Find the radius Rrigel of the star Rigel, the bright blue star in the constellation Orion that radiates energy at a rate of 2.7×

10^31 W and has a surface temperature of 11,000 K. Assume that the star is spherical.

Answer:

r = 1.61 x 10^{11} m

Explanation:

energy radiated (H) = 2.7 x 10^31 W

surface temperature (T)  = 11,000 k

assuming ε = 1 and taking σ = 5.67 x 10^{-8} W/m^{2}.K^{4}

we can find the radius of the star from the equation below

H = A x  ε x σ x T^{4}              

where area (A) = 4 x π x r^{2} (assuming it is a sphere)

therefore  the equation becomes

H = 4 x π x r^{2} x  ε x σ x T^{4}  

2.7 x 10^31  = 4 x π x r^{2} x  1 x 5.67 x 10^{-8}  x (11,000)^{4}

r = \sqrt{\frac{2.7 x 10^31}{4 x π x 1 x 5.67 x 10^{-8}  x (11,000)^{4}} }

r = 1.61 x 10^{11} m

Kenneth ran a marathon (26.2 miles) in 5.5 hours. What was Kenneth's average speed? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.) 0.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

4.8 mph

Explanation:

From the question,

Average speed = total distance/total time

V = d/t....................... Equation 1

Where d = distance, t = time

Given: d = 26.2 miles, t = 5.5 hours.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 26.2/5.5

V = 4.76 mph

V ≈ 4.8 mph

What would most likely happen if the power lines in a petroleum power plant were broken
Vaselesa [24]
<span>Customers would not get electricity. If the transmission lines [heavy power] leaving the plant broke [zap], it's just fix the transmission lines. But if the generators or main switch gear were lost, so the plant itself has no power, it can get ugly. </span>
