A) Show that, if the ratio of the blackbody fluxes from a star at two different frequencies is measured, then, in principle, the surface temperature of the star can be derived, even if the star's solid angle on the sky is unknown (e. g., if it is too distant to be spatially resolved, and its distance and surface area are both unknown) B) Explain why it will be hard, in practice, to derive the temperature measurement if both frequencies are on the Rayleigh-Jeans side of the blackbody curve, hv << kT.

C) For the case that both measurements are on the Wien tail of the blackbody curve, hv >> kT, derive a simple, approximate expression for the temperature as a function of the two frequencies and of the flux ratio at the two frequencies.

D) If, in addition to the flux ratio in (c), a parallax measurement and the total flux (integrated over all frequencies) at Earth are available, show that the star's radius can be derived.

Acar traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s passes a trooper hidden behind a billboard. one second after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets off in chase with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2. how long does it take the trooper to overtake the speeding car? solve this problem by a graphical method. on the same graph, plot position versus time for the car and the trooper.
