This question relates to the practicality of searching for intelligent life in other solar systems by detecting their radio broa

dcasts (or aliens find us from ours). The closest stars are 4 light years away from us. How far away must you be from a 781 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for there to be only one photon per second per square meter? Assume that the photons spread out spherically. The area of a sphere is 4????????2.

Answer:

2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m

Explanation:

P = Power = 50 kW

n = Number of photons per second

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

\nu = Frequency = 781 kHz

r = Distance at which the photon intensity is i = 1 photon/m²

Power is given by

P=nh\nu\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{P}{h\nu}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{50000}{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 781000}\\\Rightarrow n=9.66201\times 10^{31}\ photons/s

Photon intensity is given by

i=\dfrac{n}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow 1=\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}}\\\Rightarrow r=2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m

The distance is 2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m

I cant solve this problem, and our teacher said that this would be in the test we'll have tomorrow, can someone help me?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

d = 11.1 m

Explanation:

Since the inclined plane is frictionless, this is just a simple application of the conservation law of energy:

\frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  = mgh

Let d be the displacement along the inclined plane. Note that the height h in terms of d and the angle is as follows:

\sin(15)  =  \frac{h}{d}  \\ or \: h = d \sin(15)

Plugging this into the energy conservation equation and cancelling m, we get

{v}^{2}  = 2gd \sin(15)

Solving for d,

d =  \frac{ {v}^{2} }{2g \sin(15) }  =  \frac{ {(7.5 \:  \frac{m}{s}) }^{2} }{2(9.8 \:  \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} })(0.259)}   \\ = 11.1 \: m

When the speed of your car is doubled, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a. 4

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of kinetic energy (KE) is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the car.

v = speed of the car.

Let´s see how would be the equation if the velocity is doubled (2 · v)

KE2 = 1/2 · m · (2 · v)²

Distributing the exponent:

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 2² · v²

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 4 · v²

KE2 = 4 (1/2 · m · v²)      

KE2 = 4KE

Doubling the velocity increased the kinetic energy by 4.

During the first stage of sleep deprivation, the subject may __________.
klio [65]
<h2>First stage of sleep Deprivation Subject </h2>

During the first stage of sleep deprivation, the subject is NREM which stands for non-rapid eye movement. In this condition, we are not sleeping in the depth. It can be said as dreamless sleep. On electro-encephalography recording, the brain waves are not fast so they have high voltage.

In this condition, the breathing, heart rate and blood pressure is low. The sleep is comparatively tranquil. NREM lasts for 90 minutes to 120 minutes. It accounts for about 75% of the normal sleep time. Rapid eye movements do not occur.
