The radiation per unit area from the Sun reaching the earth is 1400 W/m2 , approximately the amount of radiative power per unit

area reaching a sun bather on the banks of Barton Springs at noon on a clear day in June. The temperature of the Sun is 5800 K. Now suppose instead of the present Sun we received radiation from sun X at temperature 2864 K, located at the same position as our Sun. How much radiative power per unit area would reach the sun bather from the new sun X?

Answer:

83.2 W/m^2

Explanation:

The radiation per unit area of a star is directly proportional to the power emitted, which is given by Stefan-Boltzmann law:

P=\sigma A T^4

where

\sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant

A is the surface area

T is the surface temperature

So, we see that the radiation per unit area is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature:

I \propto T^4

So in our problem we can write:

I_1 : T_1^4 = I_2 : T_2^4

where

I_1 = 1400 W/m^2 is the power per unit area of the present sun

T_1 = 5800 K is the temperature of the sun

I_2 is the power per unit area of sun X

T_2 = 2864 K is the temperature of sun X

Solving for I2, we find

I_2 = \frac{I_1 T_2^4}{T_1^4}=\frac{(1400 W/m^2)(2864 K)^4}{(5800 K)^4}=83.2 W/m^2

- What are (a) the x component, (b) the y component, and (c) the z component of r = a - b +c if a= 7.8 + 6.6 - 7.1 , b= -2.9 + 7
frez [133]

Answer:

Explanation:

a= 7.8i + 6.6j - 7.1k

b=   -2.9 i+ 7.4 j+ 3.9k , and

c = 7.6i + 8.8j + 2.2k

r = a - b +c

=7.8i + 6.6j - 7.1k - ( -2.9i + 7.4j+ 3.9k )+ ( 7.6i + 8.8j + 2.2k)

= 7.8i + 6.6j - 7.1k +2.9i - 7.4j- 3.9k )+  7.6i + 8.8j + 2.2k

= 18.3 i +18.3 j - k

the angle between r and the positive z axis.

cosθ = 18.3 / √18.3² +18.3² +1

the angle between r and the positive z axis.

= 18.3 / 25.75

cos θ= .71
