A student claims that almost all of the energy that we use today is due to the Sun in some way. Argue for or against this statement using the knowledge you've learned about energy transformations. Gary is working on a physics problem in which 100.0 g of water undergoes a phase transition from water to vapour. He comes up with the following answer for the amount of energy in the transition: (0.100 kg) (2.3x 10°)(100.0 °C) =23 x 10' J Is Gary's answer correct? If so, explain. If not, what mistake did Gary make?

A 0.20-kg billiard ball bounces back and forth without losing its energy between the cushions of a 1.5 m long table. (a) If the ball is in its ground state, how many years does it need to get from one cushion to the other? You may compare this time interval to the age of the universe. (b) How much energy is required to make the ball go from its ground state to its first excited state? Compare it with the kinetic energy of the ball moving at 2.0 m/s.
Nuclear fusion, the energy source at the Sun, hydrogen bombs, and fusion reactors, occurs much more readily when the average kinetic energy of me alums is high—that is, at high temperatures. Suppose you want me atoms in your fusion experiment to have average kinetic energies of 6.401014J. What temperature is needed?
The sun energy at a rate of 3.85×10 26 W by the fusion of hydrogen. About 0.7% of each kilogram of hydrogen goes into the energy generated by the Sun. (a) How many kilograms of hydrogen undergo fusion each second? (b) If the sun is 90.0% hydrogen and half of this can undergo fusion before the sun changes character, how long could it produce energy at its current rate? (c) How many kilograms of mass is the sun losing per second? (d) What fraction of its mass will it have lost in the time found in part (b)?
Integrated Concepts (a) Calculate the rate in watts at which heat transfer through radiation occurs (almost entirely in the infrared] from 1.0 m2of the Earth’s surface at night. Assume the emissivity is 0.90, the temperature of the Earth is 15°C, and that of outer space is 2.7 K. (b) Compare the intensity at this radiation with that coming to the Earth from the Sun during the day, which averages about 800 W/m2, only hall of which is absorbed. (c) What is the maximum magnetic field strength in the outgoing radiation, assuming it is a continuous wave?
Satellites designed to observe me radiation from cold (3 K) dark space have sensors that are shaded from the Sun, Earth, and Moon and that are cooled to very low temperatures. Why must the sensors be at low temperature?
