The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun

to reach Earth if the space between them were filled with water rather than a vacuum?

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s

What is the temperature of a 3.72 mm cube (e=0.288) that radiates 56.6 W?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The temperature is 2541.799 K

Explanation:

The formula for black body radiation is given by the relation;

Q = eσAT⁴

Where:

Q = Rate of heat transfer 56.6

σ = Stefan-Boltzman constant = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/(m²·k⁴)

A = Surface area of the cube = 6×(3.72 mm)² = 8.3 × 10⁻⁵ m²

e = emissivity = 0.288

T = Temperature

Therefore, we have;

T⁴ = Q/(e×σ×A) = 56.6/(5.67 × 10⁻⁸ × 8.3 × 10⁻⁵ × 0.288) = 4.174 × 10¹⁴ K⁴

T  =  2541.799 K

The temperature = 2541.799 K.

When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference:
34kurt

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: \frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE

What is the resistance of a 3.5 m copper wire (Rho= 1.7x10-8 Ohm·m) that 1 point
VikaD [51]

Answer:

(D)

Explanation:

Given :

l=3.5 m

A=5.26*10^{-6} m^{2}

p=1.7*10^{-8}  ohm.m

Resistance can be calculated as :

R=p\frac{l}{A} \\R=1.7*10^{-8} \frac{3.5}{5.26*10^{-6} }

R=\frac{5.95*10^{-2} }{5.26} \\R=1.13*10^{-2}

Resistance of the wire will be 1.1×10^{-2} ohms

Option D is correct
