Our Sun shines bright with a luminosity of 3.828 x 1026 Watt. Her energy is responsible for manyprocesses and the habitable temperatures on the Earth that make our life possible.(a) Calculate the amount of energy arriving on the Earth in a single day.(b) To how many litres of heating oil (energy density: 37.3 x 106J/litre) is this equivalent?(c) The Earth reflects 30% of this energy: Determine the temperature on Earth’s surface.(d) What other factors should be considered to get an even more precise temperature estimate?
Your roommate is playing a video game from the latest Star Wars movie while you are studying physics. Distracted by the noise, you go to see what is on the screen. The game involves trying to fly a spacecraft through a crowded field of asteroids in the asteroid belt around the Sun. You say to him, “Do you know that the game you are playing is very unrealistic? The asteroid belt is not that crowded and you don’t have to maneuver through it like that!” Distracted by your statement, he accidentally allows his spacecraft to strike an asteroid, just missing the high score. He turns to you in disgust and says, “Yeah, prove it.” You say, “Okay, I’ve learned recently that the highest concentration of asteroids is in a doughnut-shapedregion between the Kirkwood gaps at radii of 2.06 AU and 3.27 AU from the Sun. There are an estimated 109 asteroids of radius 100 m or larger, like those in your video game, in this region . . .” Finish your argument with a calculation to show that the number of…
When Mars is 90 million km from Earth, a) How long would it take for a radio wave from a video camera mounted on the back of a Mars Rover to tell ground control on earth that the Rover is about to go over a cliff? b) How long would it take for a radio signal from Earth to reach the Rover saying "STOP". c) Why do our Mars Rovers have to be "intelligent" enough to figure out how to deal with obstacles themselves?
A 300-megawatt solar power plant requires approximately 950, 000m2 of land area in order to collect the required amount of energy from sunlight.a. If this land area is circular, what is its radius?b. If this land area is a 42◦ sector of a circle, what is its radius?
Suppose a star 1000 times brighter than our Sun (that is, emitting 1000 times the power) suddenly goes supernova. Using data from Table: (a) By what factor does its power output increase? (b) How many times brighter than our entire Milky Way galaxy is the supernova? (c) Based on your answers, discuss whether it should be possible to observe supernovas in distant galaxies. Note that there are on the order of 1011 observable galaxies, the average brightness of which is somewhat less than our own galaxy.

Imagine that a spacecraft has landed on Mercury and is transmitting radio signals to Earth at a wavelength of 10.000 cm. When Mercury is seen from Earth in the evening sky, at its greatest angular distance east of the Sun, it is moving toward Earth at its maximum possible relative speed of 47.9 km/s. To what wavelength must you tune your radio telescope to detect the signals? (Hint: Use the Doppler formula in Reasoning with Numbers 6-2.)
