What happens when infrared hits a shiny surface

A 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a dra

bija089 [108]

Explanation:

Terminal velocity is given by:

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho C_dA}}$

Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration, $C_d$ is the drag coefficient, $\rho$ is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:

$A=\frac{A_s}{2}=\frac{930cm^2}{2}=465cm^2\\465cm^2*\frac{1m^2}{10^4cm^2}=0.0465m^2\\560g*\frac{1kg}{10^3g}=0.56kg$

Recall that drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver is equal to 1 and air density is $1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}$ .

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.56kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}{(1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}(1)(0.0465m^2)}}\\v_t=13.58\frac{m}{s}$

Without drag contribution the motion of the person is an uniformly accelerated motion, thus:

$v_f^2=v_o^2+2gh\\v_f=\sqrt{2gh}\\v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5m)}\\v_f=9.9\frac{m}{s}$

What is the difference between the law of conservation of energy and conserving energy

babymother [125]

law of conservation of energy is states that energy of the universe remains constant cant be created nor destroyed and conserving energy is not using as much power as you was like trying to make power bill lower while law of conservation is constant

What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 3 m and a frequency of .1Hz?

Yuri [45]

We know,
Speed = Frequency * Wavelength
Speed = 3 * 0.1 m/s [hertz = 1/sec.]
So, your final answer is 0.3 m/s

Hope this helps!!

Which one of the following statements concerning the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is correct? The equation can be used to calculate

Helen [10]

"The equation can be used to calculate the power absorbed by any surface" statement concerning the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is correct.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

According to Stefan Boltzmann equation, the power radiated by black body radiation source is directly proportionate to the fourth power of temperature of the source. So the radiation transferred is absorbed by another surface and that absorbed power will also be equal to the fourth power of the temperature. So the equation describes the relation of net radiation loss with the change in temperature from hotter temperature to cooler temperature surface.

$P=e \sigma A\left(T^{4}-T_{c}^{4}\right)$

So this law is application for calculating power absorbed by any surface.

Why is it that an object can accelerate while

posledela

For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.
