Star A has a radius of 200 000 km and a surface temperature of 6 000 K. Star B has a radius of 400 000 km and a surface temperature of 3 000 K. The emissivity of both stars is the same. What is the ratio of the rate of energy radiated by Star A to that of Star B?

Question 2

In braking an automobile, the friction between the brake drums and brake shoes converts the car's kinetic energy into heat. If a 1 500-kg automobile traveling at 30 m/s brakes to a halt, how much does the temperature rise in each of the four 8.0-kg brake drums? (The specific heat of each iron brake drum is 448 J/kg/C).
