How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 2 kg of copper from 20º to 30ºC. The specific heat of copper is 390 J/kgºC.

Physics

Answer:

7800 J

Explanation:

Heat needed = mass of copper x specific heat of copper x change in temperature  

Change in temperature = 30ºC - 20ºC = 10ºC

Specific heat of copper = 390 J/kgºC

Mass of copper = 2 Kg

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get –  

Heat needed = 2 Kg x 390 J/kgºC x 10ºC

= 7800 J

Suppose your surface body temperature averaged 90 degrees F. How much radiant energy in W/m^2 would be emitted from your body?
Debora [2.8K]

493 \; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the energy radiation <em>per unit area</em> of a black body:

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4}

where,

  • P the total power emitted,
  • A the surface area of the body,
  • \sigma the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant, and
  • T the temperature of the body in degrees Kelvins.

\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \;\text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} \cdot \text{K}^{-4}.

T = 90 \; \textdegree{}\text{F} = (\dfrac{5}{9} \cdot (90-32) + 273.15) \; \text{K} = 305.372 \; \text{K}.

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4} = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 305.372^{4} = 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

Keep as many significant figures in T as possible. The error will be large when T is raised to the power of four. Also, the real value will be much smaller than 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} since the emittance of a human body is much smaller than assumed.

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

Explanation:

When a particle with charge q travels across a potential difference \Delta V, then its change in electric potential energy is

\Delta U = q \Delta V

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

V_+=0V

While the negative terminal is at potential

V_-=-12 V

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

How are electrical signals transmitted over long distances?
forsale [732]

Answer:

Over such small distances, digital data may be transmitted as direct, two-level electrical signals over simple copper conductors. This results from the electrical distortion of signals traveling through long conductors, and from noise added to the signal as it propagates through a transmission medium.
