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

You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of ± 0.005 inches. You measure the t
Bond [772]

Answer:

a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in , b) the number of decks is 5

Explanation:

a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated

        x = d / 52

        x = 0.590 / 52

        x = 0.011346 in

Let's look for uncertainty

       Δx = dx /dd Δd

       Δx = 1/52 Δd

       Δx = 1/52  0.005

       Δx = 0.0001 in

The result of the calculation is

        x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in

b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is

           #_cards = n 52

The formula for thickness is

           x = d / n 52

Uncertainty

          Δx = 1 / n 52  Δd

         n = 1/52 Δd / Δx

         n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002

         n = 4.8

Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5

mario62 [17]

Answer:

K =6.697 Kg/s²

Explanation:

Given:

delta m =41 g = 0.041 kg

delta x = 6cm = 0.06m

g = 9.8 m/s²

according to the given formula

K = delta m g /delta x

K = (0.041 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 0.06m

K =6.697 Kg/s²

A system absorbs 194 kj of heat and the surroundings do 120 kj of work on the system. internal eneergy change
notsponge [240]
We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:
\Delta U = Q-W
where
\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done by the system

In our problem, the heat absorbed by the system is Q=+194 kJ, while the work done is W=-120 kJ, where the negative sign means the work is done by the surroundings on the system. Therefore, the variation of internal energy is
\Delta U= Q-W=+194 kJ - (-120 kJ)=+314 kJ
