Planet and pluto-average surface temperature

Reference no: EM13657030

The planet, Pluto, receives about 0.266 W/m2 from the Sun, averaged over the whole surface and radiates an equal amount back into space (that is Pluto is in equilibrium). Assuming Pluto is a ideal emitter (e = 1.0) estimate its average surface temperature.

Approximation the uncertainty in the protons energy : The radius of a typical nucleus is about 5.0 x 10^-15 m. Assuming this to be the uncertainty in the position of a proton in the nucleus, approximation the uncertainty in the proton's energy (in eV).

Find the magnitude and direction of the owners velocity : A 26.2-kg dog is running northward at 2.21m/s, while a 5.30-kg cat is running eastward at 2.83 m/s. Their 67.2-kg owner has the similar momentum as the two pets taken together. Find the magnitude and direction of the owner's velocity.

Compute the wavelength of the light : A beam of monochromatic light is diffracted by a slit of width 0.630 mm. The diffraction pattern forms on a wall 1.70 m beyond the slit. The width of the central maximum is 2.10 mm. compute the wavelength of the light.
