The intensity of sunlight falling on the earth is about 1.4 kw/m2 (before any gets absorbed by our atmosphere). at what rate doe

s the sun emit light energy? (the earth-sun distance = 1.5 × 108 km and the earth's radius = 6.4 × 103 km.)

The area of the Earth (Ae) that is irradiated by is given by:

Ae = 4πRe^2, where Re = Distance from Sun to Earth
Substituting;
Ae = 4π*(1.5*10^8*1000)^2 = 2.827*10^23 m^2

On the Earth, insolation (We) = Psun/Ae

Therefore,
Psun (Rate at which sun emits energy) = We*Ae = 1.4*2.827*10^23 = 3.958*10^23 kW = 3.958*10^26 W

Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, t
user100 [1]

Answer:

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For this diffraction problem they tell us that it is equivalent to the diffraction of a single slit, which is explained by the equation

<h3>       a sin θ =±  m λ </h3><h3 />

Where the different temrs are: “a” the width of the hair, λ the wavelength, θ the angle from the center, m the order of diffraction, which is the number of bright rings (constructive diffraction)  

We can see that the diffraction angle is missing, but we can find it by trigonometry, where L is the distance of the strand of hair to the observation screen and "y" is the perpendicular distance to the first minimum of intensity

        L = 1.25 m 100 cm/1m   = 125 cm

       y = 5.06 cm  

      Tan θ = y/L

      Tan θ = 5.06/125

      θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.0405)

      θ =  2.32º

With this data we can continue analyzing the problem, they indicate that they measure the distance to the first dark strip, thus m = 1

     a = m λ / sin θ

     a = 1 633 10⁻⁹ 1.25/sin 2.3

     a = 1.96 10⁻⁵ m  

     a = 0.0196 mm

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

8. A car initially has 100 J of total energy. After driving down the road, the car's
sveta [45]

The work done on the car is -20 J.

Work done on the car is negative, meaning that the car actually does work on the external system.

<h3>Energy and law of conservation of energy</h3>
  • Energy is the ability to do work
  • the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy in a system is conserved

From the law of conservation of energy, the initial energy of the car before it moves down the road remains constant or unchanged.

  • Initial energy = 100 J
  • Initial energy = Final energy - work done on car
  • Final Energy = Work done on car + initial energy

80J = Work done on car + 100 J

Work done on car = 80 - 100J

Work done on car = -20 J

Hence, the work done on the car is -20 J

Work done on car is negative.

Since work done on the car is negative, it means that the car actually does work on the external system. Hence, the decrease in the energy of the car.

It took a crew 9 h 36 min to row 8 km upstream and back again. If the rate of flow of the stream was 2 km/h, what was the rowing
babunello [35]

Answer:

3 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call the rowing speed in still water x, in km/h.

Rowing speed in upstream is: x - 2 km/h

Rowing speed in downstream is: x + 2 km/h

It took a crew 9 h 36 min ( = 9 3/5 = 48/5) to row 8 km upstream and back again. Therefore:

8/(x - 2) + 8/(x + 2) = 48/5      (notice that: time = distance/speed)

Multiplying by x² - 2², which is equivalent to (x-2)*(x+2)

8*(x+2) + 8*(x-2) =  (48/5)*(x² - 4)

Dividing  by 8

(x+2) + (x-2) = (6/5)*(x² - 4)

2*x = (6/5)*x² - 24/5

0 =  (6/5)*x² - 2*x - 24/5

Using quadratic formula

x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(6/5)(-24/5)}}{2(6/5)}

x = \frac{2 \pm 5.2}{2.4}

x_1 = \frac{2 + 5.2}{2.4}

x_1 = 3

x_2 = \frac{2 - 5.2}{2.4}

x_2 = -1\; 1/3

A negative result has no sense, therefore the rowing speed in still water was 3 km/h

jolli1 [7]

The average power produced by the rocket is the product of force exerted by the rocket and the velocity of the rocket.

<h3>Average power produced by the rocket</h3>

The average power produced by the rocket is calculated as follows;

P = FV

where;

  • P is the average power
  • F is the force exerted by the rocket
  • V is the velocity of the rocket

Thus, the average power produced by the rocket is the product of force exerted by the rocket and the velocity of the rocket.
