Explanation:

The orbital radius of the Earth is r_1=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital radius of the Mercury is r_2=5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m

The orbital radius of the Pluto is r_3=5.91 \times 10^{12}\ m

We need to find the time required for light to travel from the Sun to each of the  three planets.

(a) For Sun -Earth,

Kepler's third law :

T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}r_1^3

M is mass of sun, M=1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg

So,

T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 1.496\times 10^{11}\\\\T_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times1.496\times10^{11}}\\\\T_1=2\times 10^{-4}\ s

(b) For Sun -Mercury,

T_2^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m\\\\T_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}}\ m\\\\T_2=1.31\times 10^{-4}\ s

(c) For Sun-Pluto,

T_3^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}\\\\T_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}}\\\\T_3=1.32\times 10^{-3}\ s

During light activity, a 70-kg person may generate 200 kcal
Lerok [7]

Answer:

2.75387\ ^{\circ}

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

c = Specific heat of human body = 0.83\ J/kg^{\circ}C

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Time taken is 1 hour

Heat is given by

Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{Q}{mc}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{0.8\times 200\times 1}{70\times 0.83}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=2.75387\ ^{\circ}C

The rise in temperature is 2.75387\ ^{\circ}C

For a given Prandtl-Meyer expansion, the upstream Mach number is 3 and the pressure ratio across the wave is P2/P1 = 0.4. Calcul
loris [4]

Answer:

The angle for the forward Mach line is 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is 5.21°

Explanation:

From table A-1 (Modern Compressible Flow: with historical perspective):

\frac{P_{o} }{P_{1} } =36.73 (M₁ = 3)

If Po₁ = Po₂

\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =\frac{P_{o1} }{P_{1} } *\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =36.73*\frac{1}{4} =91.825

Table A-1:

\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =91.825,M_{2} =3.63

Table A-5:

v₁ = 49.76°

μ₁ = 19.47°

v₂ = 60.55°

μ₂ = 16°

θ = 60.55 - 49.76 = 10.79°

The angle for the forward Mach line is:

μ₁ = 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is:

θr = μ₂ - θ = 16 - 10.79 = 5.21°
