From the word compound, the compound machine is already a combination of two or more types of simple machine. Thus, the answer is letter C. Because of its complexity, it is able to perform several other functions than a simple one.

It is C. It is made up of more than one simple machine

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.

A speed-time graph is shown below:

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

It traveled 4 centimeters.

Explanation:

In a speed versus time graph, the distance travelled is given by the area under the graph.

In this graph we have the following:

- The speed of the object is v = 1 cm/s between time t = 0 s and t = 4 s

- The speed of the object is v = 0 cm/s between time t = 4 s and t = 8 s

Since the speed in the second part is zero, the distance travelled in the second part is zero. So, the only distance travelled by the object is the distance travelled during the first part, which is equal to the area of the first rectangle:

$d=v\Delta t=(1)(4-0)=4 cm$
