Betelgeuse is 100,000 times more luminous than our sun, which means that it releases an estimated 3.846 x 1031 W of luminous lig

ht. If an exoplanet existed with the same mass (5.972 x 10^24 kg) and twice the radius of earth (1.27 x 10^7 m) and half the distance (7.5 x 10^10 m) from Betelgeuse what would the intensity of the light at the surface of that "earth" look like? a) What is the intensity of Betelgeuse at the "earth’s" surface?

Answer:

5.4  × 10⁸ W/m²

Explanation:

Given that:

The Power (P) of Betelgeuse is estimated to release 3.846 × 10³¹ W

the mass of the exoplanet = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

radius of the earth = 1.27 × 10⁷ m

half the distance (i.e radius r ) = 7.5  × 10¹⁰ m

a) What is the intensity of Betelgeuse at the "earth’s" surface?

The Intensity of  Betelgeuse  can be determined by using the formula:

Intensity \ I = \frac{P}{4 \pi r^2}

I = \frac{3.846*10^{31}}{4 \pi (7.5*10^{10})^2}

I = 544097698.8 W/m²

I = 5.4  × 10⁸ W/m²

Answer:

1.97*10^14 W/m^2

Explanation:

To find the intensity of the light emitted by Betelgeuse you taken into account that the light from Betelgeuse expands spherically in space.

You use the following formula:

I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}     (1)

I: intensity of light

r: distance from Betelgeuse to the exoplanet = (1/2)*7.5*10^10m

P: power = 100,000*3.486*10^31 W

By replacing the values of the parameters in (1) you obtain:I=\frac{100000(3.486*10^{31}W}{4\pi (0.5*7.5*10^{10}m)^2}=1.97*10^{14}\frac{W}{m^2}

You're sitting in the back of a taxi and place your bag on the seat next to you. The taxi enters a traffic circle and travels th
svp [43]

Answer:

(d) III only

Explanation:

We have to observe the motion of the bag with respect to taxi , considering taxi as stationary or inertial frame . Since bag is not moving with respect  to taxi , the inertial frame that means , net force on it is zero .So option i and ii are ruled out .

Now how to explain motion of the bag ie why it is stationary ie what are the balancing force acting on it. We know that on a body on circular path , a force called centripetal force is acting on it . So that force must be acting on it . The balancing force is the frictional force which is keeping it stationary with respect to taxi . Hence the third option is correct.

Al is floating freely in her spacecraft, and you are accelerating away from her with an acceleration of 1g. 5) How will you feel
wariber [46]

Answer:

D. You will feel the same weight as you do on Earth

Explanation:

In free space, she is suppose to be weightless.

Free fall can be described as body in motion where the body is under the effect of acceleration due to gravity only and no other acceleration..

Since I am accelerating away from her at an acceleration of 1g

Then,

F=ma, where a=g

Then F=mg

Since my weight on earth is W=mg

This is equals to my weight in the spaceship, then I will feel the same weights as I do on earth.
