The sun produces 3.9 x 10^33 ergs of radiant energy per second. how many ergs of radiant energy does the sun produce in 3.25 x 10^3 seconds?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.2675 x 10^37

Step-by-step explanation:

you would have to first multiply 3.9 x 3.25 =12.675. It is not in scientific notation so you would have to change the decimal 1.2675 x 10^37

The ergs of radiant energy produced is: [tex]1.3* 10^{37}[/tex]

The rate of energy is given as:

[tex]Rate = 3.9 * 10^{33}\[/tex] radiant energy per second

The time is given as:

[tex]Time = 3.25 * 10^3[/tex] seconds

The amount of radiant energy produced in this time is:

[tex]Energy = Rate * Time[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Energy = 3.9 * 10^{33} * 3.25 * 10^3[/tex]

Multiply

[tex]Energy = 12.675* 10^{36}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]Energy = 1.2675* 10^{37}[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]Energy = 1.3* 10^{37}[/tex]

Hence, the ergs of radiant energy produced is: [tex]1.3* 10^{37}[/tex]
