Answer: A.True

Explanation: simply put the magnitude of the speed is a function of Distance while the magnitude of velocity is a function of Displacement. Displacement is the average Distance moved in different directions which will be smaller in magnitude compared to the Total Distance used the calculating the magnitude of speed.

Two parallel disks of diameter D 5 0.6 m separated by L 5 0.4 m are located directly on top of each other. Both disks are black
oksian1 [2.3K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Stefan-Boltzmann law which establishes that a black body emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power (W / m²) proportional to the fourth power of its temperature.

Heat flow is obtained as follows:

Q = FA\sigma\Delta T^4

Where,

F =View Factor

A = Cross sectional Area

\sigma = Stefan-Boltzmann constant

T= Temperature

Our values are given as

D = 0.6m

L = 0.4m\\T_1 = 450K\\T_2 = 450K\\T_3 = 300K

The view factor between two coaxial parallel disks would be

\frac{L}{r_1} = \frac{0.4}{0.3}= 1.33

\frac{r_2}{L} = \frac{0.3}{0.4} = 0.75

Then the view factor between base to top surface of the cylinder becomes F_{12} = 0.26. From the summation rule

F_{13} = 1-0.26

F_{13} = 0.74

Then the net rate of radiation heat transfer from the disks to the environment is calculated as

\dot{Q_3} = \dot{Q_{13}}+\dot{Q_{23}}

\dot{Q_3} = 2\dot{Q_{13}}

\dot{Q_3} = 2F_{13}A_1 \sigma (T_1^4-T_3^4)

\dot{Q_3} = 2(0.74)(\pi*0.3^2)(5.67*10^{-8})(450^4-300^4)

\dot{Q_3} = 780.76W

Therefore the rate heat radiation is 780.76W

Sphere A has a charge of +2 x 10 to the power of -6 coulomb and is brought into contact with a similar sphere, B which has a cha
Setler [38]
When sphere A and B are brought in contact and separated, charge on each sphere becomes [2x10^-6 + (-4x10^-6)]/ 2 = -1x10^-6 C.

That is, charge is equally separated and is the average of charges on both spheres. The reason behind equal charge on both spheres after separation is, when they are kept in contact, their potential difference becomes same.

A uniform solid disk with a mass of 24.3 kg and a radius of 0.364 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axle. Forces of 90.0
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a. -12.7 Nm

b. -7.9 rad/s^2

Explanation:

I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.

Forces applied to the solid disk include:

F_1 = 90.0N\\F_2 = 125N

Other parameters given include:

Mass of solid disk, M = 24.3kg

and radius of solid disk, r = 0.364m

a.) The formula for determining torque (T), is T = r * F

Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:

T = T_{125} + T_{90}\\= -r(125)sin90 + r(90)sin90\\= 0.364(-125 + 90)\\= -12.7 Nm

b.)  The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:

using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;

I_{disk} = {\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2

where M = Mass of solid disk

and r = radius of solid disk

We then relate the torque and angular acceleration (\alpha) with the formula:

T = I\alpha \\-12.7 = ({\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2)\alpha \\\alpha  = -{\frac{12.7}{1.61}} = -7.9 rad/s^2

How does air pressure change with altitude?
charle [14.2K]
Air pressure changes with altitude because of issues related to gravity. Molecules have more weight the closer they are to the Earth and more of them move to lower elevations as a result; this causes increased pressure because there are more molecules in number and proximity. Conversely, air at higher elevations has less weight, but also forces pressure on those layers below it, resulting in the molecules closer to the Earth supporting more weight, increasing the pressure
