The power radiated by the sun is 3.90 1026 W. The earth orbits the sun in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.50 1011 m. The ear

th's axis of rotation is tilted by 27° relative to the plane of the orbit (see the drawing), so sunlight does not strike the equator perpendicularly. What power strikes a 0.570-m2 patch of flat land at the equator at point Q?

Answer:

3234.2 W

Explanation:

Since intensity I = Power/Area. The intensity of the light from the sun, I = power radiated by sun/area of sphere of radius, r = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m.

So, I = 3.9 10²⁶W/4π(1.5 × 10¹¹ m)² = 2.069 × 10³ W/m².

Now, the power radiated on the patch of area 0.570 m² at the equator is

P = Icos27/A = 2.069 × 10³ W/m² cos27/0.570 m² = 1843.49/0.570 = 3234.2 W

to start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 53.0° above the ho
kap26 [50]
So this is easy to calculate when you split the velocity into x and y components. The x component is going to equal cos(53) * 290 and the y component is going to equal sin(53)*290.

The x location therefore is 290*cos(53)*35 = 6108.4m

The y location needs to factor in the downwards acceleration of gravity too, which is 9.81m/s^2. We need the equation dist. = V initial*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2.

This gives us d=290*sin(53)*35 + (0.5*-9.81*35^2)=2097.5m

So your (x,y) coordinates equals (6108.4, 2097.5)

1. What are the two factors affecting friction
bija089 [108]
Answer: a.) Roughness of the surfaces in contact with each other .
Higher the roughness of surfaces in contact with each other, greater is the friction between bodies. Force of friction will be less between smooth surfaces.

b.) Weight of the sliding/rolling body: greater the weight of the moving body on the surface, more is the force of friction on the body by the surface.

I hope this helps
