At noon on a clear day, sunlight reaches the earth\'s surface at Madison, Wisconsin, with an average intensity of approximately

2.00 kJ·s–1·m–2. If the sunlight consists of photons with an average wavelength of 510.0 nm, how many photons strike a 4.80 cm2 area per second?

Intensity of sunlight at given position is defined as power received per unit area

so here we can say

I = 2 kJ/s*m^2

area  on which photons are received is given as

A = 4.80 cm^2 = 4.80 * 10^-4 m^2

now we can find the power received due to sunlight

P = I*A

P = 2* 10^3 * 4.80 * 10^-4

P = 0.96 Watt

now we can say this power is due to photons that strikes on surface of earth

so here we can say

P = N\frac{hc}{\lambda}

given here that

\lambda = 510 nm

0.96 = N\frac{6.6 * 10^{-34}* 3 * 10^8}{510*10^{-9}}

0.96 = N * 3.88 * 10^{-19}

N = \frac{0.96}{3.88*10^{-19}}

N = 2.47 * 10^{18}

so it will strike 2.47 * 10^18 photons on given area per second

What force is necessary to keep a mass of 0.8 kg revolving in a horizontal circle of radius 0.7 m with a period of 0.5 s? What i
inn [45]

Answer:

88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle

Explanation:

Applying,

F = mv²/r................... Equation 1

F = Force needed to keep the mass in a circle, m = mass of the mass, v = velocity of the mass, r = radius of the circle.

But,

v = 2πr/t................... Equation 2

Where t = time, π = pie

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(2πr/t)²/r

F = 4π²r²m/t²r

F = 4π²rm/t²............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 0.8 kg, r = 0.7 m, t = 0.5 s

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 4(3.14²)(0.7)(0.8)/0.5²

F = 88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle

liq [111]

Answer:

young's modulus=\frac{stress}{strain}=\frac{0.1990\times 10^{6}}{28.46\times 10^{-3}}=6.99\times 10^6N/m^2

Explanation:

We have given length of tendon L= 13 cm =0.13 m

Change in length \Delta L=3.7mm=3.7\times 10^{-3}m

Force = 12.1 N

Average diameter d =8.8 mm

So r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{8.8}{2}=4.4mm=4.4\times 10^{-3}m

Area A=\pi\times  (4.4\times 10^{-3})^2=60.79\times 10^{-6}m^2

Now stress =\frac{force}{area}=\frac{12.1}{60.79\times 10^{-6}}=0.1990\times 10^6N/m^2

Strain =\frac{change\ in\ lenght}{length}=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-3}}{0.13}=28.46\times 10^{-3}

Now young's modulus=\frac{stress}{strain}=\frac{0.1990\times 10^{6}}{28.46\times 10^{-3}}=6.99\times 10^6N/m^2
