(B)
[tex] \alpha(resistivity) = 1.62 \times {10}^{ - 8} [/tex]
Drift speed is missing. It is given as;
1.7 × 10^(-5) m/s
A) R = 0.0293 ohms
B) ρ = 1.589 × 10^(-8)
C) n = 8.8 × 10^(28) electrons
This is about finding, resistance and resistivity.
We are given;Length; L = 5.8 m
Diameter; d = 2mm = 0.002 m
Radius; r = d/2 = 0.001 m
Voltage; V = 22 mv = 0.022 V
Current; I = 750 mA = 0.75 A
Area; A = πr² = 0.001²π
Drift speed; v_d = 1.7 × 10^(-5) m/s
A) Formula for resistance is;R = V/I
R = 0.022/0.75
R = 0.0293 ohms
B) formula for resistivity is given by;ρ = RA/L
ρ = (0.0293 × 0.001²π)/5.8
ρ = 1.589 × 10^(-8)
C) Formula for current density is given by;J = n•e•v_d
Where;
J = I/A = 0.75/0.001²π A/m² = 238732.44 A/m²
e is charge on an electron = 1.6 × 10^(-19) C
v_d = 1.7 × 10^(-5) m/s
n is number of free electrons per unit volume
Thus;
238732.44 = n(1.6 × 10^(-19) × 1.7 × 10^(-5))
238732.44 = (2.72 × 10^(-24))n
n = 238732.44/(2.72 × 10^(-24))
n = 8.8 × 10^(28)

A professor, with dumbbells in his hands and holding his arms out, is spinning on a turntable with an angular velocity. What happens after he pulls his arms inwards
Answer:
His angular velocity will increase.
Explanation:
According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.
The angular momentum of a system = [tex]I[/tex]'ω'
where
[tex]I[/tex]' is the initial rotational inertia
ω' is the initial angular velocity
the rotational inertia = [tex]mr'^{2}[/tex]
where m is the mass of the system
and r' is the initial radius of rotation
Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.
we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to [tex]I[/tex].
From
[tex]I[/tex]'ω' = [tex]I[/tex]ω
since [tex]I[/tex] is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'
therefore, the angular velocity increases.
An optical disk drive in your computer can spin a disk up to 10,000 rpm (about 1045 rad/s ). If a particular disk is spun at 998.0 rad/s while it is being read, and then is allowed to come to rest over 0.502 seconds , what is the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the disk?
Answer:
1988.05 rad/s^2
Explanation:
The angular speed of the optical disk ω = 998.0 rad/s
the time taken to come to rest t = 0.502 s
The magnitude of the average angular acceleration ∝ = ω/t
∝ = 998.0/0.502 = 1988.05 rad/s^2
The magnitude of the Poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.724 W/m2. What is the maximum value of the magnetic field in the wave
Answer:
7.78x10^-8T
Explanation:
The Pointing Vector S is
S = (1/μ0) E × B
at any instant, where S, E, and B are vectors. Since E and B are always perpendicular in an EM wave,
S = (1/μ0) E B
where S, E and B are magnitudes. The average value of the Pointing Vector is
<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] E0 B0
where E0 and B0 are amplitudes. (This can be derived by finding the rms value of a sinusoidal wave over an integer number of wavelengths.)
Also at any instant,
E = c B
where E and B are magnitudes, so it must also be true at the instant of peak values
E0 = c B0
Substituting for E0,
<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] (c B0) B0 = [c/(2 μ0)] (B0)²
Solve for B0.

A spark is generated in an automobile spark plug when there is an electric potential of 3000 V across the electrode gap. If 60 W of power is generated in a single spark that delivers a total charge of 3 nC, how long does it take for the spark to travel across the gap?
A. 50 ns
B. 75 ns
C. 125 ns
D. 150 ns
E. 225 ns 5
Answer:
The correct option is d
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The electric potential is [tex]V = 3000 \ V[/tex]
The power is [tex]P = 60 \ W[/tex]
The charge delivered is [tex]q = 3nC = 3.0 *10^{-9} \ C[/tex]
Generally the power generated is mathematically represented as
[tex]P = I V[/tex]
=> [tex]I = \frac{P}{V }[/tex]
=> [tex]I = \frac{60 }{3000 }[/tex]
=> [tex]I = 0.02 \ A[/tex]
This current flow is mathematically represented as
[tex]I = \frac{q -q_o}{\Delta t }[/tex]
Where [tex]q_o[/tex] is the charge delivered at t=0 s which is 0s
So
[tex]0.02 = \frac{ (3.0 *10^{-9}) -0 }{t - 0 }[/tex]
[tex]t = 1.50 *10^{-7 } \ s[/tex]
[tex]t = 150 *10^{-9 } \ s[/tex]

If you weigh 685 N on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 25.0 km
CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW
you weigh 685 NN on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 25.0 kmkm ? Take the mass of the sun to be msmsm_s = 1.99×1030 kgkg , the gravitational constant to be GGG = 6.67×10−11 N⋅m2/kg2N⋅m2/kg2 , and the free-fall acceleration at the earth's surface to be ggg = 9.8 m/s2m/s2 .
Answer:
5.94×10^15N
Explanation:
the weight on the surface of a neutron star can be calculated by below expresion
W= Mg
W= weight of the person
m= mass of the person
g=gravity of the neutron star
But we need the mass which can be calculated as
m= W/g
m= 685/9.81
m= 69.83kg
From the gravitational law equation we have
F= GMm/r^2
G= gravitational constant = 6.67x10⁻¹¹
M= mass of the neutron star = 1.99x10³⁰ kg
r = distance between the person and the surface
Then r can be calculated as = 25/2 = 12.5 km , we divide by two because it's the distance between the person and the surface
g=gravity of the neutron star can be calculated as
g=(6.67×10^-11 ×1.99×10^30)/(12.5×10^3)^2
= 8.50×10^13m/s^2
Then from W= mg we can find our weight
W= 8.50×10^13m/s^2 × 69.83
= 5.94×10^15N
Therefore, weight on the surface of a neutron star is 5.94×10^15N

Complete question is;
A circuit consists of four 100-W lamps connected in parallel across a 230-V supply. Inadvertently, a voltmeter has been connected in series with the lamps. The resistance of the voltmeter is 1500 Ω and that of the lamps under the conditions stated is six times their value then burning normally. What will be the reading of the voltmeter?
Answer:
150.42 V
Explanation:
We are told that the circuit consists of four 100W lamps.
We know that Power is given by the equation;
P = V²/R
Thus;
R = V²/P
Now, we are told that the four lamps are connected in parallel across a 230V supply.
Thus, V = 230 V
So resistance, R = 230²/100
R = 529 Ω
We are told that the resistance of the lamps under the conditions stated is six times their value when burning normally.
Thus, total resistance of each lamp under the conditions = 529 × 6 = 3174 Ω
So, since they are connected in parallel, equivalent resistance for each lamp = 3174/4 = 793.5 Ω
Now, since this resistance is connected in series with the voltmeter resistance of 1500 Ω
Therefore, total circuit resistance = 1500 + 793.5 = 2293.5 Ω
Thus;
circuit current = 230/2293.5 = 0.100283 A
Now, according to Ohm’s law, voltage drop across the voltmeter = 1500 × 0.100283 ≈ 150.42V

A circuit consists of four 100-W lamps connected in parallel across a 230-V supply. Inadvertently, a voltmeter has been connected in series with the lamps. The resistance of the voltmeter is 1500 Ω and that of the lamps under the conditions stated is six times their value then burning normally. What will be the reading of the voltmeter?
Answer:
the reading of the voltmeter=150.4V
Explanation:
We can determine the wattage of a lamp using below expression:
: W = I² R....................eqn(1)
But fro ohms law V=IR
then I= V/R
If we substitute I into equation (1)
We have W= V²/R
But W= 100W
V= 230V
Then
W=220²/R
100 = 2302/R
R = 529 Ω
We can as well calculate the Resistance of each lamp under given condition that they are sixtimes their value when burning normally.
R = 6 × 529 = 3174 Ω
We can also calculate quivalent resistance of the abovefour lamps connected in parallel then
R = 3174/4
= 793.5 Ω
total circuit resistance can be calculated since we know that resistance is connected to voltmeter of 1500 Ω resistance in series arrangement
Then
total circuit resistance = 1500 + 793.5
= 2293.5 Ω
Then from ohms law again
I= V/R
circuit current = 230/2293.5 A
The reading of the voltage drop across the voltmeter
= 1500 × 230/2293.5
= 150.4V
An oil film (n = 1.48) of thickness 290 nm floating on water is illuminated with white light at normal incidence. What is the wavelength of the dominant color in the reflected light? A. Blue (470 nm) B. Green (541 nm) C. Violet (404 nm) D. Yellow (572 nm)
Answer:
The correct option is D
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The refractive index of oil film is [tex]k = 1.48[/tex]
The thickness is [tex]t = 290 \ nm = 290*10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
Generally for constructive interference
[tex]2t = [m + \frac{1}{2} ]* \frac{\lambda}{k}[/tex]
For reflection of a bright fringe m = 1
=> [tex]2 * (290*10^{-9}) = [1 + \frac{1}{2} ]* \frac{\lambda}{1.48}[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = 5.723 *10^{-7} \ m[/tex]
This wavelength fall in the range of a yellow light
