If you calculate the thermal power radiated by typical objects at room temperature, you will find surprisingly large values, sev

eral kilowatts typically. For example, a square box that is 1 m on each side and painted black (therefore justifying an emissivity e near unity) emits 2.5 kW at a temperature of 20∘C. In reality the net thermal power emitted by such a box must be much smaller than this, or else the box would cool off quite quickly. Which of the following alternatives seems to explain this conundrum best?A. The box is black only in the visible spectrum; in the infrared (where it radiates) it is quite shiny and radiates little power.
B. The surrounding room is near the temperature of the box and radiates about 2.5 kW of thermal energy into the box.
C. Both of the first two factors contribute significantly.
D. Neither of the first two factors is the explanation.

Answer:

best explanation of this is sentence B

Explanation:

The radiation emission of the bodies is given by the expression

     P = σ A e T⁴

Where P is the power emitted in watts, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, A is the surface area of ​​the body, e is the emissivity for black body e = 1 and T is the absolute body temperature in degrees Kelvin.

When the values ​​are substituted the power is quite high 2.5 KW, but the medium surrounding the box also emits radiation

   T box ≈ T room

    P box ≈ P room

As the two powers are similar and the box can absorbed, since it has the ability to emit and absorb radiation, as the medium is also close of the temperature of the box, the amount emitted is very similar to that absorbed, so the net change in energy is very small.

   In the case that the box is much hotter or colder than the surrounding medium if there is a significant net transfer.

Consequently, the best explanation of this is sentence B

Which term describes speed in a certain direction?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

A. Velocity

Explanation:

Velocity is vector quantity thus has both magnitude and direction. It describes not only the speed but also the direction. Speed is scalar quantity so describes only speed but not direction. Energy has nothing to do with speed, acceleration describes change in velocity in a direction over time

Paolo says that his bicycle is hard to pedal.Mia looks at the bicycle and tells him he needs to oil the chain.explain why oiling
laila [671]

Answer:

Less friction

Explanation:

Paolo's bike is too difficult to pedal because there is too much friction in the mechanisms of the bike. To reduce friction, Paolo must oil the chain. This will make the bike run much more smoothly and allow for easier pedalling.
