Radiation from the Sun The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. T
Zina [86]

a) Total power output: 3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b) The relative percentage change of power output is 1.67%

c) The intensity of the radiation on Mars is 540 W/m^2

Explanation:

a)

The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given by

I=\frac{P}{A}

where

P is the power output

A is the surface area considered

In this problem, we have

I=1360 W/m^2 is the intensity of the solar radiation at the Earth

The area to be considered is area of a sphere of radius

r=1.5\cdot 10^{11} m (distance Earth-Sun)

Therefore

A=4\pi r^2 = 4 \pi (1.5\cdot 10^{11})^2=2.8\cdot 10^{23}m^2

And now, using the first equation, we can find the total power output of the Sun:

P=IA=(1360)(2.8\cdot 10^{23})=3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b)

The energy of the solar radiation is directly proportional to its frequency, given the relationship

E=hf

where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant, f is the frequency.

Also, the power output of the Sun is directly proportional to the energy,

P=\frac{E}{t}

where t is the time.

This means that the power output is proportional to the frequency:

P\propto f

Here the frequency increases by 1 MHz: the original frequency was

f_0 = 60 MHz

so the relative percentage change in frequency is

\frac{\Delta f}{f_0}\cdot 100 = \frac{1}{60}\cdot 100 =1.67\%

And therefore, the power also increases by 1.67 %.

c)

In this second  case, we have to calculate the new power output of the Sun:

P' = P + \frac{1.67}{100}P =1.167P=1.0167(3.845\cdot 10^{26})=3.910\cdot 10^{26} W

Now we want to calculate the intensity of the radiation measured on Mars. Mars is 60% farther from the Sun than the Earth, so its distance from the Sun is

r'=(1+0.60)r=1.60r=1.60(1.5\cdot 10^{11})=2.4\cdot 10^{11}m

Now we can find the radiation intensity with the equation

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where the area is

A=4\pi r'^2 = 4\pi(2.4\cdot 10^{11})^2=7.24\cdot 10^{23} m^2

And substituting,

I=\frac{3.910\cdot 10^{26}}{7.24\cdot 10^{23}}=540 W/m^2

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
faltersainse [42]

Answer:  The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the  the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when  he dives into the water body, As he ascends  out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following  Boyle's Law.  Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly  to the surface or else the  expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually  cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.

What is the density of a block with a mass of 36 g and a volume of 9 cm3?.
pshichka [43]
Density= how much mass is in a certain volume 
Therefore, you do (mass/volume).
density of the block is
36g/9cm3
or
4g/cm3
Meaning that there is 4 grams of mass in each cm3.
