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

-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.

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?​
ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

A race car moving along a circular track has a centripetal acceleration of 15.4 m/s? If the car has
Helen [10]

Answer:

r = 58.44 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation that relates the centripetal acceleration with the tangential velocity and the radius of rotation.

a = v²/r

where:

a = centripetal acceleration = 15.4 [m/s²]

v = tangential speed = 30 [m/s]

r = radius or distance [m]

r = v²/a

r = 30²/15.4

r = 58.44 [m]

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
irina [24]
En caso de una colisión de bajo nivel de gravedad podría golpearse con el tablero del carro o en la parte del sillón (si esta sentado en la parte trasera). Pero si es muy grave la colisión podría salirse del carro por el cristal.
