Astronomers using a 2.0-mm-diameter telescope observe a distant supernova−−an exploding star. The telescope's detector records 7.9 ×10-11 JJ of light energy during the first 10 s. It's known that this type of supernova has a visible-light power output of 6.0 ×1037 W for the first 10 s of the explosion.How distant is the supernova? Give your answer in light years, where one light year is the distance light travels in one year. The speed of light is 3.0 ×108 m/s
The potential energy of two atoms in a diatomic molecule can be approximated by the Lennard-
Jones potential U(r) = a/r¹² — b/r6, where r is the distance between the two atoms, and a and b
are positive constants.
a) Find the force F(r) on one of the atoms as a function of r.
b) Find the equilibrium distance between the two atoms. Is this equilibrium stable?
c) Suppose the distance between the two atoms is equal to the equilibrium distance found in part
b). What minimum energy must be added to the molecule to break the two atoms apart? (This
is called the dissociation energy of the molecule.)
Haliade-X 12 MW is one of the most powerful offshore wind turbines in the world and it will be installed in the New Jersey offshore area (Figure 1). Energy storage is a long-time problem for wind energy, because the period of wind power is not necessary at the peak of electricity demand. To match the power supply and demand, the generated energy has to be stored either in battery or other forms.
There is an idea to use the tower of the wind turbine as energy storage – sea water is pumped to the top of the tower when power generation is more than demand; and water is released to drive a generator at the base of the tower to supply energy when it is needed. Assume the turbine tower is 20 m below the sea bottom and the water depth is 30 m, and the tower is filled by sea water (density = 1030 kg/m3). Answer the questions below (make sure your answer is in both gauge pressure and absolute pressure form).
At the mean sea level, how much is the pressure between inside and outside the…
