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

An ion in a mass spectrometer follows a semicircular path of radius 14.8. What is the distance it travels?
aleksklad [387]

The circumference of a circle is (2π · the circle's radius).

The length of a semi-circle is  (1π · the circle's radius) =

                                                 (π · 14.8) = 46.5 (rounded)

(The unit is the same as whatever the unit of the  14.8  is.)

Assume a solar cell would produce a current of 500mA and 3 V. What is the power of this solar cell?
defon

Answer:

the power of the solar cell is 1.5 watts

Explanation:

Recall that power is defined as the product of the voltage (V) times the running current (I): Power = V * I.

The only thing we have to take care of before actually performing the operation, is to convert milliamps into Amps, so our answer comes directly in the appropriate units (Watts). 500 mAmps can be written as 0.5 Amps, then, the product becomes:

Power = V * I = 3 V * 0.5 Amps = 1.5 watts

What is the mass of a falling rock if it produces a force of 50 N?
Rasek [7]
××F=m \times a×

50N is your force and the acceleration is -9.8m/s^2 due to gravity. 

So, you just plug that in. 

50 N=m\times-9.8m/s^2\\
\frac{50}{-9.8}=m\\
m=-5.102

BUT you know that mass cannot be negative, so you just disregard the negative sign and the mass of the rock is 5.102 grams.

When the switch in the drawing is closed, the current in the coil increases to its equilibrium value. While the current is incre
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

the previous correct answer is b

Explanation:

When the circuit is closed in the system, a current is induced that follows the lenz law, which opposes the change that is occurring and therefore the coil increases and the idicidal current in the ring must reach the maximum oppositing is the current of the coil, so quiet force is repulsion

Consequently, the previous correct answer is b
