A person is standing outdoors in the shade where the temperature is 17 °C. (a) What is the radiant energy absorbed per second by

his head when it is covered with hair? The surface area of the hair (assumed to be flat) is 140 cm2 and its emissivity is 0.87. (b) What would be the radiant energy absorbed per second by the same person if he were bald and the emissivity of his head were 0.68?

Answer:

a) 4.9W b) 3.82W

Explanation:

Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation formulae:

Q/t (W) = sigma* e*A*T^4

Sigma = 5.67*10^-8 j/sm^2K^4 (Stefano Boltzmann constant)

e = emissivity

T = absolute temperature in kelvin and A = area in m^2

a) Q/t = 140/10000(m^2) * 0.87* 5.67* 10^-8* (290^4) = 4.9W

b) without hair the

Q/t = 140/ 10000(m^2) *0.68* 5.67* 10^-8* (290^4)

= 3.82W

alexandr402 [8]

Answer: False.

Explanation: The Earth rotates once per day in direction from East to West. The rotation of the Earth daily is responsible for day and night experienced, the areas of the Earth facing the Sun experiences day time while the areas of the Earth away from the Sun in the Earth's shadow experiences night time.

While the revolution of the Earth around the gives rise to a year, as it takes 365 days for the Earth to go round the sun.

What is kirchoff s law???
kolbaska11 [484]
There are two laws named for Kirchhoff.  The both concern electrical circuits.
Here they are in my own words:

1).  The sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

2).  The sum of the currents at any single point in a circuit is zero.
