Chapter 7: Q30 PE (page 261)

The Crab Nebula (see Figure 7.41) pulsar is the remnant of a supernova that occurred in A.D. 1054. Using data from Table 7.3, calculate the approximate factor by which the power output of this astronomical object has declined since its explosion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The factor by which the power output of the Crab Nebula has declined since its explosion is 10-10.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Concepts

Power: Power is a scalar quantity defined as how fast energy is being consumed or transformed. One watt of power is defined as one Joules of energy is being consumed per second.

02

Calculate the approximate factor by which output has deceased

The power output of the Crabs Nebula is,

PC=1028W

The power output of the Supernova explosion is,

PS=5脳1037W

The factor by which the power output has deceased is,

F=PCPS

Putting all known values,

F=1028W5脳1037W=2脳10-10

Therefore, the factor by which the power output of the Crab Nebula has declined since its explosion is 10-10.

Most popular questions from this chapter

(a) Calculate the force needed to bring a 950-kg car to rest from a speed of 90.0 km/h in a distance of 120 m (a fairly typical distance for a non-panic stop).

(b) Suppose instead the car hits a concrete abutment at full speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m. Calculate the force exerted on the car and compare it with the force found in part (a).

Does the work you do on a book when you lift it onto a shelf depend on the path taken? On the time taken? On the height of the shelf? On the mass of the book?

A person in good physical condition can put out 100 W of useful power for several hours at a stretch, perhaps by pedaling a mechanism that drives an electric generator. Neglecting any problems of generator efficiency and practical considerations such as resting time:

(a) How many people would it take to run a 4.00-kW electric clothes dryer?

(b) How many people would it take to replace a large electric power plant that generates 800 MW?

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow.

(a) Calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent鈥檚 face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s.

(b) Calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm.

(c) Discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. Does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?

Jogging on hard surfaces with insufficiently padded shoes produces large forces in the feet and legs.

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the force needed to stop the downward motion of a jogger鈥檚 leg, if his leg has a mass of 13.0 kg, a speed of 6.00 m/s, and stops in a distance of 1.50 cm. (Be certain to include the weight of the 75.0-kg jogger鈥檚 body.)

(b) Compare this force with the weight of the jogger.
