As a rough approximation, the human body may be considered to be a cylinder of length L=2.0m and circumference C=0.8m. (To simpl

ify things, ignore the circular top and bottom of the cylinder, and just consider the cylindrical sides.) If the emissivity of skin is taken to be e=0.6, and the surface temperature is taken to be T=30∘C, how much thermal power P does the human body radiate?

Answer:

Thermal Power = 460W

Explanation:

From Stephan-Boltzmann Law Formula;

P = єσT⁴A

Where,

P = Radiation energy

σ = Stefan-Boltzmann Constant

T = absolute temperature in Kelvin

є = Emissivity of the material.

A=Area of the emitting body

Now, σ = 5.67 x 10^(-8)

є = 0.6

Temperature = 30°C and coverting to kelvin = 30 + 273 = 303K

Area ; since we are to consider the sides of the human body as 2m and 0.8m,thus area = 2 x 0.8 = 1.6

Thus thermal power = 0.6 x 5.67 x 10^(-8) x303⁴ x 1.6 = 458. 8W

Normally, we approximate to the nearest 10W. Thus, thermal power is approximately 460W

Andrews [41]

Answer: The principle of conservation of energy, angular speed and centripetal force

Explanation:

At point A, the car experienced maximum of potential energy

As it moves down the hill, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

The maximum kinetic energy of the car is needed for the attainment of enough centripetal force to help the car move through the loop without falling .

The human ear is sometimes called a Fourier analyzer. What does this mean and why is it an apt description? 1. Our ears can sort
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

1. Our ears can sort out the individual sine waves from a mixture of two or more sine waves, so we hear the pure tones that make up a complex tone.

Explanation:

A complex tone is a sound wave that consist of two or more forms of audible sound frequencies. Sound wave is a mechanical wave that is longitudinal, and could be represented by a sine wave because of it sinusoidal manner of propagation.

A Fourier analyzer can be used to differentiate individual sine waves from a combination of two or more of it; which is as the same function performed by human ear. To the human ear, a sound wave that consist of more than one sine wave will have perceptible harmonics which would be distorted and turn to a noise.

Thus, the human ear makes it possible to hear the pure tones that make up a complex tone.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: C) By collecting run off during the rainy season for future irrigation increases the agricultural production

Explanation:

Water harvesting is a process of collection of rain water by using special water storing systems. This water storage practice helps during the scarcity of water like in dry summer seasons and in conditions of drought. Such water can be treated with filters to make it potable for drinking. But generally the water is used for the purpose of irrigation in the agricultural field and household sanitary requirements.

On the basis of the above description, By collecting run off during the rainy season for future irrigation increases the agricultural production is the correct option.
