The closest stars are 4 light years away from us. How far away must you be from a 854 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for t

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The distance from the radio station is 0.28 light years away.

Solution:

As per the question:

Distance, d = 4 ly

Frequency of the radio station, f = 854 kHz = $854\times 10^{3}\ Hz$

Power, P = 50 kW = $50\times 10^{3}\ W$

$I_{p} = 1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

Now,

From the relation:

P = nhf

where

n = no. of photons/second

h = Planck's constant

f = frequency

Now,

$n = \frac{P}{hf} = \frac{50\times 10^{3}}{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 854\times 10^{3}} = 8.836\times 10^{31}\ photons/s$

Area of the sphere, A = $4\pi r^{2}$

Now,

Suppose the distance from the radio station be 'r' from where the intensity of the photon is $1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

$I_{p} = \frac{n}{A} = \frac{n}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$1 = \frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}} = 2.65\times 10^{15}\ m$

Now,

We know that:

1 ly = $9.4607\times 10^{15}\ m$

Thus

$r = \frac{2.65\times 10^{15}}{9.4607\times 10^{15}} = 0.28\ ly$

Your friends sit in a sled in the snow. If you apply a force pf 75 N to them, they have an acceleration of 0.9 m/s ^ 2. What is

Elza [17]

Answer:

Mass of the sled in the snow 83.33 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied to move the sled in the snow (F) = 75N

$\text { Acceleration }(a)=0.9 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

We know that

Newton's second law of motion is

$\text { Force }=\text { mass } \times \text { acceleration }$

F = ma (Or "force" is equal to "mass" times "acceleration".)

So if we move this around we can isolate mass and get mass

$\text { Mass }=\frac{\text { force }}{\text { accelearation }}$

$\mathrm{M}=\frac{75}{0.9}$

M = 83.33 kg

Mass of the sled in the snow 83.33 kg.

Consider the following three statements: (i) For any electro-magnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency

Scilla [17]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$c=frequency\times Wavelength$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Thus, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is constant and equal to $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Option A is correct.

Given, Frequency = $1\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

Thus, Wavelength is:

$Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}$

$Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^{18}}\ m$

$Wavelength=3\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Also, 1 m = $3\times 10^{-10}$ Å

So,

Wavelength = 3.0 Å

Option B is correct.

As stated above, the speed of electromagnetic radiation is constant. Hence, each radiation of the spectrum travels with same speed.

Option C is incorrect.
