- Dr. Chini's research group recently made an interesting discovery, while studying laser interactions with molecular gases. They found that nitrous oxide molecules (mass 44.013 g per mole) can reach temperatures exceeding 745 degrees Celsius after a interacting with a few closely-spaced (in time) laser pulses. At this temperature, what is the rms speed (in m/s) of a nitrous oxide molecule?arrow_forwardAs an amateur astronomer, you are studying the apparent brightness of stars. You know that a star’s apparent brightness depends on its distance from the earth and also on the fraction of its radiated energy that is in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. But, as a first step, you search the Internet for information on the surface temperatures and radii of some selected stars so that you can calculate their total radiated power. You find the data given in the table. The radius is given in units of the radius of the sun, Rsun = 6.96 * 108 m. The surface temperature is the effective temperature that gives the measured photon luminosity of the star if the star is assumed to radiate as an ideal blackbody. The photon luminosity is the power emitted in the form of photons. (a) Which star in the table has the greatest radiated power? (b) For which of these stars, if any, is the peak wavelength lm in the visible range (380–750 nm)? (c) The sun has a total radiated power of 3.85…arrow_forwardThere are lots of examples of ideal gases in the universe, and they exist in many different conditions.

Near the surface of Venus, its atmosphere has a pressure fv= 95 times the pressure of Earth's atmosphere, and a particle density of around ρv = 1.1 × 1027 m-3. What is the temperature of Venus' atmosphere (in C) near the surface? c. The Orion nebula is one of the brightest diffuse nebulae in the sky (look for it in the winter, just below the three bright stars in Orion's belt). It is a very complicated mess of gas, dust, young star systems, and brown dwarfs, but let's estimate its temperature if we assume it is a uniform ideal gas.

- My physics class has turned to online due to the COVID-19 and I am having trouble with some of the word problems my teacher gave me to work on. She presented me with: I am contemplating a career change. If I had 500g of stolen gold jewelry, how much energy would I have to add to it to melt it (so that it was not longer recognizable)? Pretend that it is pure gold. Would you be able to show me how to accomplish this problem so I can see the steps? Thank you for your time.
