In the final part of its life cycle a particular rotating spherical star expands to four times its normal diameter. assume the mass remains constant, the mass is uniformly distributed before the expansion and the mass is uniformly distributed after the expansion. how is the period of rotation affected? the period decreases to one quarter its normal period. the period increases by a factor of four. the period decreases to one eighth its normal period. the period increases by a factor of two. the period increases by a factor of sixteen. the period decreases to one sixteenth its normal period. the period is unchanged. the period increases by a factor of eight. the period decreases to one half its normal period.

Iron reacts with sulfur to form iron sulfide. if 60 grams of iron reacts with sulfur to produce 90 grams of iron sulfide, how much sulfur has been used in the chemical reaction?

A26 cm object is 18 cm in front of a plane mirror. a ray of light strikes the object and is reflected off the mirror at a 42-degree angle. what is the angle of reflection? degrees what type of image is formed? what is the size of the image? cm

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.
