The lights used by Mark Watley (played by Matt Damon) during the film The Martian seem to be Metal Halide lamps. Metal Halide la

mps are filled with vaporized mercury and metal-halogen compounds. When an electric current is passed through the lamp, the tube begins to glow a bright white/blue color. If you were to pass this light through a prism to separate the individual light frequencies, you would see a rainbow just as you would if using natural sunlight because of the complexity of the metal halide gas and the vast amount of possible electron transitions. (The study of light in this way is known as spectroscopy and allows astronomers to know exactly what atoms compose distant stars, simply by looking at the light they emit. The spectral lines an atom produces uniquely identifies that atom just like a fingerprint uniquely identifies a person. The momentum equation and energy equation that we have used above can be combined to give the following equation: c = E p where again p is the photon momentum, E is the photon energy and c is the speed of light. When you divide the photon energy found in #6 by the photon momentum found in #4, do you get the speed of light

Answer:

As stated, the speed of light is being reached.

Explanation:

The speed of light can be expressed as:

C=\frac{E}{P}

Where E represents energy = 3.03x10⁻¹⁹J

P signifies momentum = 1.01x10⁻²⁷kgm/s

Substituting in:

C=\frac{3.03x10^{-19} }{1.01x10^{-27} } =3x10^{8} m/s

An object is attached to a hanging unstretched ideal and massless spring and slowly lowered to its equilibrium position, a dista
Sav [3153]

Answer:

        h = 12.8 cm

Explanation:

The initial parameters are as follows:

distance = 6.4 cm

  • when the object descends, its weight matches the spring's force

        weight = spring force

         mg = ky... equation 1

  • potential energy stored in a stretched spring = work done by the spring

        mgh = 0.5 x k x h^{2}....equation 2

  • Substituting from equation 1 into equation 2

                kyh =  0.5 x k x h^{2}

                y =  0.5 x h

                2y = h

  • where y is 6.4, yielding the maximum elongation as

          h = 2 x 6.4 = 12.8 cm

If you secure a refrigerator magnet about 2mmfrom the metallic surface of a refrigerator door and then move the magnet sideways,
Yuliya22 [3333]

Response:

(A) 4* 6 ^ ⁻6 T m² (B) 2 * 10 ^ ⁻6 v

Clarification:

Solution

Given that:

A refrigerator magnet with a depth of approximately 2 mm

The estimated magnetic field strength of the magnet is = 5 m T

The Area = 8 cm²

Now,

(A) The magnetic flux ΦB = BA

Therefore,

ΦB = (5 * 10^⁻ 3) ( 4 * 10 ^⁻2) * ( 2 * 10^ ⁻2) Tm²

Thus,

ΦB = 4* 6 ^ ⁻6 T m²

(B) By employing Faraday's Law, the subsequent equation applies:

Ε = Bℓυ

Where,

ℓ = 2 cm equals 2 * 10 ^⁻2 m

B = 5 m T = 5 * 10 ^ ⁻3 T

υ = 2 cm/s = 2 * 10 ^ ⁻2 m/s

Therefore,

Ε = (5 * 10 ^ ⁻3 T) * (2 * 10 ^ ⁻2) (2 * 10 ^ ⁻2) v

E =2 * 10 ^ ⁻6 v

The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The correct option is 80 dB.

Explanation:

The transformation of sound intensity level into sound intensity utilizes the formula

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

Where I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

[D] results in 100 dB

100 = 10 log (I/I₀)

Log (I/I₀) converts to 10

(I/I₀) = 10¹⁰

I is determined as I₀ × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻¹² × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻² W/m²

Sound intensity inversely relates to the square of the distance from the source.

I ∝ (1/d²)

I can be expressed as k/d²

When d = 1 m, the intensity is 10⁻² W/m²

Thus, 0.01 = k/1

Providing that k = 0.01 W

For d = 20 m, we can calculate I

I = 0.01/20² = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ W/m²

With four neighbors mowing their lawns concurrently,

I = 4 × 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ = 10⁻⁴ W/m⁻²

The sound intensity level in decibels is represented as

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

[D] = 10 log (10⁻⁴/10⁻¹²)

[D] = 10 log (10⁸)

[D] = 10 × 8 = 80dB

A 0.2-kg steel ball is dropped straight down onto a hard, horizontal floor and bounces straight up. The ball's speed just before
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

Explanation:

Provided:

mass of the steel ball m=0.2\ kg

initial velocity of the ball u=10\ m/s

Final velocity of the ball v=-10\ m/s (moving upwards)

The impulse given is determined by the change in the momentum of the object.

<ptherefore the="" impulse="" j="" is="" defined="" by="">

J=\Delta P

\Delta P=m(v-u)

\Delta P=0.2(-10-10)

\Delta =-4\ N-s

Thus, the magnitude of the Impulse is 4 N-s.

A careful photographic survey of Jupiter’s moon Io by the spacecraft Voyager 1 showed active volcanoes spewing liquid sulfur to
Sav [3153]

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Highest point = 70000 m

g = Gravitational acceleration = 2 m/s²

m = Sulfur's mass

Since both potential and kinetic energies are conserved

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s

The velocity at which the liquid sulfur exited the volcano is 529.15 m/s
