Answer:

a. 3.95\times10^{26}W

Explanation:

T = temperature of the surface of sun = 5800 K

r = Radius of the Sun = 7 x 10⁸ m

A = Surface area of the Sun

Surface area of the sun is given as

A = 4\pi r^{2} \\A = 4(3.14) (7\times10^{8})^{2}\\A = 6.2\times10^{18} m^{2}

e = Emissivity = 1

\sigma = Stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻²K⁻⁴

Using Stefan's law, Power output of the sun is given as

P = \sigma e AT^{4} \\P = (5.67\times10^{-8}) (1) (6.2\times10^{18}) (5800)^{4}\\P = 3.95\times10^{26} W

Your shopping cart has a mass of 65 kilograms, In order to accelerate the shopping cart down an aisle at 0.3 m/sec2, what force
garri49 [273]
Remember Newton's second law: F=ma

to get the force in newtons, mass should be in kg and acceleration in m/s^2

conveniently, we don't need to convert units

we just need to multiply the two to get the force

65* 0.3 = 19.5 kg m/s^2 or N

if significant digit is an issue, the least number if sig figs is 1 so the answer would be 20 N

A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0m/s across a level table that is 1.0m above the floor. Upon reaching the edge of the table it fo
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:0.58 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the ball is u = 2.0 m/s

The height of the table is, h = 1.0 m

The ball falls in vertical direction under acceleration due to gravity.

Time taken for ball to hit the floor:

h= ut + 0.5gt² ( from the equation of motion)

1.0 m=2.0 m/s × t+0.5 × 9.8 m/s²× t²

Solving this for t,

t = 0.29 s ( we have neglected the negative value of t)

In the same time, the ball would cover a horizontal distance of :

s = u t

⇒s = 2.0 m/s×0.29 s = 0.58 m

Thus, the landing spot is 0.58 m away from the table.

A sodium vapor lamp operates by using electricity to excite the highest-energy electron to the next highest-energy level. light
viva [34]

Answer:

The energy levels are: 3s and 3p

Explanation:

<u>The sodium (Na) element, with atomic number 11 (number of protons: Z=11), has the next electronic configuration</u>:  

Z=11:  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹ = [Ne] 3s¹    

<u>Hence, the electricity used in a sodium vapor lamp will</u> excite the electron of the energy state n=3 from the s-orbital to the next highest energy p-orbital <u>which then</u> drops back to the lower energy s-orbital by the emission of a photon <u>resulting in the production of light</u>.      

<u />

<u>The transition of the electron is</u>:

Excitation: [Ne] 3s¹ → [Ne] 3s⁰ 3p¹

Emission: [Ne] 3p¹ → [Ne] 3s¹                                                                    

So, the energy levels that are involved in the process are 3s and 3p.

Have a nice day!
