Answer:

I_v = 2,700 W / m^2

I_m = 610 W / m^2

I_s = 16 W / m^2

Explanation:

Given:

- The Power of EM waves emitted by Sun P_s = 4.0*10^26 W

- Radius of Venus r_v = 1.08 * 10^11 m

- Radius of Mars r_m = 2.28 * 10^11 m

- Radius of Saturn r_s = 1.43 * 10^12 m

Find:

Determine the intensity of electromagnetic waves from the sun just outside the atmospheres of (a) Venus, (b) Mars, and (c) Saturn.

Solution:

- We know that Power is related to intensity and surface area of an object follows:

                                        I = P / 4*pi*r^2

Where, A is the surface area of a sphere models the atmosphere around the planets.

a)

- The intensity at the surface of Venus is calculated as:

                                       I_v = P_s / 4*pi*r^2_v

                                       I_v = 4.0*10^26 / 4*pi*(1.08*10^11)^2

                                       I_v = 2,700 W / m^2

b)

- The intensity at the surface of Mars is calculated as:

                                       I_m = P_s / 4*pi*r^2_m

                                       I_m = 4.0*10^26 / 4*pi*(2.28*10^11)^2

                                      I_m = 610 W / m^2

c)

- The intensity at the surface of Saturn is calculated as:

                                       I_s = P_s / 4*pi*r^2_s

                                       I_s = 4.0*10^26 / 4*pi*(1.43*10^12)^2

                                      I_s = 16 W / m^2

A circular flat coil that has N turns, encloses an area A, and carries a current i, has its central axis parallel to a uniform m
gogolik [260]

Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

The force on a coil of N turns, enclosing an area, A and carrying a current I in the presence of a magnetic field B, is :

F = N * I * A * B * sinθ

Where θ is the angle between the normal of the enclosed area and the magnetic field.

Since the normal of the area is parallel to the magnetic field, θ = 0

Hence:

F = NIABsin0

F = 0 or Zero

The atmospheric pressure on the top of the Engineering Sciences Building (ESB) is 97.6 kPa, while that in Room G39-ESB (ground f
Stells [14]

Answer:

Δ h = 52.78 m

Explanation:

given,

Atmospheric pressure at the top of building = 97.6 kPa

Atmospheric pressure at the bottom of building = 98.2 kPa

Density of air = 1.16 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

height of the building = ?

We know,

Δ P = ρ g Δ h

(98.2-97.6) x 10³ = 1.16 x 9.8 x Δ h

11.368 Δ h = 600

Δ h = 52.78 m

Hence, the height of the building is equal to 52.78 m.

a man hits a golf ball (0.2kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s what amount of force acted on the ball
MAVERICK [17]

The ball only accelerates during the brief time that the club is in contact
with it. After it leaves the club face, it takes off at a constant speed.

If it accelerates at 20 m/s² during the hit, then

   Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.2kg) x (20 m/s²) = <em>4 newtons</em> .
