She needs to move x km in the east-west direction and y km in the north-south direction so that

\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=2.17

and

\tan29.6^\circ=\dfrac yx

Solve the system to get

x=1.89\,\mathrm{km}

y=1.07\,\mathrm{km}

A 4.44 l container holds 15.4 g of oxygen at 22.55°c. what is the pressure?
padilas [110]
We will use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where n is moles and equal to mass / Mr
P = mRT/MrV
P = 15.4 x 8.314 x (22.55 + 273) / 32 x 4.44
P = 266.3 kPa

Floating. When you have no gravity you have nothing to be pushing you down to the floor so that would be an example of no gravity pushing on you.

Real bodies emit and absorb more radiation than a blackbody at the same temperature. True or False
monitta

Answer: False

Explanation:

Relative to the concept of radiations, a black body is an object capable of absorbing any form of electromagnetic radiation irrespective of its frequency or angle of incidence when incident on such object.

However, the same cannot be said about real bodies as real bodies are those which reflect all rays incident on them completely and uniformly in all directions.

One very important characteristic of black bodies is that they are ideal emmiters.

The concept of emmisivity is brought about by the existence of real bodies .

This is due to the fact that they are only able to emit radiation at a fraction of the black body energy levels.

Please note that by convention, the emmisivity of a real body is always less thaan 1.

As such they are not able to emit as much radiation as a black body at the same temperature.
