I converted my answer for pressure. I apologize, I simply forgot to do that before. I got that the pressure for each, assuming each follows the ideal gas law, would be about ## 1.38 \times 10^{-14} Pa ##, which is right around the vacuum pressure out in space. For part (b), I made the assumption...

Homework Statement Answer the following questions. Pleas show all of your work and your line of thinking and state your assumptions. There are several phases of the ISM. Consider the following three phases with different typical number densities ## n ## and temperatures ## T ##. The cold...

Homework Statement Consider a bead of mass m on a loop of radius R. The loop is rotating at a constant rate ω. Using a non-inertial frames of reference, find all equilibrium points of the bead on the loop. Homework Equations \vec{F_e}=m\vec{a_r}...

Homework Statement The intensity of sunlight reaching the Earth is 1360 \frac{W}{m^2}. a.) Assuming all sunlight is absorbed, what is the radiation pressure force on the earth? Give your answer in Newtons. F_r= b.) Give your answer as a fraction of the suns gravitational force on the earth...

That's something along the lines of what I thought of doing. I read up on the subject, and "uniform expansion" only means "without secular terms", so the approximation of my system won't blow up as t→∞. I'm just going to do the Taylor series DE thing. Thanks for your input, guys. It's greatly...

Homework Statement Given the equation \ddot{\theta}=\Omega^2\sin{\theta}\cos{\theta}-\frac{g}{R}\sin{\theta} Determine a first-order uniform expansion for small but finite theta. Homework Equations Other than the equation above, none so far as I am aware. The Attempt at a...
