If you calculate the thermal power radiated by typical objects at room temperature, you will find surprisingly large values, sev

eral kilowatts typically. For example, a square box that is 1 m on each side and painted black (therefore justifying an emissivity e near unity) emits 2.5 kW at a temperature of 20∘C. In reality the net thermal power emitted by such a box must be much smaller than this, or else the box would cool off quite quickly. Which of the following alternatives seems to explain this conundrum best?A. The box is black only in the visible spectrum; in the infrared (where it radiates) it is quite shiny and radiates little power.
B. The surrounding room is near the temperature of the box and radiates about 2.5 kW of thermal energy into the box.
C. Both of the first two factors contribute significantly.
D. Neither of the first two factors is the explanation.

Answer:

best explanation of this is sentence B

Explanation:

The radiation emission of the bodies is given by the expression

     P = σ A e T⁴

Where P is the power emitted in watts, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, A is the surface area of ​​the body, e is the emissivity for black body e = 1 and T is the absolute body temperature in degrees Kelvin.

When the values ​​are substituted the power is quite high 2.5 KW, but the medium surrounding the box also emits radiation

   T box ≈ T room

    P box ≈ P room

As the two powers are similar and the box can absorbed, since it has the ability to emit and absorb radiation, as the medium is also close of the temperature of the box, the amount emitted is very similar to that absorbed, so the net change in energy is very small.

   In the case that the box is much hotter or colder than the surrounding medium if there is a significant net transfer.

Consequently, the best explanation of this is sentence B

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Define unit vectors along the x and y axes as respectively \hat{i} \, and \, \hat{j}.

Then the three successive displacements, written in component form, are respectively
\vec{dN} = 1.0 \, \hat{j} \\
\vec{dW} = -0.6 \, \hat{i} \\  \vec{dS} = -0.2 \, \hat{j}

The total displacement for the first leg of the trip is
\vec{d} = \vec{dN} + \vec{dW} + \vec{dS} \\ \vec{d}= 1.0\hat{j}-0.6\hat{i}-0.2\hat{j} \\ \vec{d}=-0.6\hat{i}+0.8\hat{j}

Answer:
\vec{d} = -0.6\hat{i}+0.8\hat{j}   or  (-0.6, 0.8)

A rod 150 cm long and of diameter 2.0 cm is subjected to an axial pull of 20 kn. if the modulus of elasticity of the material of
Scilla [17]
Given:
rod of circular cross section is subjected to uniaxial tension.
Length, L=1500 mm
radius, r = 10 mm
E=2*10^5 N/mm^2
Force, F=20 kN = 20,000 N
[note: newton (unit) in abbreviation is written in upper case, as in  N ]

From given above, area of cross section = π r^2 = 100 π =314 mm^2
(i) Stress,
σ
=force/area
= 20000 N / 314 mm^2
= 6366.2 N/mm^2
= 6370 N/mm^2 (to 3 significant figures)

(ii) Strain
ε
= ratio of extension / original length
= σ / E
= 6366.2 /(2*10^5)
= 0.03183 
= 0.0318 (to three significant figures)

(iii) elongation
= ε * L
= 0.03183*1500 mm
= 47.746 mm
= 47.7 mm  (to three significant figures)

In Paul Hewitt's book, he poses this question: "If the forces that act on a bullet and the recoiling gun from which it is fired
Sauron [17]
They have different accelerations because of their masses. According to Newton's Second Law, an objects acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore the object with the larger mass, in this case the gun, will have a smaller acceleration. In the same way, the less massive object, being the bullet, will have a higher acceleration.

Hope this helps :)

The formation of magma within Earth is NOT caused by which of the following processes? A. decompression (drop in pressure) B. ad
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D. loss of volatiles to the atmosphere

Explanation:

The name magma designates matter in a semi-fluid state - resulting from the fusion of silicates containing dispersed solid gases and minerals and other compounds that make up the rocks, at temperatures between 700 and 1200 ° C - that forms the region beneath the crust. land. When it is inside the earth it is specifically named magma and lava when it is ejected to the surface

There are three systems by which magma can be produced on earth:

<u> Temperature</u> rise by concentration of r<u>adioactive elements or by friction of lithospheric plates</u>.

<u> Pressure decrease,</u> since the melting point decreases.

Adding <u>water</u> A rock begins to melt earlier if it contains water because the –OH groups effectively break the Si-O bonds.

A rock is formed by a set of minerals, each of which has a characteristic melting point so a rock does not have a single melting point but a temperature range in which the rock melts into parts, leaving others solid parts. Between the point at which a solid rock begins to melt and the melting end (liquid point) the rock is partially molten.

The rise of magmas depends on their physical-chemical conditions (viscosity, density, volatile element content), on the tectonic peculiarities of the region where they are found and on the rocks to be traversed. Acid magmas are light and viscous, rise easily and cause large deposits. The basic magmas, of greater density, are less viscous and ascend with greater difficulty than the previous ones.
