How Do You Calculate Collision Rates and Emission Wavelengths in Physics?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate collision rates, the equation ZW = NAp/(2πMRT)^1/2 can be used, where ZW represents the collision rate, N is the number of particles, A is the area, p is pressure, M is molar mass, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature. For the second question regarding emission wavelengths, the wavelength of the most intense electromagnetic radiation can be determined using Wien's displacement law, which states that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature in Kelvin. The specific formula for this is λ_max = b/T, where λ_max is the wavelength, b is Wien's displacement constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Understanding each variable is crucial for applying these equations effectively. These calculations are fundamental in physics for analyzing gas behavior and thermal radiation.

Can you please set up the equations for me to help me solve these questions.:
1) How many collisions per second occur on a container wall with an area of
1.00 cm^2 for a collection of Ar particles at 1.10 atm and 290.1 K?
I think I should use this equation to answer this question:
ZW = NAp/(2πMRT )^1/2

2) Determine the wavelength of the most intense electromagnetic radiation
emitted from a furnace at 2500.1 °C.


Also, if you can explanes what do you mean by each variable that would be great.

We don't just do homework for you sorry.
 
I just want the equations which I can use to solve the problems. I do not want the final answer
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
