Imagine that the Earth had no atmosphere and was covered with a material that was a perfect thermal insulator (and zero thermal

inertia) that reflected 30 % of impinging sunlight back into space. The temperature of any point on the surface was determined by the power density of adsorbed sunlight being exactly matched by the power density radiated back into space (sT4 ), where s is the Stefan Boltzmann constant (5.67 x 10-8 W m-2 K-4 ) and T is the temperature in Kelvin. For a location on the equator, what would be the ground temperature (degrees K) at these four times; A) noon (sun overhead), B) at 3 pm (Sun 45 degrees from overhead), C) sunset and D) midnight.

Answer:

T_{12 \ pm} = 360 \ K

T_{3 \ pm} = 330 \ K

T = 131\ K

Explanation:

The power of sunlight at equator L_{sun} is known to be = 3.846*10^{26} \ W

Distance = 1 Au = 1.496*10^{11} \ m

Thus; the power at equator = \frac{3.846*10^{26}}{4 \pi *(1.496*10^{11})^2}

= 1367 W/m²

Now; at noon (sun overhead)

1367* \frac{70}{100}= 5.67*20^{-8}*T^4\\\\T^4 =\frac{956.9}{5.67*10^{-8}}\\\\T^4 = 1.687*10^{10}\\\\T_{12 \ pm} = 360 \ K

At 3 pm (Sun 45 degrees from overhead);

1367* \frac{70}{100}*cos \ 45 = 5.67*20^{-8}*T^4\\\\T^4 =\frac{676.63}{5.67*10^{-8}}\\\\T^4 = 1.193*10^{10}\\\\T_{3 \ pm} = 330 \ K

C) sunset and D) midnight.

We based our assumption on the notion that the incident angle at sunset and midnight be just below 90° ; for example . let say:

T_{6pm \  to \ 6 am} =  1367* \frac{70}{100}*cos 89 = \sigma T^4\\ \\T = 131\ K

Find the position of the center of mass of the system of the sun and Jupiter? (Since Jupiter is more massive than the rest of th
8090 [49]

Answer:

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

Explanation:

As we know that mass of Sun and Jupiter is given as

M_s = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg

M_j = 1.89 \times 10^{27} kg

distance between Sun and Jupiter is given as

r = 7.78 \times 10^{11} m

now let the position of Sun is origin and position of Jupiter is given at the position same as the distance between them

so we will have

r_{cm} = \frac{M_s r_1 + M_j r_2}{M_s + M_j}

r_{cm} = \frac{1.98 \times 10^{30} (0) + (1.89 \times 10^{27})(7.78 \times 10^{11})}{1.98 \times 10^{30} + 1.89 \times 10^{27}}

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

(ASAP) would it be 125 m/s2 to calculate for her speeding up?
serg [7]

Answer:

0\:\mathrm{ m/s^2}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for acceleration:

\displaystyle\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}, where v_f is final velocity, v_i is initial velocity, and \Delta t is elapsed time (change in velocity over this amount of time).

Let's look at our time vs velocity graph. At t=0 seconds, V=25 m/s. So her initial velocity is 25 m/s.

We want to find the acceleration during the first 5 seconds of motion. Well, looking at our graph, at t=5 seconds, isn't our velocity still 25 m/s? Therefore, final velocity is 25 m/s (for this period of 5 seconds).

We are only looking from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds which is a total period of 5 seconds. Therefore, elapsed time is 5 seconds.

Substituting values in our formula, we have:

\displaystyle a=\frac{25-25}{5}=\frac{0}{5}=\boxed{0\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}

Alternative:

Without even worrying about plugging in numbers, let's think about what acceleration actually is! Acceleration is the change in velocity over a certain period of time. If we are not changing our velocity at all, we aren't accelerating! In the graph, we can see that we have a straight line from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds, the interval we are worried about. This indicates that our velocity is staying the same! At t=0 seconds, we have a velocity of 25 m/s and that velocity stays the same until t=5 seconds. Even though we are moving, we haven't changed velocity, which means our average acceleration is zero!

Use the equation for magnetic force on a moving charge to derive the equation for magnetic force on a current carrying wire. Sho
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The formula comes from Lorentz force law which includes both the electric and magnetic field. If the electric field is zero, the force law for just the magnetic field is <u>F=q(ν×B</u>) . Here, F  is force and is a vector because the force acts in a direction.  q  is the charge of the particle.  v  is velocity and is a vector because the particle is moving in some direction.  B is the magnetic flux density.

We can derive an expression for the magnetic force on a current by taking a sum of the magnetic forces on individual charges. (The forces add because they are in the same direction.) The force on an individual charge moving at the drift velocity vd.  Since the magnitude of B is constant at every line element of the loop (circle) and it dot product with the line element is B dl everywhere, therefore

                                                  ∮B dl=μ0 I

                                                  B ∮dl=μ0 I

                                                  B 2πr=μ0 I

                                                   B=μ02πr Id=μ0/4π I dl×rr3

Since, r can be written as r=(rcosθ,rsinθ,z) and dl as dl=(dl,0,0) And now, if we take the cross product we would get

                                               dl×r=−z dlj^+rsinθk^

and therefore the magnitude of dB is equal to

dB=μ0/4π I |dl×r|/r3=μ0/4π I z2+r2sin2θ−−−−−−−−−−√dl/r3

Thus, magnetic field is depending on r,θ,z.
