The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is a good approximation to assume tha

t the emissivity e is equal to 1 for these surfaces. Part A Find the radius RRigel of the star Rigel, the bright blue star in the constellation Orion that radiates energy at a rate of 2.7×1031W and has a surface temperature of 11,000 K. Assume that the star is spherical. Use σ=5.67×10−8W/m2⋅K4 for the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and express your answer numerically in meters to two significant figures. RRigel = 5.1×1010 m SubmitHintsMy AnswersGive UpReview Part Correct This is over 50 times the size of our own sun and about a third of the orbital radius of the earth around the sun. Rigel is an example of a supergiant star. Part B Find the radius RProcyonB of the star Procyon B, which radiates energy at a rate of 2.1×1023W and has a surface temperature of 10,000 K. Assume that the star is spherical. Use σ=5.67×10−8W/m2⋅K4 for the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and express your answer numerically in meters to two significant figures. RProcyonB = 1.61•1011 m

Answer:

A) 5.1*10^10m B) 5.4*10^6m

Explanation:

Utilizing the formula for surface radiation P (energy per second in Watts) = emissivity constant * surface area * Stefan-Boltzmann constant * Temperature in Kelvin^4 *

2.7*10^31 = 1* 5.67*10^-8*A*11000^4

Rearranging to solve for A = 2.7*10^31 / (5.67*10^-8*1.46*10^16) = 0.3261*10^23m^2

Assuming the shape is spherical, the surface area is = 4πR^2 (radius of Rigel)

R = √(0.3261*10^23 / 4*π) = 5.1 * 10^10m

B) repeating the same calculation

2.1 *10^23 = 1*A*5.67*10^-8*10000^4 where A is the surface area of Procyon

Rearranging gives A = 2.1*10^23/(5.67*10^-8*10^16)

A = 0.37*10^15

Assuming the star is spherical;

A = 4πR^2 where R is Procyon's radius

R = √(0.37*10^15/4π) = 5.4*10^6m

On a caterpillars map all distances are marked in kilometers . The caterpillars map shows the distance between two milkweed plan
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

The equivalent distance in kilometers is 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

Explanation:

It's known that 1 millimeter converts to 10^{-3} meters. Then, 1 meter converts to 10^{-3} kilometers. Therefore, the conversion for 1 millimeter to kilometers can be stated as

1 mm = 10^{-3} m

1 m = 10^{-3} km

Thus, 1 mm = 10^{-3}×10^{-3} km = 10^{-6} km.

Given the distance of 4012 mm, the corresponding distance in kilometers will be

4012 mm = 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

The distance therefore is 4012 ×10^{-6} km.
