Answer:

$1.1\times10^{4}m$

Explanation:

The Schwarzschild radius can be calculated as follows:

$R=\frac{GM}{c^2}$

Where, <em>G</em> is the gravitational constant, <em>M</em> is the mass and <em>c</em> is the speed of light.

Mass of sun is 1.98×10³⁰ kg

$R=\frac{G\times 7.5M_{sun}}{c^2}\\ R=\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times(7.5\times1.98\times10^{30})}{(3\times10^8)^2}\\ \Rightarrow R=1.1\times10^{4}m$

What properties of sound determine the volume of sound?

Mila [183]

The amplitude of sound waves determines the volume of the sound. Not by the motion of sound, only pitch in that aspect. It is related to the square of the amplitude.

the average power of the Sun is 3.79x1026 Watts, answer the following questions: 13. What is the average intensity of light at E

Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Average power of sun $P=3.79\times10^{26}\ Watt$

We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position

Using formula of intensity

$I=\dfrac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}$

Where, I = intensity

P = power

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{3.79\times10^{26}}{4\pi\times(1.496\times10^{11})^2}$

$I=1347.616\ W/m^2$

So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².

(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully reflective

$P = \dfrac{2I}{c}$

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{2\times1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=8.984\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

(B). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully absorptive

$P=\dfrac{I}{c}$

$P=\dfrac{1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=4.492\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

Hence, This is the required solution.

If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surfa

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

$g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}$

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

$g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}$

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}$

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

$r_{P}=2r_{E}$

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}$

Which yields:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}$

So we can now compare the two gravities:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}$

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}$

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.
