Consider an opaque horizontal plate that is well insulated on its back side. The irradiation on the plate is 2500 W/m2, of which
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

i. 0.34

ii. 0.4

iii. 1700 w/m²

iv. 2211.36 w/m²

Explanation:

Given that

Irradiation of the plate, G = 2500 w/m²

Reflected rays, p = 500 w/m²

Emissive power, E = 1200 w/m²

A student falls off a cliff into the lake 54.0 m below. What is the final velocity of the student?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards

Explanation:

This is a free fall exercise, let's use the expression

         v_{y}^{2} = v_{oy}^{2} + 2 g (y -yo)

where we are assuming that there is friction with the air, as the body falls its initial velocity is zero

         v_{oy} = √ 2g (y - y₀)

let's calculate

         v_{y} = √ (2 9.8 (0-54.0))

         v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards

A planet is 10 light years away from Earth. What speed would you need to go for a trip to the planet and back to take only 5 yea
viva [34]

Answer:

a. speed, v = 0.97 c

b. time, t' = 20.56 years

Given:

t' = 5 years

distance of the planet from the earth, d = 10 light years = 10 c

Solution:

(a) Distance travelled in a round trip, d' = 2d = 20 c = L'

Now, using Length contraction formula of relativity theory:

L'' = L'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}                           (1)

time taken = 5 years

We know that :

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

5 = \frac{L''}{v}                                                      (2)

Dividing eqn (1) by v on both the sides and substituting eqn (2) in eqn (1):

\frac{L'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}{v} = 5

\frac{20'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}{v} = 5

Squaring both the sides and Solving above eqution, we get:

v = 0.97 c

(b) Time observed from Earth:

Using time dilation:

t'' = \frac{t'}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

t'' = \frac{5}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.97c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

Solving the above eqn:

t'' = 20.56 years
