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

t the emissivity eee is equal to 1 for these surfaces.
Required:
a. Find the radius RRigel of the star Rigel, the bright blue star in the constellation Orion that radiates energy at a rate of 2.7 x 10^31 W and has a surface temperature of 11,000 K.
b. Find the radius RProcyonB of the star Procyon B, which radiates energy at a rate of 2.1 x 10^23 W and has a surface temperature of 10,000 K. Assume both stars are spherical. Use σ=5.67 x 10−8^ W/m^2*K^4 for the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.

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

The parking brake on a 1200kg automobile has broken, and the vehicle has reached a momentum of 7800kg.M/s. What is the velocity
AysviL [449]
Ok so the equation for momentum is:
v=p/m

So you would do:
7800/1200=6.5

So the answer is:
6.5 m/s

Hope this helps :)

A 2.0 µF capacitor is charged through a 50,000 ohm resistor. How long does it take for the capacitor to reach 90% of full charge
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.23 s

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the time constant of the circuit:

\tau=RC

where

R=50,000 \Omega is the resistance

C=2.0\mu F=2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F is the capacitance

Substituting,

\tau=(50,000 \Omega)(2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F)=0.1 s

The charge on a charging capacitor is given by

Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau} ) (1)

where

Q_0 is the full charge

we want to find the time t at which the capacitor reaches 90% of the full charge, so the time t at which

Q(t)=0.90 Q_0

Substituting this into eq.(1) we find

0.90 Q_0 = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})\\0.90=1-e^{-t/\tau}\\e^{-t/\tau}=1-0.90=0.10\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(0.10)\\t=-\tau ln(0.10)=(0.1 s)ln(0.10)=0.23 s
