Answer:

The radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of light, I = 1 kW/m²

The radiation pressure of light is given as;

$Radiation \ Pressure = \frac{Flux \ density}{Speed \ of \ light}$

I kW = 1000 J/s

The energy flux density = 1000 J/m².s

The speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the radiation pressure of the light is calculated as;

$Radiation \ pressure = \frac{1000}{3*10^{8}} \\\\Radiation \ pressure =3.33*10^{-6} \ Pa$

Therefore, the radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is F1. Planet 2, which is twice as massive as planet 1 and orbits at t

Andrej [43]

Answer:

ratio = 1 : 4.5

Explanation:

If m₁ is the mass of the star and m₂ the mass of the planet, the force of gravity F₁ for planet 1 is given by:

$F_1=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

The force F₂:

$F_2=\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(3r)^2}$

The ratio:

$\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\frac{2}{9}$

The two cyclists travel at the same speed on level ground. They approach a low hill and decide to coast up instead of hard pedal

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

<u>Option-(E): </u>Bike B; its wheels have a smaller moment of inertia.

Explanation:

The two cyclists travel at the same speed on level ground, as they approach a low hill and decide to coast up instead of hard pedaling. At the top of the hill, as bike "B" will have a larger speed, as compared to the bike "A".Due, to the effect of having smaller moment of inertia, I=m×r².

Having no friction nor air resistance, and all the wheels roll on the ground without slipping. While, the B have larger speed,v due to the fact that bike "B" will have a larger speed,"v" as compared to the bike "A".

You wish to cool a 1.83 kg block of tin initially at 88.0°C to a temperature of 57.0°C by placing it in a container of kerosene

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

Explanation:

The minimum boiling point of kerosene is $150\,^{\circ}C$ . According to this question, we need to determine the minimum volume of liquid such that heat received is entirely sensible, that is, with no phase change.

If we consider a steady state process and that energy interactions with surrounding are negligible, then we get the following formula by the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\rho_{k}\cdot V_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o}) = m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)$ (1)

Where:

$\rho_{k}$ - Density of kerosene, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$V_{k}$ - Volume of kerosene, measured in cubic meters.

$c_{k}$ , $c_{t}$ - Specific heats of the kerosene and tin, measured in joule per kilogram-Celsius.

$T_{k,o}$ , $T_{t,o}$ - Initial temperatures of kerosene and tin, measured in degrees Celsius.

$T$ - Final temperatures of the kerosene-tin system, measured in degrees Celsius.

Please notice that the block of tin is cooled at the expense of the temperature of the kerosene until thermal equilibrium is reached.

From (1), we clear the volume of kerosene:

$V_{k} = \frac{m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)}{\rho_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o})}$

If we know that $m_{t} = 1.83\,kg$ , $c_{t} = 218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $T_{t,o} = 88\,^{\circ}C$ , $T_{k,o} = 24.0\,^{\circ}C$ , $T = 57\,^{\circ}C$ , $c_{k} = 2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ and $\rho_{k} = 820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , then the volume of the liquid needed to accomplish this task without boiling is:

$V_{k} = \frac{(1.83\,kg)\cdot \left(218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (88\,^{\circ}C-57\,^{\circ}C)}{\left(820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (57\,^{\circ}C-24\,^{\circ}C)}$

$V_{k} = 2.273\times 10^{-4}\,m^{3}$

$V_{k} = 0.273\,L$

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.
