Discuss how we are able to feel the sun's heat and see its brightness?

The sun makes so much energy that we are able to see the sun's brightness and feel its heat. Hydrogen fusion occurs in the Sun's core and the gas is heated by the energy that is released above the core. Eventually, the gas becomes less dense and the heat from below turns the gas buoyant

Answer:

Sun is bright because it is closer to the earth and the radiation that  reaches the earth's surface gives out the heat.

Explanation:

The thermonuclear fusion reactions are responsible for the heat and light emitted by any star.

As a result of the fusion reactions that occur in its core, sun's core is very very hot. This heat is radiated outward and after passing through several zones of the sun itself, the surface temperature of the Sun cools to about about 6000 K.

Sun radiates electromagnetic radiation that can travel through space and then penetrate the earth's atmosphere. Ozone layer which is present in the ozonosphere of the earth's atmosphere filters the UV rays coming from the sun. The radiation in the form of heat and light is absorbed by the particles of air in the earth's atmosphere, there by heating the surface.

In an engine, an almost ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to half its volume. In doing so, 1850 J of work is done on the gas
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The value of change in internal l energy of the gas = 1850 J

Explanation:

Work done on the gas (W) =  - 1850 J

Negative sign is due to work done on the system.

From the first law  we know that Q = Δ U + W ------------- (1)

Where Q = Heat transfer to the gas

Δ U = Change in internal energy of the gas

W = work done on the gas

Since it is adiabatic compression of the gas so heat transfer to the gas is zero.

⇒ Q = 0

So from equation (1)

⇒ Δ U = - W ----------------- (2)

⇒ W = - 1850 J (Given)

⇒ Δ U = - (- 1850)

⇒ Δ U = + 1850 J

This is the value of change in internal energy of the gas.

Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a = 9.94 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

density at center= 1.6 x 10⁴ kg/m³

density at the surface = 2100 Kg/m³

volume mass density as function of distance

\rho(r) = ar^2 - br^3

r is the radius of the spherical shell

dr is the thickness

volume of shell

dV = 4 \pi r^2 dr

mass of shell

dM = \rho(r)dV

\rho = \rho_0 - br

now,

dM = (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr

integrating both side

M = \int_0^{R} (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr

M = \dfrac{4\pi}{3}R^3\rho_0 - \pi R^4(\dfrac{\rho_0-\rho}{R})

M = \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)

we know,

a = \dfrac{GM}{R^2}

a = \dfrac{G( \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho))}{R^2}

a =\pi RG(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)

a =\pi (6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 6.38 \times 10^6)(\dfrac{1.60\times 10^4}{3}+2.1\times 10^3)

a = 9.94 m/s²
