Rigel’s luminosity is about _____ times the sun’s luminosity.

Physics
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

100,000 times

Explanation:

Luminosity is the measure of brightness of a star. It is measured by examining the radiant energy emitted by the stars per second. Rigel's radius is about 80 times that of the Sun's radius. Therefore, its  luminosity is about 100,000 times the sun’s luminosity.

The volume electric charge density of a solid sphere is given by the following equation: The variable r denotes the distance fro
qwelly [4]

Answer:

62.8 μC

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

The volume electric charge density of a solid sphere is given by the following equation: ρ = (0.2 mC/m⁵)r²The variable r denotes the distance from the center of the sphere, in spherical coordinates. What is the net electric charge (in μC) of the sphere if the radius of the sphere is 0.5 m?

Solution

The total charge on the sphere Q = ∫∫∫ρdV where ρ = volume charge density = 0.2r² and dV = volume element in spherical coordinates = r²sinθdθdrdΦ

So,  Q =  ∫∫∫ρdV

Q =  ∫∫∫ρr²sinθdθdrdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫(0.2r²)r²sinθdθdrdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴sinθdθdrdΦ

We integrate from r = 0 to r = 0.5 m, θ = 0 to π and Φ = 0 to 2π

So, Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴sinθdθdrdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴[∫sinθdθ]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴[-cosθ]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴-[cosπ - cos0]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴-[-1 - 1]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴-[- 2]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴(2)drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.4r⁴drdΦ

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr∫dΦ

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr[Φ]

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr[2π - 0]

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr[2π]

Q =  ∫0.8πr⁴dr

Q =  0.8π∫r⁴dr

Q =  0.8π[r⁵/5]

Q = 0.8π[(0.5 m)⁵/5 - (0 m)⁵/5]

Q = 0.8π[0.125 m⁵/5 - 0 m⁵/5]

Q = 0.8π[0.025 m⁵ - 0 m⁵]

Q = 0.8π[0.025 m⁵]

Q = (0.02π mC/m⁵) m⁵

Q = 0.0628 mC

Q = 0.0628 × 10⁻³ C

Q = 62.8 × 10⁻³ × 10⁻³ C

Q = 62.8 × 10⁻⁶ C

Q = 62.8 μC

A car with a mass of 1500 kg accelerates when the traffic light turns green. If the net force on the car is 3750 newtons, what i
timurjin [86]

Answer:

2.5 ms⁻²

Explanation:

By Newton's 2nd law,

The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the unbalance force applied on the object,

By that you can get the equation,

F = ma ⇒ a = F/m

where terms are in usual meaning

a = 3750/1500 = 2.5 ms⁻²

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of (a) 100 V, (b) 1.0 kV
forsale [732]

Answer:

(a) \lambda=1.227\ A

(b) \lambda=0.388\ A

(c) \lambda=0.038\ A

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) An electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 100 V. The De Broglie wavelength in terms of potential difference is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meV} }

Where

m and e are the mass of and charge on an electron

On solving,

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A

V = 100 V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{100} }\ A

\lambda=1.227\ A

(b) V = 1 kV = 1000 V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{1000} }\ A

\lambda=0.388\ A

(c) If V=100\ kV=10^5\ V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{10^5} }\ A

\lambda=0.038\ A

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the maximum number of unpaired d electrons that an atom or ion can possess?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

5

Explanation:

The d subshell has 5 orbitals, each capable of holding a maximum of two electrons. Hund's rule tells us that every orbital in a sub-level must first be singly occupied by electrons before any orbital is doubly occupied. Therefore five electrons will fill the five orbitals within the d subshell.
