Answer:

sulfur dioxide pollution

Explanation:

Sulfur dioxide is a colorless and extremely polluting gas, resulting from the burning of fossil fuels.

The impurities of fossil fuels allow this gas to be released into the atmosphere, whenever this type of fuel is burned. The activities that most promote the burning of fossil fuels are the burning of diesel oil in vehicles and the burning of coal and oil in power plants. With that, we can say that sulfur dioxide pollution is the main impact that power plants have.

When it reaches the atmosphere, sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen generating sulfur trioxide, which reacts with moisture in the air and forms sulfuric acid.

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.

As part of a safety investigation, two 1900 kg cars traveling at 20 m/s are crashed into different barriers. Part A Find the ave
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

-29.2\times 10^{3} N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of cars= m=1900 kg

Initial speed of car=u=20 m/s

Final speed of car=v=0

Time=\Delta t=1.3 s

We have to find the average force exerted on the car.

Average force=\frac{change\;in\;momentum}{\Delta t}

F_{avg}=\frac{mv-mu}{1.3}

F_{avg}=\frac{1900(0)-1900(20)}{1.3}

F_{avg}=\frac{-38000}{1.3}=-29.2\times 10^{3} N

Hence, the average force exerted on the car that hits a line of water barrels=-29.2\times 10^{3} N

A beam oflight is reflected off a mirror. If the angle of incidence is 30 degrees, according to the Law of Reflection the angle
zaharov [31]

Answer:

30°

Explanation:

According to the second law of reflection, it States that the angle of incidence i is equal to the angle of reflection r.

The angle of incidence is known to be the angle between the incident ray and the normal.

The Angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.

This normal ray is a ray that is perpendicular to the surface.

According to the question, if the beam of light is reflected off the surface and its angle of incidence is 30°, its angle of reflection will also be 30° i.e i=r = 30°
