Answer:

A)Ω = 7.8 × 10^−5 steradians.

B) TE = 5800K

C) fλ(λ1) = (π ^2 ) /ΩBλ(T)

Explanation:

A) First of all, if we assume that the Sun emits isotropically at a luminosity (L⊙) , the flux at a given distance R from the sun would be f(d) = L⊙/ (4πd^2)

The ratio of flux at the solar photosphere to the flux at the Earth’s atmosphere would be: F⊙/{f(d⊙)} = (R⊙)^2 / (d⊙)^2

Now if we think of this relationship of the flux and the earth as a conical pattern, we'll deduce that the solid angle subtended by the sun at Earth’s surface to be;

Ω = π[(R⊙)^2 / (d⊙)^2]

Combining this with the ratio earlier gotten, well arrive at;

F⊙ = {f(d⊙ )π} /Ω

Now let's express The radius of the sun (R) in terms of its angular diameter (2α) and this gives;

R⊙ ≈ αd⊙

Now combining this with the equation for Ω earlier, we get;

Ω ≈ πα^2

So, = π((0.57/2π) /180)^2 = 7.8 × 10^−5 steradians.

B) from Stefan-Boltzmann Law,

F⊙ = σ(TE)^4

From the beginning, we know that;

F⊙ = {f(d⊙ )π} /Ω

And so replacing that in the stephan boltzmann law, we get ;

{f(d⊙ )π} /Ωσ = (TE)^4

So, (TE)^4 = {π (1.4 kWm^(−2))} / [(7.8 × 10^(−5 ) steradians x (5.66961 × 10^(−8))]

In stephan boltzmann law, σ = 5.66961 × 10^(−8)

And so, TE is approximately 5800K.

C) In order to relate fλ(λ1) with T, let's assume the sun’s surface to be an isotropically emitting blackbody, i.e its specific intensity is Iλ = Bλ(T). Hence, the flux at Sun’s surface for a given wavelength would be;

Fλ(λ1) = πBλ(T)

Now, if we combine this with the expression of F⊙ gotten earlier, well get the relation;

fλ(λ1) = (π ^2 ) /ΩBλ(T)

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}

where N = 0 because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.

Ask Your Teacher The height h in feet reached by a dolphin t seconds after breaking the surface of the water is given by h = −16
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

1 second

Explanation:

h = −16t² + 32t

When, h = 16

16 = −16t² + 32t

Divide each of the numbers by 16

1 = -1t² + 2t

Rearrange the equation

1t²-2t+1 = 0

Solving by the quadratic formula, we get

t=\frac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4\times 1\times 1}}{2\times 1}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2\pm 0}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=1\ s

So, time taken by the dolphin to jump out of the water and touch the trainer's hand is 1 second.

A 3200-lb car is moving at 64 ft/s down a 30-degree grade when it runs out of fuel. Find its velocity after that if friction exe
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The velocity is 40 ft/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 3200 lb

Angle = 30°

Speed = 64 ft/s

The resistive force with magnitude proportional to the square of the speed,

F_{r}=kv^2

Where, k = 1 lb s²/ft²

We need to calculate the velocity

Using balance equation

F\sin\theta-F_{r}=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

Put the value into the formula

3200\sin 30-kv^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

Put the value of k

3200\times\dfrac{1}{2}-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

1600-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

At terminal velocity \dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}=0

So, 1600-v^2=0

v=\sqrt{1600}

v=40\ ft/sec

Hence, The velocity is 40 ft/sec.
