Explain what happens inside the radiation zone that causes the photon to take so long to exit the sun

Physics
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]3 years ago
6 0
-A photon travels, on average, a particular distance, d, before being briefly absorbed and released by an atom, which scatters it in a new random direction.

-Given d and the speed of light, c, you can figure out the average time step and space step size (how often the photon “steps” and how far it “steps” each time).

-The size of the Sun is figured in terms of step size. Some surprisingly tricky math happens, involving “Brownian motion” and probabilities. Finally,

-The average time it would take to get to the surface of the Sun is found.

The potential energy for a certain mass moving in one dimension is given by U(x)=(2.0J/m3)x3−(15J/m2)x2+(36J/m)x−23JU(x)=(2.0J/m
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:x=2 and x=3

Explanation:

Given

Potential Energy for a certain mass is

U(x)=2x^3-15x^2+36x-23

and we know force is given by

F=-\frac{\mathrm{d} U}{\mathrm{d} x}

F=-(2\times 3x^2-15\times 2x+36)

For Force to be zero F=0

\Rightarrow 6x^2-30x+36=0

\Rightarrow x^2-5x+6=0

\Rightarrow x^2-2x-3x+6=0

\Rightarrow (x-2)(x-3)=0

Therefore at x=2 and x=3 Force on particle is zero.

Gravity is _____ force between objects that are moving closer to one another.
pishuonlain [190]

Gravity is a pair of forces of attraction between every
two objects. Period !

It doesn't matter whether they're moving together, moving apart,
moving gracefully in synchrony, or at rest.  The gravitational forces
of attraction between them are always there.
