Light is shining perpendicularly on the surface of the earth with an intensity of 680 W/m^2. Assuming that all the photons in th

e light have the same wavelength (in vacuum) of 678 nm, determine the number of photons per second per square meter that reach the earth.

Answer:

3.066×10^21  photons/(s.m^2)

Explanation:

The power per area is:

Power/A = (# of photons /t /A)×(energy / photon)

E/photons = h×c/(λ)

photons /t /A = (Power/A)×λ /(h×c)  

photons /t /A = (P/A)×λ/(hc)

photons /t /A = (680)×(678×10^-9)/(6.63×10^-34)×(3×10^-8)

                      = 3.066×10^21

Therefore, the number of photons per second per square meter 3.066×10^21  photons/(s.m^2).

which has a higher acceleration:a 10kg object acted upon with a net force of 20N or an 18kg object acted on by a net force of 20
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
<span>Answer: The acceleration of 10 kg object is greater than that of 18 kg object.

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (A)

Let's find the acceleration for both 10 kg and 18 kg objects!
The net force on both of these masses = F = 20N

(1) Acceleration of 10 kg object
Mass = m = 10 kg
Plug in the values in equation (A):
20 = 10 * a
Acceleration = a = 2 m/s^2

(2) Acceleration of 18 kg object
Mass = m = 18 kg
Plug in the values in equation (A):

20 = 18 * a
Acceleration = a = 1.11 m/s^2


2 > 1.11; therefore, 10 kg object has the higher acceleration compared to the acceleration of the 18 kg object.</span>

A car is moving at 10 m/s to the right. It accelerates for 10 s after which it is moving at 5 m/s to the left. What was the car'
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=-1.5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 10 m/s (in right)

Final velocity of the car, v = -5 m/s (in left)  

Time taken, t = 10 s

Let a is the acceleration of the car. It can be calculated using the equation of kinematics. The equation is as :

v=u+at

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{-5-10}{10}    

a=-1.5\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is -1.5\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Solar energy is a clean, renewable energy source. It is expensive to build a solar plant, but there is no fuel cost only mainten
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Energy production requires the setting up of a complete interconnected chain from generation of energy from the root source of the energy to the storage of the generated energy and the eventual utilization of the energy when required

Solar energy, indirectly, continues to be the main source of energy, however, the direct use of solar energy to power the systems we use in our everyday life, require the development of technologies, such as high efficiency solar cells, means of energy storage, and compatible efficient energy usage which are industrial areas that are seeing good progress but in which the current developed equipment are expensive to produce, and  due to their efficiency, are undergoing further research and development

Therefore, due to the continuous increasing improvement in solar technology which can observed, the use of the produced energy through solar is evolving, and therefore, will continue to play a continuously increasing but lower role compared to other sources of energy which have been developed to satisfactory level that can drive an industry, considering the financial investment involved

fredd [130]

Terminal velocity (Maximum velocity) is 9.8 meters a second. m/s.

If you wanted the exact answer, you would need the distance from the window to the ground; and than divide by 3.0. Otherwise, 9.8 meters a second would be your best bet.
