Due to radiation and absorption, what is the maximum flame temperature in a fire?
ludmilkaskok [199]

The maximum flame temperature in a fire is 1500-1600K due to radiation and absorption.

<h3>What do you mean by radiation and absorption?</h3>

In physics, matter (usually electrons bound in atoms) absorbs electromagnetic radiation in order to convert the energy of a photon into the internal energy of the absorber (for example, thermal energy). Attenuation, or the steady decrease in light wave intensity as it travels through a medium, is a prominent effect. In some circumstances (optics), the medium's transparency changes by a factor that varies as a function of wave intensity, leading to saturable absorption (or nonlinear absorption), even though the absorption of waves typically does not depend on their intensity (linear absorption).

Before 1960, people believed that the maximum attainable coefficient of static friction for an automobile tire on a roadway was
True [87]

This problem is looking for the minimum value of μs that is necessary to achieve the record time. To solve this problem:


Assuming the front wheels are off the ground for the entire ¼ mile = 402.3 m, the acceleration a = µs·9.8 m/s².


For a constant acceleration, distance = 402.3


m = 1/2at^2 = 804.6 m / (4.43 s)^2 = a = µs·9.8 m/s^2



µs = 804.6 m / (4.43s)^2 / 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.18

2 objects have a total momentum of 400kg m/s, they collide. Object A’s mass is5kg &amp; object B’s mass is 11kg. After the colli
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision .

Momentum before collision = 400 kg m/s

Momentum after collision = 5  x v + 11 x 15

where v is velocity of A after the collision .

5  x v + 11 x 15 = 400

5 v = 400 - 165

5v = 235

v = 47 m /s .
