You are on a cruise ship traveling north at a speed of 13 m/s with respect to land. 1) if you walk north toward the front of the

ship, with a speed of 2.8 with respect to the ship, what is your velocity with respect to the land

In order to find the our own velocity with respect to land,we need to apply the theory of relative velocity.


Now consider the velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land as A.Consider our own velocity headed northwards as B.

The relative velocity is the velocity that the body A would appear to an observer on the body B and vice versa.


In this case the relative velocity would be arrived by summing up our velocity with the velocity of the ship as the object (I) is travelling in the ship.


Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.


Velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land(A)= 13.0m/s. (Given)

Our own velocity headed northwards(B)= 2.8 m/s.



Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.


Relative velocity= 13.0 + 2.8 = 15.8m/s.


Thus our own velocity with respect to the land is 15.8 m/s.

Radiation makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat transfer by radiation, in kW, from 1
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1.5 x 10⁵ W

Explanation:

A = Area of the fresh lava = 1.02 m²

T = Temperature of fresh lava = 1000 °C = 1000 + 273 = 1273 K

T₀ = Temperature of surrounding = 25.3 °C = 25.3 + 273 = 298.3 K

ε = emissivity of the lava = 0.97

σ = stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻²K⁻⁴

Rate of  transfer is given as

E = σ ε A (T⁴ - T₀⁴)

E = (5.67 x 10⁻⁸) (0.97) (1.02) ((1273)⁴ - (298.3)⁴)

E = 1.5 x 10⁵ W

How did Micheal Faraday discover the magnetic theory and when?​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Faraday made his first discovery of electromagnetism in 1821.  He took the work of Oersted and Ampère on the magnetic properties of electrical currents as a starting point and in 1831 achieved an electrical current from a changing magnetic field, a phenomenon known as electromagnetic induction.
