What causes reddening of starlight? Explain how the reddish color of the Sun’s disk at sunset is caused by the same process.

Masteriza [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Dust grains interacting with starlight causes reddening by either the absorption or scattering of other colors and we only can see the reddening one because other colors have longer wavelength that we cannot see.

The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is a good approximation to assume tha
belka [17]

Given that,

Energy H=2.7\times10^{31}\ W

Surface temperature = 11000 K

Emissivity e =1

(a). We need to calculate the radius of the star

Using formula of energy

H=Ae\sigma T^4

A=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4}

4\pi R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4}

R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4\times4\pi}

Put the value into the formula

R=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.7\times10^{31}}{1\times5.67\times10^{-8}\times(11000)^4\times 4\pi}}

R=5.0\times10^{10}\ m

(b). Given that,

Radiates energy H=2.1\times10^{23}\ W

Temperature T = 10000 K

We need to calculate the radius of the star

Using formula of radius

R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4\times4\pi}

Put the value into the formula

R=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.1\times10^{23}}{1\times5.67\times10^{-8}\times(10000)^4\times4\pi}}

R=5.42\times10^{6}\ m

Hence, (a). The radius of the star is 5.0\times10^{10}\ m

(b). The radius of the star is 5.42\times10^{6}\ m

A box is lowered using a rope. If the acceleration of the box, is 3.3 m/s2 (downward) and its mass is 29.1 kg, what is the magni
Stells [14]

Answer:

T=189.15 N

Explanation:

As we know that for downward motion

F acting = F (weight) - Tension T

m a = mg - T

⇒ T = m (g - a)

T = 29.1 kg ( 9.8 m/s² - 3.3 m/s²)

T=189.15 N

A radioactive nuclide of atomic number emits an electron, then the daughter nuclide emits a gamma ray. What is the atomic number
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

correct answer is b    Z --->Z+1

Explanation:

In the processes of radioactive decay there are three basic processes the emission of alpha particles and the emission of beta rays and the emission of ayos range

The emission of a beta ray implies the transformation of a neutral into a proton, which implies the increase of the atomic number in a unit

          Z   ---->  Z +1

the atomic mass does not change since the mass of the two particles is practically the same, to balance the reaction antineutrino must also be emitted

The daughter particle is in an execrated state and passes to its base state with the emission of a gamma ray that does not change its atomic number or its atomic mass.

Consequently, from the above the correct answer is b

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.36 m and a spring constant of 320 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
lakkis [162]

Answer:

1.been both -ve charged or both +be charged particles

2. 3.52mC

Explanation:

For the charge particle to cause an extension or movement of the string from its unrestrained position they would have been both -ve charged or both +be charged particles that's because like charges repel.

Now the Force sustain by the extended string is

F = Ke;

Where K is the force constant of the string, 320 N/m

e is the extension,0.033 m

F = 320 × 0.033 =10.56N

2.But according to columns law of charge;

F = kQ1 Q2

But Q1=Q2{ since the charge are of the same magnitude}.

Hence F = KQ^2

Where K is columns constant =9×10^9F/m

Hence Q=√F/K

Q= √10.56/9×10^9

=3.52×10^-3C

= 3.52mC

What is the net force of an object that has 7N to the left and right and 3N up
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

the net force would be 3N in the upward direction since the two forces acting on the left and right of the object cancel out.
