Answer:
Approximating the Milky Way as a disk and using the density in the solar neighborhood, there are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way.
Explanation:
Since we are making an order of magnitude estimate, we will make a series of simplifying assumptions to get an answer that is roughly right.
Let's model the Milky Way galaxy as a disk.
The volume of a disk is:

Is the approximate volume of the Milky Way.
Now, all we need to do is find how many stars per cubic meter (
ρ
) are in the Milky Way and we can find the total number of stars.
Let's look at the neighborhood around the Sun. We know that in a sphere with a radius of
4
×

m there is exactly one star (the Sun), after that you hit other stars. We can use that to estimate a rough density for the Milky Way.

Explanation:
Suppose your actual height is 5 feet and 5.2 inches. A tape measure which can be read tothe nearest 1/8 of an inch gives your height as 65 3/8 inches. The laser device at the clinic that givesreadings to the nearest hundredth of an inch says you are 65.31 inches.
Required:
a. Which measuring device is more accurate?
b. Which measuring device is more precise?
Answer:
a) The laser device
b) The tape
Explanation:
First, there is a need to understand what accuracy and precision mean.
Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to its true (pre-determined) value.
Precision is the closeness of repeated measurements to each other.
Since 1 feet = 12 inches, then, 5 feet and 5.2 inches would be equivalent to 65.2 inches. This value represents the true value of my height.
The tape measured the height as 65 3/8, which is equivalent to 65.375 inches.
The laser device measured the height as 65.31.
Error = true value - measured value
Absolute error from the tape = 65.2 - 65.375
= -0.175 inches
Absolute error from laser device = 65.2 - 65.31
= -0.11
a) The magnitude of error from the tape is more than that of the laser device. Hence, the laser device is said to be more accurate.
b) Even though there were just single readings from both instruments, the tape can be read to the nearest 1/8 of an inch and as such, can give more precisive measurements than the laser device.

A runner has a temperature of 40°c and is giving off heat at the rate of 50cal/s (a) What is the rate of heat loss in watts? (b) How long will it take for this person's temperature to return to 37°c if his mass is 90kg.
Answer:
(a) 209 Watt
(b) 4482.8 seconds
Explanation:
(a) P = 50×4.18
Where P = rate of heat loss in watt
P = 209 Watt
Applying,
Q = cm(t₁-t₂)................ Equation 1
Where Q = amount of heat given off, c = specific heat capacity capacity of human, m = mass of the person, t₁ and t₂ = initial and final temperature.
From the question,
Given: m = 90 kg, t₁ = 40°C, t₂ = 37°C
Constant: c = 3470 J/kg.K
Substtut these values into equation 1
Q = 90×3470(40-37)
Q = 936900 J
But,
P = Q/t.............. Equation 2
Where t = time
t = Q/P............ Equation 3
Given: P = 209 Watt, Q = 936900
Substitute into equation 3
t = 936900/209
t = 4482.8 seconds

A, 0
B, 16 J
C, 72 J
D, 450 J
E, 90 J
=F×s×cosa=2×g×0,8×cos90°= 0
The work done by gravity on a ball of 2 kg which is moving with a constant speed of 6 meter per second is zero. Thus, the correct option is A.
What is Work?Work is the energy transfer to or from an object through the application of force along with the displacement. For a constant force aligned with the direction of motion, the work done is equal to the product of the force strength which is applied and the distance traveled by the object.
Work = Force × Displacement
Force = Mass × Acceleration
Acceleration of the ball is zero as it is moving with a constant speed. Therefore, the work done by the gravity is zero.
Therefore, the correct option is A.

1. A 2.7-kg copper block is given an initial speed of 4.0 m/s on a rough horizontal surface. Because of friction, the block finally comes to rest. (a) If the block absorbs 85% of its initial kinetic energy as internal energy, calculate its increase in temperature.
Answer:
ΔT = 0.017 °C
Explanation:
According to the given condition, the change in internal energy of the block must be equal to 85% of its kinetic energy:
Change in Internal Energy = (0.85)(Kinetic Energy)
[tex]mC\Delta T = (0.85)\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\C\Delta T = (0.425)v^2\\\\\Delta T = \frac{0.425v^2}{C}[/tex]
where,
ΔT = increase in temperature = ?
v = speed of block = 4 m/s
C = specific heat capacity of copper = 389 J/kg.°C
Therefore,
[tex]\Delta T = \frac{(0.425)(4\ m/s)^2}{389}\\\\[/tex]
ΔT = 0.017 °C
An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. When a 2.0-kg mass hangs at rest from it the spring is extended 6.0 cm from its relaxed length. A downward external force is now applied to the mass to extend the spring an additional 10 cm. While the spring is being extended by the force, the work done by the spring is:
a. -3.6 J
b. -3.3 F
c. -3.4 times 10^-5 J
d. 3.3 J
e. 3.6 J
Answer:
b) - 3.3 J
Explanation:
Given;
mass, m = 2 kg
initial extension of the spring, x = 6 cm = 0.06 m
The weight of the mass on the spring;
W = mg
where;
g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
W = 2 x 9.81
W = 19.62 N
The spring constant is calculated as;
W = kx
k = W/x
k = 19.62 / 0.06
k = 327 N/m
The work done by the spring when it is extended to an additional 10 cm;
work done = force x distance
distance = extension, x = 10 cm = 0.1 m
The work done by the spring opposes the applied force by acting in opposite direction to the force.
W = - Fx
W = - (kx) x
W = - kx²
W = - (327) x (0.1)²
W = - 3.27 J
W ≅ - 3.3 J
Therefore, the work done by the spring by opposing the applied force is -3.3 J
The US currently produces about 27 GW of electrical power from solar installations. Natural gas, coal, and oil powered installations produce about 740 GW of electrical power. The average intensity of electromagnetic radiation from the sun on the surface of the earth is 1000 W/m2 . If solar panels are 30% efficient at converting this incident radiation into electrical power, what is the total surface area of solar panels responsible for the 27 GW of power currently produced
Answer:
The total surface area is "90 km²".
Explanation:
Given:
Power from solar installations,
= 27 GW
Other natural installations,
= 740 GW
Intensity,
[tex]\frac{F}{At}=\frac{P}{A}=1000 \ W/m^2[/tex]
%n,

As we know,
⇒ [tex]I=\frac{P}{A}[/tex]
by substituting the values, we get
[tex]1000=\frac{90\times 10^9}{A}[/tex]
[tex]A = \frac{90\times 10^9}{10^3}[/tex]

An equation for the period of a planet is 4 pie² r³/Gm where T is in secs, r is in meters, G is in m³/kgs² m is in kg, show that the equation is dimensionally correct.
Answer:
[tex]\displaystyle T = \sqrt{\frac{4\, \pi^{2} \, r^{3}}{G \cdot m}}[/tex].
The unit of both sides of this equation are [tex]\rm s[/tex].
Explanation:
The unit of the left-hand side is [tex]\rm s[/tex], same as the unit of [tex]T[/tex].
The following makes use of the fact that for any non-zero value [tex]x[/tex], the power [tex]x^{-1}[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}[/tex].
On the right-hand side of this equation:
[tex]\pi[/tex] has no unit.The unit of [tex]r[/tex] is [tex]\rm m[/tex].The unit of [tex]G[/tex] is [tex]\displaystyle \rm \frac{m^{3}}{kg \cdot s^{2}}[/tex], which is equivalent to [tex]\rm m^{3} \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2}[/tex].The unit of [tex]m[/tex] is [tex]\rm kg[/tex].[tex]\begin{aligned}& \rm \sqrt{\frac{(m)^{3}}{(m^{3} \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2}) \cdot (kg)}} \\ &= \rm \sqrt{\frac{m^{3}}{m^{3} \cdot s^{-2}}} = \sqrt{s^{2}} = s\end{aligned}[/tex].
Hence, the unit on the right-hand side of this equation is also [tex]\rm s[/tex].

The source of sound moves away from the listener.The listener has the impression that the source is lower in pitch. Why?
When the source is moving away from the observer the velocity of the source is added to the speed of light. This increases the value of the denominator, decreasing the value of the observed frequency. Frequency corresponds to pitch or tone; a lower observed frequency will result in a lower observed pitch.

The intensity of the electromagnetic wave in terms of the electric field is 0.00298 W/m² and the intensity of the electromagnetic wave in terms of the magnetic field is 1.193x10⁻⁶ W/m².
The intensity of the electromagnetic wave is related to the electric field as well as to the magnetic field.
a) Intensity of the electromagnetic wave for the electromagnetic field.
The intensity of the electromagnetic wave (I) in terms of the electromagnetic field is given by:

E: is the magnitude of the electric field = 1.5 V/m
ε₀: is the permittivity of free space = 8.85*10⁻¹² C²/Nm²
Hence, the intensity of the electromagnetic wave (eq 1) is:
[tex] I = \frac{(1.5 V/m)^{2}*3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s*8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} C^{2}/(N*m^{2})}{2} = 0.00298 W/m^{2} [/tex]
b) Intensity of the electromagnetic wave for the magnetic field
We can calculate the intensity of the electromagnetic wave (I) in terms of the magnetic field with the following equation:
