Answer:

The value is $N = 1.107 *10^{45 } \ photons$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power output from the sun is $P_o = 4 * 10^{26} \ W$

The average wavelength of each photon is $\lambda = 550 \ nm = 550 *10^{-9} \ m$

Generally the energy of each photon emitted is mathematically represented as

$E_c = \frac{h * c }{ \lambda }$

Here h is the Plank's constant with value $h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

So

$E_c = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }{ 550 *10^{-9} }$

=> $E_c = 3.614 *10^{-19} \ J$

Generally the number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second is mathematically represented as

$N = \frac{P }{E_c}$

=> $N = \frac{4 * 10^{26} }{3.614 *10^{-19}}$

=> $N = 1.107 *10^{45 } \ photons$

An object of mass m is traveling in a circle with centripetal force Fc. If the velocity of the object is v, what is the radius o

borishaifa [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force:
$F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'r'.

Multiply both sides by r:
$r * F_c = mv^2$

Divide both sides by Fc:
$\boxed{ r= \frac{mv^2}{F_c}}$

a 45 kg ice skater initially skating at a velocity of 3 m/s speeds up to a velocity of 5 m/s. calculate the difference in the ma

ad-work [718]

Answer: 90 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum (linear momentum) $p$ is given by the following equation:

$p=m.V$

Where:

$m=45 kg$ is the mass of the skater

$V$ is the velocity

In this situation the skater has two values of momentum:

Initial momentum: $p_{1}=m.V_{1}$

Final momentum: $p_{2}=m.V_{2}$

Where:

$V_{1}=3 m/s$

$V_{1}=5 m/s$

So, if we want to calculate the difference in the magnitude of the skater's momentum, we have to write the following equation(assuming the mass of the skater remains constant):

$p=p_{2}-p_{1}=m.V_{2}-m.V_{1}$

$p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})$

$p=45 kg(5 m/s - 3 m/s)$

Finally:

$p=90 kgm/s$

goblinko [34]

Answer:

$v"_{1} = v_{1} tan$ Θ

$v^{"} _{2} = \frac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}cos}$ Θ

Θ = $tan^{-1}(\frac{v^{"} _{1} }{v_{1} } )$

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum, we have:

Δ $p_{x = 0}$

$p_{x} = p"_{x}$

$m_{1}v_{1} = m_{2}v"_{2} cos$ Θ (Equation 1)

Δ $p_{y} = 0$

$p_{y} = p"_{y}$

$0 = m_{1} v"_{1} - m_{2} v"_{2} sin$ Θ (Equation 2)

From Equation 1:

$v"_{2} = \frac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}cos}$ Θ

From Equation 2:

$m_{2} v"_{2}$ sinΘ = $m_{1} v_{1}$

$v"_{1} = \frac{m_{2} v"_{2}sinΘ}{m_{1} }$

Replacing Equation 3 in Equation 4:

$v"_{1}=\frac{m_{2}\frac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}cosΘ}sinΘ}{m_{1}}$

$v"_{1}=v_{1}\frac{sinΘ}{cosΘ}$

$v"_{1}=v_{1}tan$ Θ (Equation 5)

And we found Θ from the Equation 5:

tanΘ= $\frac{v"_{1}}{v_{1}}$

Θ= $tan^{-1}(\frac{v"_{1}}{v_{1}})$
