Suppose the Sun moved twice the distance from Earth. Describe immediate and future changes to our planet. Justify your reasoning

1 answer:

5 0

Our year would now be 2.8 times longer, we would also be receiving only 1/4 of the energy from the sun that we currently do. This means that we’d now be out beyond the orbit of Mars and right at the edge of the asteroid belt, and things would rapidly get very cold with temperatures expected to drop by around 50 degrees Celsius on average, and that’s with our current atmospheric composition which would not be stable in the new conditions. And also, any living thing on earth would die.

Problem 3: Thermal expansionThe steel rod has the length 2 m and cross-section area 200 cm2at the room temperature 20◦C. Weapply

zalisa [80]

Answer:

a) 2.00024 m

b) 0.036%

c) 436.67°C

Explanation:

Given

Initial length = L₀ = 2 m

Initial cross sectional Area = A₀ = 200 cm² = 0.02 m²

We can obtain initial volume = V₀ = A₀L₀ = 0.02 × 2 = 0.04 m³

Initial Temperature = T₀ = 20°C

Coefficient of linear expansivity = α = (2 × 10⁻⁶) (°C)⁻¹

a) New length of the rod after heating to 80°C

Linear expansion is given as

ΔL = L₀ × α ×ΔT

ΔL = 2 × 2 × 10⁻⁶ × (80 - 20) = 0.00024 m = 0.24 mm

New length = old length + expansion = 2 + 0.00024 = 2.00024 m

b) The percentage of the volume change of the rod.

Volume expansion is given by

ΔV = V₀ × (3α) × ΔT

Volume expansivity ≈ 3 × (linear expansivity)

ΔV = 0.04 × (3×2×10⁻⁶) × (80 - 20) = 0.0000144 m³

Percentage change in volume = 100% × (ΔV/V₀) = 100% × (0.0000144/0.04) = 0.036%

c) The maximal temperature we can allow if the volume should not increase by more than half percent.

For a half percent increase in volume, the corresponding change in volume needs to be first calculated.

Percentage change in volume = 100% × (ΔV/V₀)

0.5 = 100% × (ΔV/0.04)

(ΔV/0.04) = 0.005

ΔV = 0.0002 m³

Then we now investigate the corresponding temperature that causes this.

ΔV = V₀ × (3α) × ΔT

0.0002 = 0.04 × (3×2×10⁻⁶) × ΔT

ΔT = (0.0002)/(0.04 × 3 × 2 × 10⁻⁶) = 416.67°C

Maximal temperature = T₀ + ΔT = 20 + 416.67 = 436.67°C

By what factors does the speed of the elctron exceed that of the proton?

____ [38]

Answer:

» An electron is lighter than a proton.

explanation:

${ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: has \: formula \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{0}_{ - 1}e }}$

hence it's mass number is zero

${ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: is \: helium \: particle \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{4} _{2}He }}$

hence it's mass number is 4

Therefore, proton is heavier than electron

» An electron has a small charge magnitude than a proton.

Explanation:

An electron has charge of -1 while proton has charge of +2, therefore electron is less deflected by any energetic fields than a proton
