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

1 answer:

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.

A shopper in a supermarket pushes a loaded 31 kg cart with a horizontal force of 12 N. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

3.41334 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

m = Mass

Force

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{12}{31}\\\Rightarrow a=0.387\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the cart is 0.387 m/s²

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times 4.2+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.387\times 4.2^2\\\Rightarrow s=3.41334\ m$

The cart will move 3.41334 m in 4.2 seconds

A uniform metal rod of length 80cm and mass 3.2kg is supported horizontally by two vertical spring balance C and D. Balance C is

vagabundo [1.1K]

A uniform metal rod with of length 80cm and a mass of 3.2kg is supported horizontally by two vertical spring balances C and D. Balance C is 20cm from one end while D is 30cm from the other end would show the reading of 1.06 Kg and 2.13 kg respectively

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

It can be defined as the force by which a body attracts another body towards its center as the result of the gravitational pull of one body and another, The gravity varies according to the mass and size of the body for example the force of gravity on the moon is the 1/6th times of the force of gravity on the earth.

As given in the problem, A uniform metal rod of the length of 80cm and mass of 3.2kg is supported horizontally by two vertical springs balance C and D. Balance C is 20cm from one end while D is 30cm from the other end

The weight of the rod acting downward is from the center of the rod at 40 cm

Let us suppose the reading on the spring balance C and D are P and Q respectively

By using the equilibrium for the vertical force

Fv=0

P + C = 3.2

By using the equilibrium for the moment around the left corner

20×P+ 50×Q= 40 ×3.2

By solving for both P and Q from the above two equations we would get

P =1.06 and Q = 2.13

Thus, the reading on the spring balance C and D would be 1.06 Kg and 2.13 kg respectively
