Answer:

I = 3.785 W/m²

Explanation:

given,

distance from the light, r = 1.45 m

Power of bulb = 100 W

The area is that of a sphere with a radius equal to the distance from the light bulb.

The formula for the area of a sphere of radius 1.45 meters is:

A = 4 π r²

A = 4 x π x 1.45²

A = 26.42 m²

Intensity of the light is equal to

$I = \dfrac{P}{A}$

$I = \dfrac{100}{26.42}$

I = 3.785 W/m²

Intensity of the light at 1.45 m is equal to I = 3.785 W/m²

Calculate the average Power in kilowatts required to pull a car up a ramp in the amount of work is 250 KJ over a period of 45 se

kherson [118]

For this case we have that by definition, the average power is given by:

$P = \frac {W} {t}$

Where:

W: It is the work done

t: It's time

According to the data we have to:

$W = 250 \ KJ = 250,000 \ J\\t = 45 \ s$

So:

$P = \frac {250,000} {45}\\P = 5555.55 \ watts = 5.56 \ kw$

Answer:

$5.56 \ kw$

A flare is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally at uniform velocity (constant speed in a straight line). Neglecting air

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Option B (remain vertically under the plane) is the correct option.

Explanation:

A flare would follow a particle trajectory with horizontal direction somewhat like airplane velocity as well as initial maximum motion as null but instead, gravity will induce acceleration. It would be lowered vertically underneath the plane before flare had already sunk to something like the surface.
There is no different movement in the airplane nor even the flash. And none of them can change its horizontal level.

Some other alternatives are given really aren't linked to the specified scenario. So choice B is the perfect solution to that.

In this problem you will consider the balance of thermal energy radiated and absorbed by a person.Assume that the person is wear

Viefleur [7K]

Answer: $P=14.6 W$

Explanation:

According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law for real radiating bodies:

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

Where:

$P$ is the energy radiated (in Watts)

$\sigma=5.67(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}}$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann's constant.

$A$ is the Surface area of the body

$T=30\°C + 273.15= 303.15 K$ is the effective temperature of the body (its surface absolute temperature) in Kelvin

$\epsilon=0.6$ is the body's emissivity

On the other hand, we are told the human body is roughly approximated to a cylinder of length $L=2.0m$ and circumference $C=0.8m$ .

The circumference of a circle is: $C=0.8m=2 \pi r$ where $r$ is the radius. Hence $r=\frac{0.8m}{2 \pi}=0.1273 m$ .

Now we have to input this value for $r$ in the Area of a cylinder formula:

$A=\pi r^{2}L$

$A=\pi (0.1273 m)^{2}(2 m)$

$A=0.0509 m^{2}$ (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

$P=(5.67(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}}) (0.0509 m^{2}) (0.6) (303.15 K)^{4}$ (3)

Finally:

$P=14.62 W \approx 14.6 W$

Why is your weight the same any place on Earth?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: A person can weigh differently at various place on Earth because of the fluctuations in Earth's gravity, according to a new high-resolution map. ... Earth's gravity is weaker at the equator due to centrifugal forces produced by the planet's rotation

Given: 3x + y = 1. Solve for y. y = -3 x - 1 y = -3 x + 1 y = 3 x - 1

maw [93]

Answer:

y = -3x + 1

Explanation:

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation:

3x + y = 1

3x (-3x) + y = 1 (-3x)

y = -3x + 1

y = -3x + 1 is your answer.
