If the Sun subtends a solid angle Ω on the sky, and the flux from the Sun just above the Earth’s atmosphere, integrated over all
Arada [10]

Answer:

A)Ω = 7.8 × 10^−5 steradians.

B) TE = 5800K

C) fλ(λ1) = (π ^2 ) /ΩBλ(T)

Explanation:

A) First of all, if we assume that the Sun emits isotropically at a luminosity (L⊙) , the flux at a given distance R from the sun would be f(d) = L⊙/ (4πd^2)

The ratio of flux at the solar photosphere to the flux at the Earth’s atmosphere would be: F⊙/{f(d⊙)} = (R⊙)^2 / (d⊙)^2

Now if we think of this relationship of the flux and the earth as a conical pattern, we'll deduce that the solid angle subtended by the sun at Earth’s surface to be;

Ω = π[(R⊙)^2 / (d⊙)^2]

Combining this with the ratio earlier gotten, well arrive at;

F⊙ = {f(d⊙ )π} /Ω

Now let's express The radius of the sun (R) in terms of its angular diameter (2α) and this gives;

R⊙ ≈ αd⊙

Now combining this with the equation for Ω earlier, we get;

Ω ≈ πα^2

So, = π((0.57/2π) /180)^2 = 7.8 × 10^−5 steradians.

B) from Stefan-Boltzmann Law,

F⊙ = σ(TE)^4

From the beginning, we know that;

F⊙ = {f(d⊙ )π} /Ω

And so replacing that in the stephan boltzmann law, we get ;

{f(d⊙ )π} /Ωσ = (TE)^4

So, (TE)^4 = {π (1.4 kWm^(−2))} / [(7.8 × 10^(−5 ) steradians x (5.66961 × 10^(−8))]

In stephan boltzmann law, σ = 5.66961 × 10^(−8)

And so, TE is approximately 5800K.

C) In order to relate fλ(λ1) with T, let's assume the sun’s surface to be an isotropically emitting blackbody, i.e its specific intensity is Iλ = Bλ(T). Hence, the flux at Sun’s surface for a given wavelength would be;

Fλ(λ1) = πBλ(T)

Now, if we combine this with the expression of F⊙ gotten earlier, well get the relation;

fλ(λ1) = (π ^2 ) /ΩBλ(T)

a 300-gram toy car and a 500-gram toy car are sitting on a shelf that is 2 meters highter than the floor. by what percent is the
andre [41]
We are given:

m1 = 300 grams
m2 = 500 grams
h1 = h2 = 2 meters

We have to determine the potential energy of both toy cars:

PE = mgh
PE1 = m1gh1
PE1 = 300 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE1 = 5.886 Joules

PE2 = m2gh2
PE2 = 500 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE2 = 9.81 Joules

PE2 - PE1 / PE2

9.81 - 5.886 Joules / 9.81 joules * 100 = 40.0%

Therefore, the 500-gram car is greater by 40% in terms of potential energy than the 300-gram car. This is because mass is directly proportional to the potential energy of an object.

Two particles, each of mass 7.0 kg, are a distance 3.0 m apart. To bring a third particle, with mass 21 kg, from far away to a r
garri49 [273]

Answer: the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Explanation:

Given that;

Mass M1 = 7.0 kg

r = 3.0/2 m = 1.5 m

Mass M2 = 21 kg

we know that G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

work done by an external agent W = -2GM2M1 / r

so we substitute

W = (-2 × 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 21 × 7) / 1.5

W = -1.96098 × 10⁻⁸ / 1.5

W = -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Therefore the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
