The total surface area of the human body is 1.20 m2 and the surface temperature is 30∘C=303∘K. If the surroundings are at a temp

erature of 4.0 ∘C , what is the net rate of heat loss from the body by radiation? The emissivity of the body is very close to unity, irrespective of skin pigmentation. Express your answer using two significant figures.

To solve this problem we must consider the expressions of Stefan Boltzmann's law for which the rate of change of the radiation of energy H from a surface must be

H = Ae\sigma T^4

Where

A = Surface area

e = Emissivity that characterizes the emitting properties of the surface

\sigma = Universal constant called the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (5.67*10^{-8}m^{-2}K^{-4})

T = Absolute temperature

The total heat loss would be then

Q = H_2 -H_1

Q =Ae\sigma T_2^4-Ae\sigma T_1^4

Q = Ae\sigma (T_2^4-T_1^4)

Q = (1.2)(1)(5.67*10^{-8})(303^4-280^4)

Q = 155.29J

Therefore the net rate of heat loss from the body by radiation is 155.29J

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Work done is given as the product of force and distance.

In this case;

Work done  = ∫︎ F(x) dx  

                    = F0 ∫︎ e^(-x/L) dx  

                    = F0 [ -L e^(-x/L) ] between 0 and L  

                    = F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

muminat

Answer:

4°C

Explanation:

Water is densest at 4°C.  Since dense water sinks, the bottom of the lake will be 4°C.

a shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 51.0 ∘above the horizontal. th
Savatey [412]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

The range (horizontal distance) of the projectile is determined only by its horizontal motion.

The horizontal motion is a motion with constant speed, which is equal to the initial horizontal velocity of the object:

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=51.0^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of v and the horizontal

Substituting,

v_x = (12.0 m/s)(cos 51.0^{\circ} )=7.55 m/s

We know that the projectile hits the ground in a time of

t = 2.08 s

so the horizontal distance covered is

d = v_x t = (7.55 m/s)(2.08 s)=15.7 m
