A large solar panel on a spacecraft in Earth orbit produces 1.0 kW of power when the panel is turned toward the sun. What power

would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn, 9.5 times as far from the sun?

Answer:

e*P_s = 11 W

Explanation:

Given:

- e*P = 1.0 KW

- r_s = 9.5*r_e

- e is the efficiency of the panels

Find:

What power would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn

Solution:

- We use the relation between the intensity I and distance of light:

                                  I_1 / I_2 = ( r_2 / r_1 ) ^2

- The intensity of sun light at Saturn's orbit can be expressed as:

                                  I_s = I_e * ( r_e / r_s ) ^2

                                  I_s = ( 1.0 KW / e*a) * ( 1 / 9.5 )^2

                                  I_s = 11 W / e*a

- We know that P = I*a, hence we have:

                                  P_s = I_s*a

                                  P_s = 11 W / e

Hence,                       e*P_s = 11 W

Tpy6a [65]
A joule is one Newton of force applied over a meter.
For every meter, the brakes put 240000N of force (N=Newtons).
For 40m, multiply the Newtons by 40.
240000N*40=9600000N

A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 5.6 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 140 A. (a) What is the mag
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

(a) B = 5.6 micro Tesla

Explanation:

Current in the wire, i = 140 A

distance, r = 5 m

The formula for the magnetic field at a distance r due to the current carrying wire

B=\frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}

B=10^{-7}\times \frac{2\times140}{5}

B = 5.6 x 10^-6 Tesla

B = 5.6 micro Tesla

(b) As the magnetic field of earth at this site is 20 micro tesla so the magnetic field due to current carrying wire interfere the magnetic compass.

mash [69]
For this case you must first know the definition of density.
 D = m / v
 where,
 m: mass
 v: volume.
 You can then write the following hypothesis:
 IF you know two physical characteristics of an object then you can determine the density. First weigh the object, THEN measure its volume BECAUSE the density is the quotient between the mass and the volume of an object.
