Problems related to radiation. (a) The temperature of the Sun’s photosphere is 5700 K. Assume it is a blackbody. What is the pea
sineoko [7]

Answer:

a) λ = 5,084 10⁻⁷ m , b)  P = 3.63 10²⁶ W , c)  P = 5.8 10²⁷ W and d)  λ = 2.54 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

a) The maximum emission of the sun can be calculated using the Win equation

     λ T = 2,898 10⁻³ m.K

     λ = 2,898 10⁻³ / T

     λ = 2,898 10⁻³ / 5700

     λ = 5,084 10⁻⁷ m

     λ = 5,084 10⁻⁷ m (1 10⁹ nm / 1m) =

     λ = 5,084 10² nm = 508.4 nm

      photon in the visible range

b) The emission of the Sun, is described by the Stefan equation

     P = σ A e T⁴

Where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant that vslue is  5,670 10-8 W/m²K⁴, A area of ​​the Sun, and e the emissivity that for a perfect black body is 1

In order to use this equation, we must calculate the area of ​​the sun, we consider it a perfect sphere

      r = 695,000 km (1000m / 1 km) = 6.95 10⁸ m

Area of ​​a sphere

     A = 4π R²

     A = 4π (6.95 10⁸8)²

     A = 6.07 10¹⁸ m²

     P = 5,670 10⁻⁸ 6.07 10¹⁸  1  5700⁴

     P = 3.63 10²⁶ W

c) The new temperature is double the previous one

    T = 2 To

Let's substitute in the formula and calculate

     P = σ A e (2To)⁴

     P = σ A e T⁴ 2⁴

     Po = σ A e T4 = 3.63 10 26 W

   

    P = 16 Po

    P= 16 (3.63 10²⁶)

    P = 5.8 10²⁷ W

d) Let's calculate the explicit value of the temperature and use the Win equation

    T = 2 5700

    T = 11400K

    λ = 2,898 10⁻³ / 11400

    λ = 2.54 10⁻⁷ m

    λ = 2.54 10²nm = 254 nm

A book is dropped from a window. It takes 5 seconds to reach the ground. What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What’s the veloci
ira [324]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity is 0. In the equation v = v0+at where v0 is the initial velocity of 0, we only have to fill in -9.8 for a and 2 for t to get the velocity after 2 seconds -19.6 m/s; after 5 seconds, when it hits the ground, a = -9.8 and t = 5 to give a velocity of -49 m/s. Gravity pulls down everything at the same rate, it doesn't matter whether we drop a feather or an elephant from the window!

Flura [38]
Lead filled. it has a higher mass, therefore gravity pulls on it harder, in turn making it fall faster. think of the saying "the bigger they fall, the harder they fall", in this case its "faster", not "harder."
