<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign. Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

The robot HooRU is lost in space, floating around aimlessly, and radiates heat into the depths of the cosmos at the rate of 13.1

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The temperature is $T = 168.44 \ K$

Explanation:

From the question ewe are told that

The rate of heat transferred is $P = 13.1 \ W$

The surface area is $A = 1.55 \ m^2$

The emissivity of its surface is $e = 0.287$

Generally, the rate of heat transfer is mathematically represented as

$H = A e \sigma T^{4}$

=> $T = \sqrt[4]{\frac{P}{e* \sigma } }$

where $\sigma$ is the Boltzmann constant with value $\sigma = 5.67*10^{-8} \ W\cdot m^{-2} \cdot K^{-4}.$

substituting value

$T = \sqrt[4]{\frac{13.1}{ 0.287* 5.67 *10^{-8} } }$

$T = 168.44 \ K$

In a transformer, energy is carried from the primary coil to the secondary coil by:________

likoan [24]

In a transformer, energy is carried from the primary coil to the secondary coil by magnetic field in the iron core.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the transformer.

<h3>How transformer works?</h3>

An item utilized in the transfer of electric energy is a transformer.
AC current is used for transmission.
It is frequently used to modify the supply voltage between circuits without altering the AC frequency.
The fundamentals of mutual and electromagnetic induction govern how the transformer operates.
Magnetic field through the primary coil changes when primary coil current varies. the iron core of the secondary coil likewise has a magnetic field.
EMF is therefore generated in the secondary coil.

Thus, we can conclude that, in a transformer, energy is carried from the primary coil to the secondary coil by magnetic field in the iron core.

Compare the maximum rate of heat transfer to the basal metabolic rate by converting a bmr of 88 kcal/hr into watts. what is the

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation :

It is given that,

BMR i.e basal metabolic rate is 88 kcal/hr. So, BMR in watts is converted by the following :

We know that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules

So, $1\ kcal/h=\dfrac{1\times 4184\ J}{3600\ sec}$

$1\ kcal/h=1.16\ J/sec$

J/sec is nothing but watts.

So, $1\ kcal/h=1.16\ watts$

and $88\ kcal/h=88\times 1.16\ watts = 102.08\ watts$

So, it can be seen that the body can accommodate a modes amount of activity in hot weather but strenuous activity would increase the metabolic rate above the body's ability to remove heat.
