-- Take the 185 feet.

-- Multiply it by (12 inches / 1 feet)

-- Multiply it by (2.54 cm / 1 inch)

-- Multiply it by (1 meter / 100 cm)

Doesn't all this multiplying change the value of the 185 feet ?

NO, it doesn't. Each of those fractions has the exact same thing on top and on the bottom. So each of those fractions is equal to ' 1 '. It doesn't change the value of the 185 feet ... it only changes the UNITS.

Length = (185 feet) x (12 inches/1 feet) x (2.54 cm/1 inch) x (1 meter/100 cm)

Length = (185 x 12 x 2.54) / (1 x 1 x 100) (feet-inch-cm-meter / feet-inch-cm)

Length = <em>56.388 meters</em>

Due to radiation and absorption, what is the maximum flame temperature in a fire?

ludmilkaskok [199]

The maximum flame temperature in a fire is 1500-1600K due to radiation and absorption.

<h3>What do you mean by radiation and absorption?</h3>

In physics, matter (usually electrons bound in atoms) absorbs electromagnetic radiation in order to convert the energy of a photon into the internal energy of the absorber (for example, thermal energy). Attenuation, or the steady decrease in light wave intensity as it travels through a medium, is a prominent effect. In some circumstances (optics), the medium's transparency changes by a factor that varies as a function of wave intensity, leading to saturable absorption (or nonlinear absorption), even though the absorption of waves typically does not depend on their intensity (linear absorption).

Help me plzzz?? I need help it on the picture

No.
The acceleration of gravity on or near Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s² ,
not 20 m/s² .

If it were 20 m/s², then you would weigh almost exactly double
what you really weigh now.
