A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int

ensity of thermal radiation is greater than 0.60 W/m2 . Your body emits a good deal of thermal radiation. Assume that your body has a surface area of 1.6 m2 , a surface temperature of 30°C, and an emissivity e = 0.97 at infrared wavelengths. As we’ve seen, the intensity of a source of radiation decreases with the distance from the source. If you are outside on a cool, dark night, what is the maximum distance from which a python could detect your presence?

Answer:

 R = 9.92 m

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the Stefa radiation equation

      P = σ A e T⁴

Where the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is worth 5,670 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴, A is the area of ​​the body and the emissivity and T is the absolute temperature

Let's calculate irradiated

     P = 5,670 10⁻⁸ 1.6 0.97 (273 +30) 4

     P = 7.417 10² W

The emitted power is distributed on a spherical surface as it progresses, whereby the intensity detected by the python I = 0.6 W / m2

        P = I A

The area of ​​the sphere is

        A = 4π R²

       

        P = I 4π R²

        R² = P / 4π I

        R = √ [7.417 102 / (4π 0.6)]

        R = √ 98.37

        R = 9.92 m

Why is the mechanical advantage of a bottle opener always greater than 1?
Katen [24]
For a lever, the mechanical advantage is the ratio of the lever arms. Since the lever arm of the opener is always greater than that of the output arm, the mechanical advantage is greater than 1.

Can anyone define thermostat and list electrical appliances that have a thermostat?
Tresset [83]
A thermostat is a switch that operates itself when the temperature
goes above or below a temperature that the user can set.

-- Before you go to bed, you set the thermostat for 65° .
If the temperature in the house goes below 65° during the night,
the thermostat turns on the furnace, and keeps it running until
the house warms up to 65°.  Then it shuts the furnace off.

-- After breakfast, you set the thermostat for 75°.
If the temperature in the house goes above 75°, during the day, 
the thermostat turns on the air conditioner, and keeps it running until
the house cools down to 75°.  Then it shuts the air conditioner off.  

-- On Sunday morning, you put the slow cooker on the kitchen counter,
and you throw in a big roast, a sliced onion, some baby carrots, some
sliced potatoes, some vegetable stock, salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder,
and tomato paste.  Then you put the cover on, turn the power on, and
set the slow cooker to "LOW".  The heater in the slow cooker turns on.
  Whenever the temperature in the crock gets higher than 160°, the
thermostat in the slow cooker turns off the heater, and keeps it off
until the crock cools down to 160°.  Then the thermostat turns the
heater on again.
  By dinner time, you have a hot, juicy, scrumptious pot roast, ready
to eat.  It's not too hot, not too cold, not too tough, not dried out, and
it melts in your mouth.
You're still thinking about it when you go to bed, and your mom gives you
a slice to take to school for your lunch on Monday.

Please help! A net force of 2.0 N acts on a 2.0-kg object for 10 seconds. What is the object’s kinetic energy after that 10 seco
padilas [110]
For Newton's second law, the force F applied to the object of mass m will cause an acceleration a of the body:
F=ma
So, the acceleration is 
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{2.0 N}{2.0 kg}=1 m/s^2

The object undergoes through this acceleration for 10 seconds, t=10 s. Since it is an accelerated motion, we can find its final velocity after 10 seconds:
v_f = v_i + at=0 m/s+(1m/s^2)(10 s)=10 m/s
where v_i is the initial velocity of the object, which is zero since it starts from rest.

Finally we can calculate the final kinetic energy of the object, which is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(2.0 kg)(10 m/s)^2=100 J

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Momentum, p = 7.2 g-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

The momentum of an object is p=7.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg-m/s

We need to express momentum in any equivalent units. There can be many solutions of this problem. Some of the units of mass are gram, milligram etc. units of length are meters, mm etc.

Since, 1 kg = 1000 gram

So, p=7.2\times 10^{-3}\times 10^3\ g-m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the object is 7.2 g-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
