Calculate the distance d from the center of the sun at which a particle experiences equal attractions from the earth and the sun

. The particle is restricted to the line which joins the centers of the earth and the sun. Justify the two solutions physically. Note that: mearth = 5.976 x 1024 kg msun = 333,000 mearth Distance earth to sun = 149.6 Gm (giga-meters).

Answer:

149.34 Giga meter is the distance d from the center of the sun at which a particle experiences equal attractions from the earth and the sun.

Explanation:

Mass of earth = m = 5.976\times 10^{24} kg

Mass of Sun = M = 333,000 m

Distance between Earth and Sun = r = 149.6 gm =  1.496\times 10^{11} m[/tex]

1 giga meter = 10^{9} meter

Let the mass of the particle be m' which x distance from Sun.

Distance of the particle from Earth = (r-x)

Force between Sun and particle:

F=G\frac{M\times m'}{x^2}=G\frac{333,000 m\times m'}{x^2}

Force between Sun and particle:

F'=G\frac{mm'}{(r-x)^2}

Force on particle is equal:

F = F'

G\frac{333,000 m\times m'}{x^2}=G\frac{mm'}{(r-x)^2}

\frac{x}{r-x}=\sqrt{333,000} = ±577.06

Case 1:

\frac{x}{r-x}=577.06

x = 1.49\times 10^{11} m=149.34 Gm

Acceptable as the particle will lie in between the straight line joining Earth and Sun.

Case 2:

\frac{x}{r-x}=-577.06

x = 1.49\times 10^{11} m=149.86 Gm

Not acceptable as the particle will lie beyond on line extending straight from the Earth and Sun.

0.16 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 70 cm^3 container at 30°C. The gas then undergoes an isothermal expansion to a
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of argon = 0.16 mol

Initial volume = 70 cm³

Angle = 30°C

Final volume = 400 cm³

We need to calculate the initial pressure of gas

Using equation of ideal gas

PV=nRT

P_{i}=\dfrac{nRT}{V}

Where, P = pressure

R = gas constant

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

P_{i}=\dfrac{0.16\times8.314\times(30+273)}{70\times10^{-6}}

P_{i}=5.75\times10^{6}\ Pa

P_{i}=56.827\ atm

We need to calculate the final temperature

Using relation pressure and volume

P_{2}=\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}

P_{2}=\dfrac{56.827\times70}{400}

P_{2}=9.94\ atm

Hence, The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.

A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy
k0ka [10]

If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s  </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about:  What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ?  Answer:  Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about.  Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !
