The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

Radiant heat makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat loss by radiation from 1.00 m^2 o
VARVARA [1.3K]

The rate of heat loss by radiation is equal to <u>-207.5kW</u>

Why?

To calculate the heat loss rate (or heat transfer rate) by radiation, from the given situation, we can use the following formula:

HeatLossRate=E*S*A*((T_{cold})^{4} -(T_{hot})^{4} )

Where,

E, is the emissivity of the body.

A, is the area of the body.

T, are the temperatures.

S, is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, which is equal to:

5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2}*K^{-4} }

Now, before substitute the given information, we must remember that the given formula works with absolute temperatures (Kelvin), so,  we need to convert the given values of temperature from Celsius degrees to Kelvin.

We know that:

K=Celsius+273.15

So, converting we have:

T_{1}=1110\°C+273.15=1383.15K\\\\T_{2}=36.2\°C+273.15=309.35K

Therefore, substituting the given information and calculating, we have:

HeatLossRate=E*S*A*((T_{cold})^{4} -(T_{hot})^{4} )

HeatLossRate=1*5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2}*K^{-4} }*1m^{2} *((309.35K)^{4} -(1383.15})^{4} )\\\\HeatLossRate=5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{K^{-4} }*(95697.42K^{4} -3.66x10^{12}K^{4})\\ \\HeatLossRate=5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{K^{-4} }*(-3.66x10^{12} K^{4})=-207522W=-207.5kW

Hence, we have that the rate of heat loss is equal to -207.5kW.

A sportscar has a mass of 1500 kg and accelerates at 5 meters per second squared. What is the magnitude of the force acting on t
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

7500 Newtons

Explanation:

Mass of the sportscar= 1500 kg

Acceleration of the sportscar= 5m/s^2

Hence, let the Force acting on it be F

We\ know\ that,\\Force=Mass*Acceleration\\F=ma\\\\Here,\\F=1500*5\\=7500 kg m/s^2\ or\ 7500\ Newtons
