1) Estimate the number of Solar neutrinos passing through a detector on the Earth in one second. Assume that the detector has a surface area of 1.0 square meters and is aligned so that it faces directly towards the centre of the Sun. Assume that every neutrino travels without any change (i.e. none are absorbed or converted to a different particle). Also assume that the energy carried out of the Sun by the neutrinos is negligible. Please show all your...

The total power produced by the sun is 4 x 10^26 W. Estimate the rate of solar neutrinos striking the earth, assuming that the sun’s power comes entirely from the p-p cycle.

The average neutrino traveling from the Sun to the Earth, a distance d = 1.5 x 10^8 km, has an energy of Ev = 0.4 MeV. (Billions of such neutrinos stream through every square centimeter on the face of the Earth every second.) Recent experimental evidence suggests these neutrinos have a mass mv = 10^-3 eV/(c^2). In this case, how long does the passage from Sun to Earth take in the (average) neutrino’s rest frame? How long does it take...

a). Every second the Sun loses energy due to its luminosity. Ignoring any new energy created through nuclear fusion, estimate how much the Sun's radius changes every second due to this energy loss. Does it get smaller or larger? b). Your answer in part b should predict that the sun's radius will reach 0 in about 10 million years. Is this prediction correct?

1) Assuming that 10 eV could be released by every atom in the Sun through chemical reactions, (a) estimate how long the Sun could shine at its current rate (L=3.84 × 1026 Watts) through chemical processes alone. For simplicity, assume that the Sun is composed entirely of hydrogen (The mass of the Sun is ~1.989 x 1030 kg) (b) How does this timescale compare to the lifetime of the Sun? What can you conclude from this comparison?

An automobile manufacturing plant produced 38 vehicles today: 15 were trucks, 10 were vans, and 13 were sedans. Plant managers are going to select two of these vehicles for a thorough inspection. The first vehicle will be selected at random, and then the second vehicle will be selected at random from the remaining vehicles. What is the probability that the first vehicle selected is a truck and the second vehicle is a sedan? Do not round your intermediate computations. Round...

A robot is given 1 random instruction every second for 10 seconds. Each instruction will be either a command to move 1 inch to the left, or 1 inch to the right. The likelihoods of the instruction being a command to move to the left and right are 'p' and '1-p', respectively. a) What is the expectation of the robot's final position with respect to its starting position. b) What is the variance we might expect for observations of the...
