Suppose that the Sun were to collapse from its current radius of about 700,000 km to a radius of only about 6000 km (about the r

adius of Earth). What would you expect to happen as a result?

Answer:

Only there will be a change in density of sun.

Explanation:

As your question says only the radius of sun is decreased and there is no change in the mass. So it means that the center of gravity will be the same and as a result the gravitational force remains the same. Only the density of sun changes as it shrinks.

Answer: Nothing significant.

Explanation: The energy flux emited by the sun will remain the same even if the sun's radius reduces drastically.

The energy from the sun reaching the Earth is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann equation.

Energy flux = Boltzmann's constant * T⁴

Energy flux = {{5.67*EXP(-8) watt per meter² per K⁴}*{5800K}⁴} = 63*EXP(6) Watt per meter²

Where EXP means 10^, and T= sun blackbody temperature 5800K.

It is good to know that the energy flux from the sun reaching the Earth does not depend on radius ( either it increases or decreases). The energy it supplies to earth remain the same.

Answer:

The total normal force acting on the system is approximately 58.8 N

Explanation:

The masses arranged in the stack are;

3 kg, 2 kg, and 1 kg

The mass of the stack system, m = 3 kg + 2 kg + 1 kg = 6 kg

Weight = The force of gravity on an object = m·g

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The weight of the stack system, W ≈ 6 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 58.8 N

The direction of the weight force = Perpendicular to the surface (acting downwards)

From Newton's third law of motion, the normal force acts perpendicular to the plane and it is equal in magnitude to the force acting perpendicular to the plane

∴ The magnitude of the total normal force acting on the system = The magnitude of the weight of the system ≈ 58.8 N

The (magnitude of the) total normal force acting on the system ≈ 58.8 N

Isotropic optical medium?​
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

An isotropic medium is one such that the permittivity, ε, and permeability, μ, of the medium are uniform in all directions of the medium, the simplest instance being free space. Optical isotropy means having the same optical properties in all directions.
