A small spinning asteroid is in a circular orbit around a star, much like the earth's motion around our sun. The asteroid has a

surface area of 7.70 m2. The total power it absorbs from the star is 3800 W.
Assuming the surface is an ideal absorber and radiator, calculate the equilibrium temperature of the asteroid (in K)

Answer:

Temperature will be 305 K  

Explanation:

We have given The asteroid has a surface area A=7.70m^2

Power absorbed P = 3800 watt

Boltzmann constant \sigma =5.67\times 10^{-8}Wm/K^4

According to Boltzmann rule power radiated is given by

P=\sigma AT^4

3800=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 7.70\times T^4

T^4=87.0381\times 10^8

T=305K

So temperature will be 305 K

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.
miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

What is the difference between light energy and heat energy​
MrRissso [65]

ANSWER:

What is the difference between heat and light? - Physics Stack ... Heat and light are different but they are both forms of energy. Heat is a form of kinetic energy contained in the random motion of the particles of a material. Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. As with other forms of energy, heat energy can be transformed into light energy and vice versa.

A bike travels 4 miles in half an hour at what speed
Sloan [31]
8 miles per hour
because if it is moving at 4 miles every half hour that means you have to multiply it by two to get it in miles per hour and we all know that 4 times 2 is 8 so it would be 8 miles per hour =)
