The laws of thermal radiation tell us that a star emits light with a total power per unit area that depends only on the star's surface temperature. the formula is power per unit area=σt4 where σ is a constant with a measured value of σ=5.7×10−8wm2×k4 (as usual, m stands for meters and k stands for kelvins.) you can then find the total power (or luminosity) emitted by the star by multiplying its total surface area by the power per unit area. use these facts to calculate the total power emitted into space by a star with a radius of 8.0×108m and a surface temperature of 6500 k. you will need the formula for the surface area of a sphere, which is surface area (sphere)=4πr2

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix. b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds. c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer. d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.
