- Professor Edward Ney was the founder of infrared astronomy at the University of Minnesota. In his later years, he wore an artificial pacemaker. Always an experimentalist, Ney often held a strong laboratory magnet near his chest to see what effect it had on his pacemaker. Perhaps he was using the magnet to throw switches that control different modes of operation. An admiring student (without an artificial pacemaker) thought it would be fun to imitate this great man by holding a strong magnet to his own chest. The natural pacemaker of the heart (known as the sinoatrial node) carries a current of about 0.5 mA. Estimate the magnetic force exerted on a natural pacemaker by a strong magnet held to the chest. How do you think the student might have felt during the experiment? Explain your geometric assumptions. Hints: See Table 30.1 (page 941) to estimate the magnetic field, and assume the field is roughly uniform. Use Figure P30.58 to estimate the size of the sinoatrial node; your heart is about the size of your fist. FIGURE P30.58arrow_forwardA possible means of space flight is to place a perfectly reflecting aluminized sheet into orbit around the Earth and then use the light from the Sun to push this solar sail. Suppose a sail of area A = 6.00 105 m2 and mass m =6.00 103 kg is placed in orbit facing the Sun. Ignore all gravitational effects and assume a solar intensity of 1 370 W/m2. (a) What force is exerted on the sail? (b) What is the sails acceleration? (c) Assuming the acceleration calculated in part (b) remains constant, find the time interval required for the sail to reach the moon, 3.84 108 m away, starting from rest at the Earth.arrow_forwardThe spectrum of a glowing filament has its peak at a wavelength of 1200 nm.

- The temperature of a student’s skin is 33.0°C. At what wavelength does the radiation emitted from the skin reach its peak?arrow_forwardAmax (cm) 0.030- 0.025- 0.020- 0.015 0.010- 0.005- 0 0 50 100 150 T (K) 200 250 300 Question 2: All objects emit electromagnetic radiation whose intensity for the different wavelengths depends on the temperature of the object. Physicists and astronomers often use measurements of this electromagnetic radiation to determine the temperature of an object. The wavelength Amax at which the intensity of this "thermal radiation" is greatest is inversely proportional to the temperature i.e. given by an equation Amax = C/T, for some constant C. The precise relationship is plotted in the graph above. In 1965, microwave radiation peaking at Amax= 0.107cm was discovered coming in all directions from space. To which temperature does this correspond? This is the ambient temperature of the universe, i.e., the temperature that an object in outer space far from any stars will have once it comes to equilibrium. Where did this radiation come from (Google "cosmic microwave background")?arrow_forwardThe power radiated by the sun is 3.9 x 1026 W. The earth orbits the sun in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.5 x 1011 m. The earth's axis of rotation is tilted by 23.4° relative to the plane of the orbit (see the drawing), so sunlight does not strike the equator perpendicularly. What power strikes a 0.30-m² patch of flat land at the equator at point Q? Number Units Sunlight Axis of rotation Equator 23.4arrow_forward
