Suppose a star 1000 times brighter than our Sun (that is, emitting 1000 times the power) suddenly goes supernova. Using data from Table 7.3: (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.

- Hello, I don't know how my lab group got the answers to h so can you please do the calculations for h to get those answers Here is the formula h = 1/2(9.8)t^2arrow_forwardA star is formed when the gravitational attraction overcomes the pressure due to the gases inside.Thus we can write(in-picture) .... Assuming the ideal gas equation, we can write P = nkT, where n is the number of atoms/volume. Let M and m denote the total mass and the mass of each gas atom. Using the above equation, show that the condition for star formation is that the mass of the star obeys M > MJ, where : (in-picture)arrow_forwardProblem 2: Black hole – the ultimate blackbody A black hole emits blackbody radiation called Hawking radiation. A black hole with mass M has a total energy of Mc², a surface area of 167G²M² /c*, and a temperature of hc³/167²KGM. a) Estimate the typical wavelength of the Hawking radiation emitted by a 1 solar mass black hole (2 × 103ºkg). Compare your answer to the size of the black hole. b) Calculate the total power radiated by a one-solar mass black hole. c) Imagine a black hole in empty space, where it emits radiation but absorbs nothing. As it loses energy, its mass must decrease; one could say "evaporates". Derive a differential equation for the mass as a function of time, and solve to obtain an expression for the lifetime of a black hole in terms of its mass.arrow_forward

(c = 3.0 × 108 m/s, Wien displacement law constant is 2.9 × 10-3 m ∙ K, σ = 5.67 × 10-8 W/m2 ∙ K4). Please give your answer with one decimal place.arrow_forward
- suppose you collected a data set in which you measured fall-times for different fall-heights, you plotted the data and fit the mathemathical model, y=Ax^2, to match the physical hypothesis, y=0.5*g*t^2. From the best fit curve you are told that the value of your fit-parameter, A, is for 4.6 m/s^2 +/- 0.4 m/s^2. Determine the value of g +/- delta g for this fit parameter value.arrow_forwardModels of the first star-forming clouds indicate that they had a temperature of roughly 150 K and a particle density of roughly 400,000 particles per cubic centimeter at the time they started trapping their internal thermal energy. ▼ Part A Estimate the mass at which thermal pressure balances gravity for these values of pressure and temperature.

Suppose the mass of all the atoms in a speck of carbon dust were converted entirely to energy and applied to the kinetic energy of a baseball. How fast would the baseball be moving? (Mass of baseball = 0.145 kg. ) (1 gram = 1 x 103kg) (KE = ½ mv2) (1 billion = 1 x 109)arrow_forward
