Consider a cloudless day on which the sun shines down across the United States. If 2073 kJ of energy reaches a square meter ( m

The total amount of energy per hour is 2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ

Explanation:

In this problem we are told that the amount of energy reaching a square meter in the United States per hour is

E_1 = 2073 kJ

The total surface area of the United States is

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 km^2

And converting into squared metres,

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 \cdot 10^6 = 9.834\cdot 10^{12} m^2

Therefore, the total energy reaching the entire United States per hour is given by:

E=AE_1 = (9.834\cdot 10^{12})(2073)=2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ

If a train travels 500 kilometers from Stockholm to
o-na [289]

Hello,

Average speed is total distance divided by total time. From the problem, our total distance is given as 500 kilometers and given time is 5 hours. Therefore, the average speed is:

\displaystyle{v_\text{average}=\sum_{i=1}^n \dfrac{s_i}{t_i}}\\\\\displaystyle{v=\dfrac{500\ \text{km}}{5 \ \text{h}}}\\\\\displaystyle{v=100 \ \text{km/h}}

Therefore, the average speed is 100 km/h. Please let me know if you have any questions!

In example 18. 4 of the text, the deflection angle of the laser beam as it exits the prism is 22. 6º. If the prism had been made
Marrrta [24]

The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.

What is a laser beam?

Laser beam is a light beam propagating dominantly in one direction.

It is a beam of radiation produced from a laser.

Here given that,

refraction index of glass, n1= 1.52

refraction index of polystyrene plastic, n2 = 1.59

deflection angle, B = 22.6º

For the second surface,

B  = 45º - 22.6º

B  = 22.40º

Now from the formula of Snell's law:

n1 sinФ = n2 sin B

sin B / sinФ = n1 / n2

sinФ = (sin 22.40º) * ( 1/ 1.59)

Ф = 37.29º

Hence,

The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.
