Answer:

a) 1392.54 *10^6 m

b) 3.8248284*10^26 W

c) 6.2783674*10^7 W/m^2

Explanation:

from the exercise we have the following values:

angular diameter of sun from earth, phi = 32'

solar constant, S = 1.36 kW/m^2

a. distance of sun from earth, d = 149.6*10^9 m

therefore

phi = D/d

clear D

D = d*phi

so we have

a) diameter of sun = D

D = 1392.54 *10^6 m

b. How much total power does the Sun emit? =P

P = S*4*pi*d^2

P= = 3.8248284*10^26 W

c. power flux on surface of sun = P/pi*D^2

c. power flux on surface of sun = 6.2783674*10^7 W/m^2

Captain John Stapp is often referred to as the "fastest man on Earth." In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Stapp ran the U.S. Air

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: $x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m$ .

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

An artist working on a piece of metal in his forging studio plunges the hot metal into oil in order to harden it. The metal piec

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The temperature of the metal is $T_m = 376.8 ^o C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the metal is $M = 60 \ kg$

The specific heat of the metal is $c_p = 0.1027 kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC)$

The mass of the oil is $M_o = 810 \ kg$

The temperature of the oil is $T_o = 35^oC$

The specific heat of oil is $c_o = 0.7167 kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC )$

The equilibrium temperature is $T_e = 39 ^oC$

According to the law of energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by the oil

So

The quantity of heat lost by the metal is mathematically represented as

$Q = - Mc_p \Delta T$

=> $Q = -Mc_p (T_m - T_c)$

Where $T_ m$ the temperature of metal before immersion

The negative sign show heat lost

The quantity of gained t by the metal is mathematically represented as

$Q = M_o c_o \Delta T$

=> $Q = M_o c_o (T_c - T_o)$

So

$Mc_p (T_m - T_c) = M_o c_o (T_c - T_o)$

substituting values

$- 60 * 0.1027 (T_m - 39) = 810 * 0.7167 * (39 - 35)$

=> $T_m = 376.8 ^o C$

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

because the mass of the apple is very less compared to the mass of earth. Due to less mass the apple cannot produce noticable acceleration in the earth but the earth which has more mass produces noticable acceleration in the apple. thus we can see apple falling on towards the earth but we cannot see earth moving towards the apple.

Falling raindrops frequently develop electric charges. Does this create noticeable forces between the droplets? Suppose two 1.8

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) $F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N$

b) $a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of raindrops, $m=1.8\times 10^{-6}\ kg$

charge on the raindrops, $q=+21\times 10^{-12}\ C$

horizontal distance between the raindrops, $r=0.0044\ m$

A)

<u>From the Coulomb's Law the force between the charges is given as:</u>

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} .\frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}$

we have:

$\epsilon_0=8.854\times 10^{-12}\ C^2.N^{-1}.m^{-2}$

<em>Now force:</em>

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}} .\frac{21\times 10^{-12}\times 21\times 10^{-12}}{0.0044^2}$

$F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N$

B)

<u>Now the acceleration on the raindrops due to the electrostatic force:</u>

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

$a=\frac{2.048\times 10^{-7}}{1.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}$
