To see why the amount of light produced by a black object must only depend on it's tem perature consider the following situation. suppose you have two black square plates each at the same temperature, that are placed face to face with a small gap between them. they are both perfectly black and so absorb all electromagnetic radiation inciident upon them but suppose one of the plates is emitting twice the radiation of the other. explain why this would violate the second law of thermodynamics.

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. car a weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. car b weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 44.0 mph. the cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 22.5 ft before stopping. you have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . how fast (in miles per hour) was car a traveling just before the collision? (this problem uses english units because they would be used in a u.s. legal proceeding.)
