Most stars are main-sequence stars, a group of stars for which size, mass, surface temperature, and radiated power are closely r

elated. The sun, for instance, is a yellow main sequence star with a surface temperature of 5800 K. For a main-sequence star whose mass M is more than twice that of the sun, the total radiated power, relative to the sun, is approximately P/Psun = 1.5(M/Msun)3.5. The star Regulus A is a bluish main-sequence star with mass 3.8Msun and radius 3.1Rsun. What is the surface temperature of Regulus A?

Answer:

the surface temperature of Regulus A is 11724.13 K

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Sun's surface temperature T = 5800 K

total radiated power, relative to the sun is; P/P $_{sun$ = $($ 1.5(M/M $_{sun$ $)^{3.5$

The star Regulus A is a bluish main-sequence star with mass 3.8M $_{sun$ and radius 3.1R $_{sun$ .

First, we determine the value power emitted by the sun or sun as follows;

P = eσAT⁴

where P is the power, e is surface emissivity, σ is Stefan Boltzmann, A is area and T is temperature.

so, lets assume emissivity of star and sun is same;

let p be power related to star and p $_{sun$ be power related sun.

Ratio of power radiated by star and power radiated by sun;

P/P $_{sun$ = eσAT⁴ / eσA $_{sun$ T $_{sun$ ⁴

we know that AREA A = πR²

we input the formula for area

P/P $_{sun$ = eσ(πR²)T⁴ / eσ(π(R $_{sun$ )²)T $_{sun$ ⁴

such that we now have;

P/P $_{sun$ = R²T⁴ / R $_{sun$ ²T $_{sun$ ⁴

given that P/P $_{sun$ = $($ 1.5(M/M $_{sun$ $)^{3.5$ , we substitute

$($ 1.5(M/M $_{sun$ $)^{3.5$ = R²T⁴ / R $_{sun$ ²T $_{sun$ ⁴

we find temperature of the star T

T = 5800 × $[$ 1.5 $($ M/M $_{sun$ $)^{3.5$ (R $_{sun$ ²/R²) $]^{1/4$

Given that; mass M is 3.8M $_{sun$ and radius R is 3.1R $_{sun$ .

we substitute

T = 5800 × $[$ 1.5 $($ 3.8M $_{sun$ /M $_{sun$ $)^{3.5$ (R $_{sun$ ²/( 3.1R $_{sun$ )²) $]^{1/4$

T = 5800 × $[$ 1.5 $($ 3.8 $)^{3.5$ ( 1/( 3.1)²) $]^{1/4$

T = 5800 × $[$ 1.5( 106.9652 ) ( 1/(9.61) $]^{1/4$

T = 5800 × $[$ 16.69592 $]^{1/4$

T = 5800 × 2.02140152

T = 11724.13 K

Therefore, the surface temperature of Regulus A is 11724.13 K

If the second harmonic of a certain string is 42 Hz, what is the fundamental frequency of the string?

sdas [7]

Data:
$f_{2} = 42 Hz$
n (Wave node)
V (Wave belly)
L (Wave length)
<span>The number of bells is equal to the number of the harmonic emitted by the string.
</span>
$f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}$

Wire 2 → 2º Harmonic → n = 2

$f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}$
$f_{2} = \frac{2V}{2L} 
$
$2V = f_{2} *2L$
$V = \frac{ f_{2}*2L }{2}$
$V = \frac{42*2L}{2}$
$V = \frac{84L}{2}$
$V = 42L$

Wire 1 → 1º Harmonic or Fundamental rope → n = 1

$f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}$
$f_{1} = \frac{1V}{2L}$
$f_{1} = \frac{V}{2L}$

If, We have:
V = 42L
Soon:
$f_{1} = \frac{V}{2L}$
$f_{1} = \frac{42L}{2L}$
$\boxed{f_{1} = 21 Hz}$

Answer:

<span>The fundamental frequency of the string:
</span>21 Hz

cup of hot chocolate has a spoon in it. How does the heat move from the hot chocolate to the metal spoon handle?

serg [7]

The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.

It is the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are in contact with eachother.

Hope this answers your question.

You throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.

Andru [333]

Answer:

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the ball are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the ball at time t.

Placing the origin at the throwing point, y0 = 0.

Let´s use the equation of velocity to obtain the time at which the velocity is 12.0 m/s / 2 = 6.00 m/s.

v = v0 + g · t

6.00 m/s = 12.0 m/s -9.81 m/s² · t

(6.00 - 12.0)m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 0.612 s

Now, let´s calculate the height of the baseball at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (y0 = 0)

y = 12.0 m/s · 0.612 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (0.612 s)²

y = 5.51 m

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Have a nice day!
