Answer:

5.93 m

Explanation:

The carbon rod has a radius of 2.1 mm; it can be converted to meter by

1 m = 1000 mm

1 m ÷1000 = 1 mm

2.1 mm = 2.1 × 1 mm = 2.1 ×1÷1000 m = 0.0021 m

using the formula for resistance of a wire

R = ρl÷A, where R is the resistance of the carbon rod in ohms, ρ is resistivity in ohms.m, l is the length of the rod and A is the cross sectional area in m².

A = π r²

Make l the subject of the formula by cross multiplying

RA = ρl

divide both side by ρ

RA÷ρ = ρl÷ρ

RA÷ρ = l

substitute the values in

13.7 × 0.0021 × 0.0021 × 3.142 ÷ 3.2 × 10^-5 = 5.93 m

A). No. Condensation happens when you take heat out of a gas.

b). No.  I'm not sure what transpiration is.

<u>c). Yes.</u> Evaporation happens when you add heat to a liquid.

d). No.  Sublimation sometimes happens when you add heat to a solid.

Which is most likely a covalent compound?<br><br> LiF<br> MgS<br> NH3<br> CaCl2
Artemon [7]

Answer:

NH₃

Explanation:

The compound that is covalent from the given choices is NH₃.

Covalent compounds are usually formed between two atoms with similar values of electronegativities such that the difference is very small or zero.

  • This bond type involves the sharing of electrons between two atoms with similar electronegativities.
  • Nitrogen and hydrogen forms stable configuration that are isoelectronic with noble gases by sharing their valence electrons.
  • The 3 hydrogen electrons are enough to make nitrogen isoelectronic with neon.
  • Also, the nitrogen with 3 lone pairs of electrons provides the bonding hydrogen with needed electrons to attain a structure similar to helium.

To understand the formula for power radiated in the form of electromagnetic energy by an object at nonzero temperature. every ob
lbvjy [14]

As per Stefan - Boltzmann law we know that

1. Power radiated in the form of electromagnetic energy by an object at nonzero temperature.

2. Every object at absolute (kelvin) temperature t will radiate electromagnetic waves.

3. This radiation is typically in the infrared for objects at room temperature, with some visible light emitted for objects heated above 1000 k.

4. The formula governing the rate of energy radiation from a surface is given by p=eσat^4,

where p is the thermal power (also known as the heat current h).

Thermal radiation in visible light can be seen on hot metalwork. Its emission in the infrared is invisible to the human eye. Infrared cameras are capable of capturing this infrared emission.

Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter. All matter with a temperature greater than absolute zero emits thermal radiation. Particle motion results in charge-acceleration or dipole oscillation which produce electromagnetic radiation.

Examples of thermal radiation include the visible light and infrared light emitted by an incandescent light bulb, the infrared radiation emitted by animals that is detectable with an infrared camera, and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Thermal radiation is different from thermal convection and thermal conduction—a person near a raging bonfire feels radiant heating from the fire, even if the surrounding air is very cold.

Sunlight is part of thermal radiation generated by the hot plasma of the Sun. The Earth also emits thermal radiation, but at a much lower intensity and different spectral distribution. The Earth's absorption of solar radiation, followed by its outgoing thermal radiation, are the two most important processes that determine the temperature and climate of the Earth in most climate models.

So the correct answer which is applicable here will be

This formula applies to any object of total surface area a, kelvin temperature t, and emissivity e

here

\sigma[\tex] = stefan boltzmann constant = [tex]5.67 * 10^{-8}
