Answer:
Length of Eiffel tower, when the temperature is 35 degrees = 300.21 m
Explanation:
Thermal expansion is given by the expression
Here length of Eiffel tower, L = 300 m
Coefficient of thermal expansion, α = 0.000012 per degree Celsius
Change in temperature, = 35 - (-24) = 59degrees Celsius
Substituting
Length of Eiffel tower, when the temperature is 35 degrees = 300 + 0.2124 = 300.21 m
<span>Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions.
1. slows down neutrons
moderator - This is the substance that slows down fast neutrons and makes them slow neutrons which are easier to capture by the atomic nuclei so that the fission reaction can continue.
2. absorb emitted neutrons
control rods - These are rods made up of a substance that easily absorbs neutrons. Their purpose is to slow down or shut down the reaction.
3. mass of unstable atoms
nuclear fuel - The entire point of a nuclear reactor is the capture the energy released by the fission of unstable atoms. So this mass of unstable atoms is the fuel for the nuclear reactor.
4. concrete and lead enclosure
shield - This is the enclosure that prevents radiation from escaping into the general environment.
5. energy transfer medium
coolant - Since the purpose of a nuclear reactor is to generate usable energy, the coolant extracts heat from the fissioning core and that heat is generally used to boil water which in turn is used to operate turbines that power electrical generators.</span>
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.
