Assuming that 10.0% of a 100 W light bulb's energy output is in the visible range (typical for incandescent bulbs) with an avera

ge wavelength of 580 nm, and that the photons spread out uniformly and are not absorbed by the atmosphere, how far away (in km) would you be if 468 photons per second enter the 3.30 mm diameter pupil of your eye

Answer:

Explanation:

10% of 100 W = 10 W .

energy of each photon = hν , h is plank's constant and ν is frequency

= hc / λ , c is velocity of light , λ is wavelength

wavelength given λ  = 580 x 10⁻⁹ m .

energy of each photon = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 580 x 10⁻⁹

= .034137 x ⁻¹⁷ J

no of photons in 10 W

= 10 /  .034137 x ⁻¹⁷

= 292.9 x 10¹⁷

If d be the required distance

no of photons per unit area per second  at distance d

= 292.9 x 10¹⁷ / 4πd²

no of photons through the area of eye

= π x (1.65 x 10⁻³)² x 292.9 x 10¹⁷ / 4πd²

= 199.355 x 10¹¹ / d²

199.355 x 10¹¹ / d² = 468 ( given )

d² = 199.355 x 10¹¹ / 468

= .42597 x 10¹¹

= 42597 x 10⁶

d = 206.4 x 10³ m

= 206.3 km.

A mover loads a crate onto a truck bed 1.6m from the street using a ramp that is 4.6m long. What is a mechanical advantage?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 2.875

Explanation:

Given:

A diagram is shown below for the above scenario.

Length of ramp (Effort arm) = 4.6 m

Height of truck bed ( Resistance length) = 1.6 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio of effort arm and resistance length.

So, mechanical advantage is given as,

MA=\frac{\textrm{Effort arm}}{\textrm{Resistance length}}= \frac{4.6}{1.6}=2.875

When two or more identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>When two or more identical capacitors (or resistors) are connected
in series across a potential difference, the potential difference divides
equally among them.

For example, if you have nine identical capacitors (or resistors) all
connected end-to-end like elephants in a circus parade, and you
connect the string to a source of 117 volts (either AC or DC), then
you will measure

(117v / 9)  =  13 volts

across each unit in the string.</span>

Explain how you think an asteroid impact could affect the tilt of Earth’s axis. Explain how this effect would change Earth’s sea
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

An asteroid impact could affect the tilt of the Earth due to the force it applies onto the planet. This would change Earth's seasons due to the fact that Earth's tilt causes seasons.

3 An empty hot tub has a mass of 320 kg. When filled, the tub holds 600 gallons of water (rho = 62.4 lbm/ft3). The local acceler
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Total weight of the hot tub and water is 5676.6 pounds-force

Explanation:

rho = 62.4lbm/ft^3 × 1ft^3/7.481gal = 8.34lbm/gal

Mass of water = rho × volume = 8.34lbm/gal × 600 gallons = 5004lbm = 5004×0.45359kg = 2269.8kg

Total mass of hot tub and water = 320kg + 2269.8kg = 2589.8kg

Local acceleration due to gravity = 32ft/s^2 = 32ft/s^2 × 1m/3.2808ft = 9.75m/s^2

Total weight of hot tub and water = 2589.8kg × 9.75m/s^2 = 25250.55N = 25250.55/4.4482 lbf = 5676.6 lbf
