The smallest detail visible with ground-based solar telescopes is about 1 arc second. How large a region (in km) does this repre

sent on the Sun? Hint: Use the small-angle formula: angular diameter (in arc seconds) 2.06 ✕ 105 = linear diameter distance . (Note: The average distance to the Sun can be found in Celestial profile: The Sun.)

Answer:

x = 727.5 km

Explanation:

With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent

tan θ = CO / CA

With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun

D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)

D = 150 10⁹ m.

We must take the given angle to radians.

1º = 3600 arc s

π rad = 180º

θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =

θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad

That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle

θ = x / D

x = θ D

x = 4.85 10-6 150 109

x = 727.5 103 m

x = 727.5 km

A 2 kg block is pushed against a spring (k = 400 N/m), compressing it 0.3 m. When the block is released, it moves along a fricti

Answer:

$2.29 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{s}}=0.4$

$4.58 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{k}}=0.2$

Explanation:

Given values

Mass (m) = 2kg

K = 400 N/M

Compressing it 0.3 m

<u>The law of conservation of energy</u>:

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+\frac{k x^{2}}{2}=\text { constant }$

$\text { Where, } \frac{m v^{2}}{2} \text { is kinetic energy of the block. }$

$\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{2}$ Energy of the spring deformation.

M mass of the block

x spring deformation

Therefore, if block left the spring (x = 0)

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+0=0+\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{2}$

Where, Δl is initial spring deformation

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}=\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{2}$

$\mathrm{v}^{2}=\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{m}$

$\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} \times \Delta l^{2}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{400}{2} \times(0.3)^{2}}$

$\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{200 \times 0.09}$

<u>The law of conservation of energy</u>:

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+m g h=\text { constant }$

Where h is height

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+0=0+m g h$

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}=m g h$

Cancel mass "m" each side

$\mathrm{h}=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g}$

Distance along incline equals

$\begin{array}{ll}{\text { For friction us }} & {\left(L=\frac{h}{u_{s}}\right)} \\ {\text { For friction } u_{k}} & {\left(L=\frac{h}{u_{k}}\right)}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{s}}=0.4} \\ {\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{k}}=0.2} \\ {\text { For friction } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{s}}}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{h}=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g u_{s}}} \\ {\mathrm{L}=\frac{4.24^{2}}{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.4}} \\ {\mathrm{L}=\frac{17.9776}{784}}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{L=2.29 \mathrm{m}} \\ {2.29 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{5}=0.4} \\ {\text { For friction } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{k}}} \\ {\mathrm{L}=\frac{4.24^{2}}{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.2}}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{L=\frac{17.9776}{3.92}} \\ {L=4.58 \mathrm{m}} \\ {4.58 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{5}=0.4}\end{array}$

34kurt

Poder = (resistencia) x (corrente)²

Poder = (10 ohms) x (5 A)²

<em>Poder = 250 watts </em>(250 Joule por segundo)

2 horas = 7,200 segundos

Energia = (250 joule/seg) x (7,200 seg)

<em>Energia = 1,800,000 Joules</em>
