'Newton' is [ kg·m/s² ].

So if you divide Newtons by [ m/s ], it goes something like this:

(kg·m/s²) / (m/s) =

(kg·m/s²) · (s/m) =

(kg·m·s / m·s²) =

kilogram / second .

This is an interesting exercise in manipulating units, but it doesn't seem to mean anything in the real world.

We performed one meaningless operation ... dividing force by speed ... and ended up with another quantity that has no physical significance ... kilogram per second.

A man walke towards the bus stop 100 meters away at a constant velocity. He reaches the bus stop in 200 seconds. Once at the bus

serg [7]

First:

d = 100 m
t = 200 sec

v = 100/200 = 0.5 m/s

Displacement is zero since he returned to his start point.

t2 = d/v2 = 100/2 = 50 sec

total time = 50 + 200 + 500 = 750 sec

How does water get up to the atmosphere, and how does it get back down to earth surface

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Water gets up to the Earth's atmosphere by evaporating from a body of water, which is then they become water vapor. It returns back to the surface by returning back to its water state and falling back down (as rain). The water vapor turns into clouds (clouds are really just water droplets), and when it cannot hold anymore waters, it disperses all the water (by raining).

At what net rate does heat radiate from a 300-m^2 black roof on a night when the roof's temperature is 33.0°C and the surroundin

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

24445.85 J/s

Explanation:

Area, A = 300 m^2

T = 33° C = 33 + 273 = 306 k

To = 18° C = 18 + 273 = 291 k

emissivity, e = 0.9

Use the Stefan's Boltzman law

$E = \sigma \times e \times A\times\left ( T^4 -T_{0}^{4}\right )$

Where, e be the energy radiated per unit time, σ be the Stefan's constant, e be the emissivity, T be the temperature of the body and To be the absolute temperature of surroundings.

The value of Stefan's constant, σ = 5.67 x 10^-8 W/m^2k^4

By substituting the values

$E = 5.64 \times 10^{-8}\times 0.9 \times 300 \times (306^{4}-291^{4})$

E = 24445.85 J/s
