You leave a black, spherical bowling ball out in the hot sun and it warms to a scalding hot temperature of 80ºC. The ball has a radius of 0.25 m (25 cm). What is the total power being radiated outward from this hot ball at this temperature?
Ans: Radiative power of the black spherical body , P = A x sigma x T^4 x epsilon
epsilon - emissivity of black body = 1
sigma - stefan boltzman constant = 5.67 x 10^-8 Wm^-2 K^-4
T - temperatureof the body = 80 degree C = 353.15 K
radius of the black body = 0.25 m
Surface area = 4 x pi x r^2 = 4 x 3.14 x 0.25^2 = 0.785 m^2
P = A x sigma x T^4 x epsilon
= 0.785 x 5.67 x 10^-8 x 353.15^4
= 692.3 W (Ans)

In Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon, scientists are launched from the surface of Earth by a cannon
With what speed would their capsule have to leave the cannon if the speed of the capsule is required to be zero m/s at the point between Earth and the Moon where their gravitational pulls on the capsule are equal? The mass of Earth is 5.97 × 1024 kg, the mass of the Moon is 7.35 × 1022 kg, the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.84 × 108 m, the radius of Earth is 6.37 × 106 m, and G = 6.67 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2. A) 11,100 m/s B) 11,200 m/s C) 10,400 m/s D) 15,700 m/s E) 15,800 m/s
You are packing for a trip to another star, and on your journey you will be traveling at a speed of 0.99c. Can you sleep in a smaller cabin than usual, because you will be shorter when you lie down? Explain your answer
1.No; from your perspective you’re at rest with respect to the cabin, so you will measure yourself as having your normal length, and will require a normal-sized cabin. 2.Yes, if your bed is oriented along the direction of motion, because length contraction only takes place along this direction.
