Explanation:

We have,

Distance traveled in a circular track is 500 miles

The winning time was 3 hours and 13 minutes. It means time is 3.217 hours.

The driver's average speed is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Its formula can be written as :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500\ miles}{3.217\ h}\\\\v=155.42\ mph$

At the end of the race, the driver reaches the point form where he has started. It means the displacement of the driver is equal to 0. Hence, driver's average velocity is equal to 0.

A voltmeter was used to check the coolant and a reading of 0.2 volt with the engine off was measured. A reading of 0.8 volt was

Julli [10]

Answer:

C. Technician B

Explanation:

Excessive Galvanic activity:

To check for excessive galvanic activity, voltmeter is used to check the coolant. If the voltmeter is giving a reading greater than 0.5 V, there is excessive galvanic activity. Excessive galvanic activity is solved by flushing the coolant fluid from engine and refiling it.

Electrolysis problem:

When the system is not properly ground, the cooling system accepts stray current and the coolant becomes an electrolyte which might eat up the radiator. To test for excessive electrolysis, start the engine and turn on all electrical accessories, if the reading is more than 0.5 V, there is electrolysis problem. Ground wires and connections should be checked at this point to stop stray current.

In our case, the first reading is 0.2 V(engine turned off) which is normal and there is no excessive galvanic activity. This means that Technician A is not correct. The second reading is 0.8 V when the engine and all electrical accessories are turned on. This reading is greater than 0.5 V which means there is an electrolysis problem. This means that Technician B is correct and ground wires and connections should be inspected and repaired.

lora16 [44]

Mercury is very harmful to the average human being. the mercury can easily be released from the lamp if the lamp is knocked over and broken. mercury is also harmful if inhaled. sodium on the other hand is not harmful in any way.

why is a train more difficult to stop then a rolling ball even if they are traveling at the same speed? URGENT

Radiant heat makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat loss by radiation from 1.00 m^2 o

VARVARA [1.3K]

The rate of heat loss by radiation is equal to <u>-207.5kW</u>

Why?

To calculate the heat loss rate (or heat transfer rate) by radiation, from the given situation, we can use the following formula:

$HeatLossRate=E*S*A*((T_{cold})^{4} -(T_{hot})^{4} )$

Where,

E, is the emissivity of the body.

A, is the area of the body.

T, are the temperatures.

S, is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, which is equal to:

$5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2}*K^{-4} }$

Now, before substitute the given information, we must remember that the given formula works with absolute temperatures (Kelvin), so, we need to convert the given values of temperature from Celsius degrees to Kelvin.

We know that:

$K=Celsius+273.15$

So, converting we have:

$T_{1}=1110\°C+273.15=1383.15K\\\\T_{2}=36.2\°C+273.15=309.35K$

Therefore, substituting the given information and calculating, we have:

$HeatLossRate=E*S*A*((T_{cold})^{4} -(T_{hot})^{4} )$

$HeatLossRate=1*5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2}*K^{-4} }*1m^{2} *((309.35K)^{4} -(1383.15})^{4} )\\\\HeatLossRate=5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{K^{-4} }*(95697.42K^{4} -3.66x10^{12}K^{4})\\ \\HeatLossRate=5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{K^{-4} }*(-3.66x10^{12} K^{4})=-207522W=-207.5kW$

Hence, we have that the rate of heat loss is equal to -207.5kW.
