A distance-time graph indicates that an object travels 2 m in 2 s and then travels another 80 m during the next 40 s. What is th

The average speed of the object is given by the ratio between the total distance covered and the total time needed for the motion:
$v= \frac{S}{t}$

The total distance covered is:
$S=2m + 80 m = 82 m$
while the total time of the motion is
$t=2s+40 s=42 s$

Therefore, the average speed of the object is
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{82 m}{42 m}=1.95 m/s$

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The thermal power emitted by the body is $P_t = 286.8 \ Wm^{-2}$

The net power radiated is $P_{net} = 460 \ W$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the assumed hum $T_{room} = 20 ^oC$ an body is L = 2.0 m

The circumference of the assumed human body is $C = 0.8 \ m$

The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $\sigma = 5.67 * 10^{-8 } \ W\cdot m^{-2} \cdot K^{-4}.$

The temperature of skin $T_{body} = 30^oC$

The temperature of the room is

The emissivity is e=0.6

The thermal power radiated by the body is mathematically represented as

$P_t = e * \sigma * T_{body}^4$

substituting value

$P_t = 0.6 * 5.67*10^{-8} * (303)^4$

$P_t = 286.8 \ Wm^{-2}$

The net power radiated by the body is mathematically evaluated as

$P_{net} = P_t * A$

Where A is the surface area of the body which is mathematically evaluated as

$A = C* L$

substituting values

$A = 0.8 * 2$

$A = 1.6 m^2$

=> $P_{net} = 286.8 * 1.6$

=> $P_{net} = 460 \ W$

Lexy throws a dart with an initial velocity of 25m/a at an angle of 60 degrees relative to the ground. What is the approximate v

butalik [34]

Initial velocity = 25 m/s, angle 60°

sin (60°) = opposed leg / hypothenuse = Vertical velocity / Initial velocity

=> Vertical velocity = initial velocity * sin (60°) = 25 m / s * 0.866 = 21.65 m/s

What is the efficiency of an engine that exhausts 440 J of heat to a cold reservoir and receives 570 J of heat from a hot reserv

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Efficiency = 77%

Explanation:

Input energy = 570 J

Output energy = 440 J

To find the efficiency;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; energy}{In-put \; energy} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Efficiency = \frac {440}{570} * 100$

$Efficiency = 0.7719 * 100$

Efficiency = 77.19 ≈ 77%

Therefore, the efficiency of the engine is 77 percent.
