When a red giant dies, before it becomes a WHITE DWARF (small, dim, hot star) that eventually becomes a BLACK DWARF (remnant, da

rk, cold matter), it explodes into what?

some massive black dwarfs may eventually produce <u>supernova explosions. </u>These will occur if pycnonuclear (density-based) fusion processes much of the star to iron, which would lower the Chandrasekhar limit for some black dwarfs below their actual mass.

the average power of the Sun is 3.79x1026 Watts, answer the following questions: 13. What is the average intensity of light at E

Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Average power of sun $P=3.79\times10^{26}\ Watt$

We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position

Using formula of intensity

$I=\dfrac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}$

Where, I = intensity

P = power

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{3.79\times10^{26}}{4\pi\times(1.496\times10^{11})^2}$

$I=1347.616\ W/m^2$

So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².

(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully reflective

$P = \dfrac{2I}{c}$

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{2\times1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=8.984\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

(B). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully absorptive

$P=\dfrac{I}{c}$

$P=\dfrac{1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=4.492\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

Hence, This is the required solution.

What is atomic theory and how has it changed over time?

vazorg [7]

<span>In chemistry and physics, the atomic theory explains how our understanding of the atom has changed over time. Atoms were once thought to be the smallest pieces of matter. The first idea of the atom came from the Greek philosopher Democritus. Hope I helped!!</span>

The stopcock connecting a 2.14 L bulb containing oxygen gas at a pressure of 8.19 atm, and a 9.84 L bulb containing krypton gas

marshall27 [118]

Answer : The final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

or,

$P_1V_1+P_2V_2=P_fV_f$

where,

$P_1$ = first pressure = 8.19 atm

$P_2$ = second pressure = 2.65 atm

$V_1$ = first volume = 2.14 L

$V_2$ = second volume = 9.84 L

$P_f$ = final pressure = ?

$V_f$ = final volume = 2.14 L + 9.84 L = 11.98 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$8.19atm\times 2.14L+2.65atm\times 9.84L=P_f\times 11.98L$

$P_f=3.64atm$

Therefore, the final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm

The stiffness of a particular spring is 42 N/m. One end of the spring is attached to a wall. A force of 2 N is required to hold

Liula [17]

Answer:

$L_{o}=0.1224m$

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

$F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m$
