A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int

ensity of thermal radiation is greater than 0.60 W/m². Your body emits a good deal of thermal radiation; a typical human body has a surface area of 1.8 m², a surface temperature of 30°C, and an emissivity e = 0.97 at infrared wavelengths. As we've seen, the intensity of a source of radiation decreases with the distance from the source.
If you are outside on a cool, dark night, what is the maximum distance from which a python could detect your presence?

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

Derive the formula v= u+ at<br>please derive in detail ​
gogolik [260]

Lets do

We know

The rate of change of velocity is acceleration .

\\ \sf\longmapsto a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

\\ \sf\longmapsto dv=adt

Integrate both sides

\\ \sf\longmapsto \int dv=a\int dt

As acceleration is constant .Take it outside of integral .On velocity we can take limit u to v and time from 0 to t

\\ \sf\longmapsto {\displaystyle{\int}}^v_u dv=a{\displaystyle{\int}}^t_0 dt

Hence

\\ \sf\longmapsto v{\huge{|}}^v_u=at

\\ \sf\longmapsto v-u=at

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=u+at
