Annette [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for the painter.  There are three forces acting on him.  The tension in the rope pulling him up, the normal force of the chair pushing him up, and gravity pulling him down.

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

T + N - W = ma

Since the painter is at rest, a = 0.

T + N - W = 0

T = W - N

T = Mg - N

Now draw a free body diagram of the chair.  The chair has three forces acting on it also.  The tension in the rope pulling it up, the normal force pushing down, and gravity pulling down.

Newton's second law for the chair:

∑F = ma

T - W - N = ma

Since the chair is also not accelerating, a = 0:

T - W - N = 0

T = W + N

T = mg + N

Now we have two equations and two variables.  If we add the equations together, we can eliminate N:

2T = Mg + mg

2T = (M + m) g

T = (M + m) g / 2

Given that M = 55 kg, m = 10 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

T = (55 + 10) (9.8) / 2

T = 318.5 N

If we round to two sig-figs, the tension in the rope is 320 N.

Installed on your roof is a solar panel that has a surface area of 1.00 m2 . How many photons from the Sun reach the panel? Assu
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

3.95241\times 10^{21}\ Photons/second

Explanation:

h = Planck's Constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2\kgs

A = Area = 1 m²

Distance between Earth and Sun = 1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

\lambda = Wavelength = 580 nm

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Power output of Sun

P=3.83\times 10^{26}\ W

Intensity

I=\frac{P}{4\pi d^2}\times A\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{3.83\times 10^{26}}{4\pi (1.5\times 10^{11})^2}\times 1\\\Rightarrow I=1354.5854\ W

Energy of photons

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{580\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow E=3.42724\times 10^{-19}\ J

Number of photons

N=\frac{I}{E}\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{1354.5854}{3.42724\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow N=3.95241\times 10^{21}\ Photons/second

The number of photons are 3.95241\times 10^{21}\ Photons/second
