Question Continuation

Derive an expression for x in terms of m, M, and D. b) If the net force is zero a distance ⅔D from the planet, what is the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon, M/m?

Answer:

a. x = (D√M/m)/(√M/m + 1)

b. The ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon=4:1

Explanation:

Given

m = Mass of moon

M = Mass of the planet

D = Distance between the centre of the planet and the moon

Net force = 0

Let Y be a point at distance x from the planet

Let mo = mass at point Y

a.

Derive an expression for x in terms of m, M and D.

Formula for Gravitational Force is

F = Gm1m2/r²

Y = D - x

Force on rest mass due to mass M (FM) =Force applied on rest mass due to m (Fm)

FM = G * mo * M/x²

Fm = G * mo * m/Y²

Fm = G * mo * m/(D - x)²

FM = Fm = 0 ------ from the question

So,

G * mo * M/x² = G * mo * m/(D - x)² ----- divide both sides by G * mo

M/x² = m/(D - x)² --- Cross Multiply

M * (D - x)² = m * x²

M/m = x²/(D - x)² ---_ Find square roots of both sides

√(M/m) = x/(D - x) ----- Multiply both sides by (D - x)

(D - x)√(M/m) = x

D√(M/m) - x√(M/m) = x

D√(M/m) = x√(M/m) + x

D√(M/m) = x(√(M/m) + 1) ------- Divide both sides by √M/m + 1

x = (D√M/m)/(√M/m + 1)

b. Here x = ⅔D

FM = G * mo * M/x²

Fm = G * mo * m/(D - x)²

FM = Fm

G * mo * M/x² = G * mo * m/(D - x)² ----- divide both sides by G * mo

M/x² = m/(D - x)² --- (Substitute ⅔D for x)

M/(⅔D)² = m/(D - ⅔D)²

M/(4D/9) = m/(⅓D)²

9M/4D = m/(D/9)

9M/4D = 9m/D ---- Divide both side by 9/D

M/4 = m

M = 4m

M/m = 4

M:m = 4:1

So, the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon=4:1

Estimate the wavelength corresponding to maximum emission from each of the following surfaces: the sun, a tungsten filament at 2

igomit [66]

Answer

Applying Wein's displacement

$\lamda_{max}\ T = 2898 \mu_mK$

1) for sun T = 5800 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{5800}$

$\lambda_{max} = 0.5 \mu_m$

2) for tungsten T = 2500 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{2500}$

$\lambda_{max} = 1.16 \mu_m$

3) for heated metal T = 1500 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{1500}$

$\lambda_{max} = 1.93 \mu_m$

4) for human skin T = 305 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{305}$

$\lambda_{max} = 9.50 \mu_m$

5) for cryogenically cooled metal T = 60 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{60}$

$\lambda_{max} = 48.3 \mu_m$

range of different spectrum

UV ----0.01-0.4

visible----0.4-0.7

infrared------0.7-100

for sun T = 5800

λ 0.01 0.4 0.7 100

λT 58 2320 4060 5.8 x 10⁵

F 0 0.125 0.491 1

fractions

for UV = 0.125

for visible = 0.441-0.125 = 0.366

for infrared = 1 -0.491 = 0.509

A microwave oven operating at 1.22 × 108 nm is used to heat 165 mL of water (roughly the volume of a teacup) from 23.0°C to 100.

ANTONII [103]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of photons are $3.7\times 10^8$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Wavelength of microwave = $1.22\times 10^8nm=0.122m$ (Conversion factor: $1m=10^9nm$ )

To calculate the energy of one photon, we use Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

h = Planck's constant = $6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength = 0.122 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{0.122m}\\\\E=1.63\times 10^{-24}J$

Now, calculating the energy of the photon with 88.3 % efficiency, we get:

$E=1.63\times 10^{-24}\times \frac{88.3}{100}=1.44\times 10^{-24}J$

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 165 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{165mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=165g$

To calculate the amount of energy of photons to raise the temperature from 23°C to 100°C, we use the equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$

where,

m = mass of water = 165 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g.°C

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=100^oC-23^oC=77^oC$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=165g\times 4.184J/g.^oC\times 77^oC\\\\q=53157.72J$

This energy is the amount of energy for 'n' number of photons.

To calculate the number of photons, we divide the total energy by energy of one photon, we get:

$n=\frac{q}{E}$

q = 53127.72 J

E = $1.44\times 10^{-24}J$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{53157.72J}{1.44\times 10^{-24}J}=3.7\times 10^{28}$

Hence, the number of photons are $3.7\times 10^8$
