Answer:

Due to conservation of momentum

Explanation:

We know that if there is no any force acting on the system then  the total linear momentum of system will remain conserve.We know that linear momentum given as

P = m x v

When person steps forward then velocity of person changes it means that the linear momentum also changes to balance this change in linear momentum the boat will move away from the bank. Because the linear momentum should be conserve.

What are the characteristics of a blackbody radiator? Give an example.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

A blackbody, or Planckian radiator, is a cavity within a heated material from which heat cannot escape. No matter what the material, the walls of the cavity exhibit a characteristic spectral emission, which is a function of its temperature.

Example:

Emission from a blackbody is temperature dependent and at high temperature, a blackbody will emit a spectrum of photon energies that span the visible range, and therefore it will appear white. The Sun is an example of a high-temperature blackbody.

Water is contained in a closed, rigid 0.2 m 3 tank at an initial pressure of 5 bar and a quality of 50%. Heat transfer occurs un
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Final mass=0.89kg

Final pressure=5.6bar

Explanation:

To find mass,m=v/v1

But v1=vf + x(vg-vf)

Vf= 0.001093m^3/kg

Vg= 0.3748m^3/kg

V1= 0.001093+0.5(0.3748-0.001093)

V1= 0.225m^3/kg

M= 0.20/0.225 =0.89kg

Final pressure will be:

V/V1= P/P1

Cross multiply

VP1=V1P

P1= 0.225×5/0.2

P1=:5.6 bar
