The intensity of sunlight hitting the surface of the earth on a cloudy day is about 0.50 kw/m2 assuming your pupil can close dow

n to a diameter of 2.0 mm and that the average wavelength of visible light is 550 nm, how many photons per second of visible light enter your eye if you look up at the sky on a cloudy day

To determine the number of photons emitted per second, we need data on the total power of the system and the total energy of the photons. We determine the power by multiplying the total area to the intensity of the sunlight given. We do as follows:

Power = 0.50 kW / m^2 ( π (0.001^2)) = 1.57x10^-6 kW = 1.57x10^-3 W

The energy of the visible light can be calculated from the expression:

Energy = hc / wavelength

where h is the planck's constant and c is the speed of light

Energy = (6.63 x 10^-34) (3 x 10^8) / 550 x 10^-9
Energy = 3.62 x 10^-19 J

Number of photons per second =  1.57x10^-3 J/s / 3.62 x 10^-19 J
Number of photons per second = 4.34x10^15

You drop your keys in a high-speed elevator going up at a constant speed. Part APart complete Do the keys accelerate faster towa
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

a) No, the keys were initially moving upward in the elevator only effects the initial velocity of the key and not the rate of change of velocity that is acceleration. So, the keys accelerate with the same acceleration as before.

b)Yes, keys will accelerate towards the floor faster if it is a constant speed than it is moving downward because if the elevator is accelerating downward, the downward change in velocity of the keys is at least partially matched by a downward change in the velocity of the of the elevator.

A 1 kg coconut falls vertically from a height of 10 meters. Use the principle of conservation of mechanical
Kay [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Question 1:

Mass=1kg

Acceleration due to gravity=9.8m/s^2

Height=10m

on the before falling it has potential energy

Potential energy=mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Potential energy=1 x 9.8 x 10

Potential energy=98 joules

Question 2:

Potential energy=kinetic energy base base on energy transformation

Kinetic energy=(mass x (velocity)^2)➗2

98=(1 x(velocity))^2 ➗ 2

Cross multiplying

98 x 2=(velocity)^2

196=(velocity)^2

Velocity=√(196)

Velocity=14

Velocity=14m/s

A migrating salmon heads in the direction n 45° e, swimming at 2 mi/h relative to the water. the prevailing ocean currents flow
Sophie [7]
Calculate for the x and y-components of the velocities involved in this item.

 2 mi/h (45° east)
  x-component = (2 mi/h)(sin 45°)
                     = 1.41 mi/h
  y-component = (2 mil/h)(cos 45°)
                     = 1.41 mi/h

4 mi/h (east)
  x-component = 4 mi/h
  y-component = 0 mi/h

Adding up the corresponding components:
     x-component = 5.4142 mi/h

     y-component = 1.4142 mi/h

Calculating for the resultant,
        R = sqrt ((x²) + (y²))
   
        R = sqrt ((5.4142 mi/h)² + (1.4142 mi/h)²)
             R = 5.60 mi/h

Answer: 5.6 mi/h
