the average power of the Sun is 3.79x1026 Watts, answer the following questions: 13. What is the average intensity of light at E

Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Average power of sun $P=3.79\times10^{26}\ Watt$

We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position

Using formula of intensity

$I=\dfrac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}$

Where, I = intensity

P = power

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{3.79\times10^{26}}{4\pi\times(1.496\times10^{11})^2}$

$I=1347.616\ W/m^2$

So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².

(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully reflective

$P = \dfrac{2I}{c}$

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{2\times1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=8.984\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

(B). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully absorptive

$P=\dfrac{I}{c}$

$P=\dfrac{1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=4.492\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

Hence, This is the required solution.

How did particles in the solar nebula eventually form earth

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

At the high temperatures of the inner solar nebula, the small proto-planets were too hot to hold the volatile gases that dominated the solar nebula. These proto-planets were Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.

Explanation:

The materials that accreted into the early Earth were probably added piecemeal, without and particular order. The early earth was very hot from gravitational compression, impacts and radioactive decay; the earth was partially molted. The denser metallic liquids sank to the center of the Earth and less denser silicate liquids rose to the top. In this way the Earth differentiated very quickly into a metallic, mostly iron core and a rocky silicate mantle.
