How can a gas become a good conductor? Simpler answers would be helpful.

1 answer:

7 0

A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.

A body which has surface area 5cm² and temperature of 727°C radiates 300J of energy in one minute. Calculate it's emissivity giv

cestrela7 [59]

<h2>Answer: 0.17</h2>

Explanation:

The Stefan-Boltzmann law establishes that a black body (an ideal body that absorbs or emits all the radiation that incides on it) "emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power proportional to the fourth power of its temperature":

$P=\sigma A T^{4}$ (1)

Where:

$P=300J/min=5J/s=5W$ is the energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second, per unit area (in Watts). Knowing $1W=\frac{1Joule}{second}=1\frac{J}{s}$

$\sigma=5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}}$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann's constant.

$A=5cm^{2}=0.0005m^{2}$ is the Surface area of the body

$T=727\°C=1000.15K$ is the effective temperature of the body (its surface absolute temperature) in Kelvin.

However, there is no ideal black body (ideal radiator) although the radiation of stars like our Sun is quite close. So, in the case of this body, we will use the Stefan-Boltzmann law for real radiator bodies:

$P=\sigma A \epsilon T^{4}$ (2)

Where $\epsilon$ is the body's emissivity

(the value we want to find)

Isolating $\epsilon$ from (2):

$\epsilon=\frac{P}{\sigma A T^{4}}$ (3)

Solving:

$\epsilon=\frac{5W}{(5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}})(0.0005m^{2})(1000.15K)^{4}}$ (4)

Finally:

$\epsilon=0.17$ (5) This is the body's emissivity

The angle of incidence of a light beam in air onto a reflecting surface is continuously variable. The reflected ray is found to

Mariana [72]

Answer:

n = 2.0686

Explanation:

When an unpolarized ray of light is reflected on a surface, the reflected ray is partially polarized, complete polarization occurs when it is true that between the transmitted and reflected ray one has 90, the relationship is

n = so tea

let's calculate

n = tan 64.2

n = 2.0686

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Neptune is approximately 41 times as far from the sun as Venus

Explanation:

Estimate = distance of Neptune from the sun ÷ distance of Venus from the sun = 4.5×10^9 ÷ 1.18×10^8 = 40.9 (approximately 41)

A ball is kicked from level ground at an angle 60° with initial velocity 10 m/s. The distance the ball travels, in meters, is:

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<em>the ball travels a distance of 8.84 m</em>

Explanation:

Range: Range is defined as the horizontal distance from the point of projection to the point where the projectile hits the projection plane again.

R = (U²sin2∅)/g.............................. Equation 1

Where R = range, U = initial velocity, ∅ = angle of projection, g = acceleration due to gravity.

<em>Given: U = 10 m/s, ∅ = 60°</em>

<em>Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

R = [10²×sin(2×60)]/9.8

R = (100sin120)/9.8

R = 100×0.8660/9.8

R = 86.60/9.8

R = 8.84 m

<em>Therefore the ball travels a distance of 8.84 m</em>
