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

You drop a ball from a height of 2.0 m, and it bounces back to a height of 1.5 m. (a) what fraction of its initial energy is los
Scilla [17]

a) At a position of 2.0m, the Initial energy is all made up of the potential energy=m*g*hi<span>
and meanwhile at 1.5 all its energy is also potential energy=m*g*hf 

The percentage of energy remaining is E=m*g*hi/m*g*hf x 100 

and since mass and gravity are constant so it leaves us with just E=hi/hf 
which 1.5/2.0 x100= 75% so we see that we lost 25% of the energy or 0.25 in fraction 

b) Here use the equation vf^2=vi^2+2gd 

<span>where g is gravity, vf is the final velocity and vi is the initial velocity while d is the distance travelled

so in here we are looking for the vi so let us isolate that variable 
we know that at maximum height or peak, the velocity is 0 so vf is 0 

therefore,</span></span>

vi =sqrt(-2gd) <span>
vi =sqrt(-2x-9.81x1.5) </span>
<span>vi =5.4 m/s

<span>c) The energy was converted to heat due to friction with the air and the ground.</span></span>

A 3.7-kg object is acted on by two forces. One of the forces is 11 N acting toward the
vitfil [10]

Answer:

F₂ = -7.3 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of an object, m₁ = 3.7 kg

First force, F₁ = 11 N

The net acceleration of the object is 1 m/s².

We know that,

F₁+F₂ = ma

11+F₂ = (3.7)(1)

F₂ = 3.7-11

F₂ = -7.3 N

so, the other force is 7.3 N and it is acting in west direction.

A point charge q is located at the center of a spherical shell of radius a that has a charge −q uniformly distributed on its sur
muminat

Answer:

a) E = 0

b) E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }

Explanation:

The electric field for all points outside the spherical shell is given as follows;

a) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

From which we have;

E \cdot  A =  \dfrac{{\Sigma Q}}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{+q + (-q)}{\varepsilon _{0}}  = \dfrac{0}{\varepsilon _{0}} = 0

E = 0/A = 0

E = 0

b) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

E \cdot  A  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0}}

E  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot A} = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot 4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2}

By Gauss theorem, we have;

E\oint dS =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

Therefore, we get;

E \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

The electrical field outside the spherical shell

E =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) }= \dfrac{q}{4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} \cdot r^2 }=  \dfrac{q}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} )\cdot r^2 }

k_e=  \dfrac{1}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} ) }

Therefore, we have;

E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }

Why do the magnetic forces acting on the coil change as the current running through the coil changes?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: The changing magnetic field caused by the material's motion induces a current in the coil of wire proportional to the change in field. If a 0 is represented, the magnetic field does not change between the two domains of a bit, so no current is induced as the magnetic material passes the coil.
