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

A box slides down a 30.0° ramp with an acceleration of 1.20 m/s^2. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box
Zielflug [23.3K]

m = mass of the box

N = normal force on the box

f = kinetic frictional force on the box

a = acceleration of the box

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

perpendicular to incline , force equation is given as

N = mg Cos30                                         eq-1

kinetic frictional force is given as

f = μ N

using eq-1

f = μ mg Cos30    


parallel to incline , force equation is given as

mg Sin30 - f = ma

mg Sin30 - μ mg Cos30  = ma

"m" cancel out

a = g Sin30 - μ g Cos30

inserting the values

1.20 = (9.8) Sin30 - (9.8) Cos30 μ

μ = 0.44

If the sum of all the forces acting on a car is zero, then the speed of the car?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer: If all forces acting on a car are zero, than the cars speed is zero since there are no forces to push or pull the car :)
