What must be true about a surface in order for diffuse reflection to occur?

Physics
1 answer:
balu736 [363]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

carpet

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The structure of carpet's surface is as shown. Thus it shows large amount of diffuse reflection.

Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is 5 cm and whose walls are maintained at a temperature of 13
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

5945.27 W per meter of tube length.

Explanation:

Let's assume that:

  • Steady operations exist;
  • The heat transfer coefficient (h) is uniform over the entire fin surfaces;
  • Thermal conductivity (k) is constant;
  • Heat transfer by radiation is negligible.

First, let's calculate the heat transfer (Q) that occurs when there's no fin in the tubes. The heat will be transferred by convection, so let's use Newton's law of cooling:

Q = A*h*(Tb - T∞)

A is the area of the section of the tube,

A = π*D*L, where D is the diameter (5 cm = 0.05 m), and L is the length. The question wants the heat by length, thus, L= 1m.

A = π*0.05*1 = 0.1571 m²

Q = 0.1571*40*(130 - 25)

Q = 659.73 W

Now, when the fin is added, the heat will be transferred by the fin by convection, and between the fin and the tube by convection, thus:

Qfin = nf*Afin*h*(Tb - T∞)

Afin = 2π*(r2² - r1²) + 2π*r2*t

r2 is the outer radius of the fin (3 cm = 0.03 m), r1 is the radius difference of the fin and the tube ( 0.03 - 0.025 = 0.005 m), and t is the thickness ( 0.001 m).

Afin = 0.006 m²

Qfin = 0.97*0.006*40*(130 - 25)

Qfin = 24.44 W

The heat transferred at the space between the fin and the tube will be:

Qspace = Aspace*h*(Tb - T∞)

Aspace = π*D*S, where D is the tube diameter and S is the space between then,

Aspace = π*0.05*0.003 = 0.0005

Qspace = 0.0005*40*(130 - 25) = 1.98 W

The total heat is the sum of them multiplied by the total number of fins,

Qtotal = 250*(24.44 + 1.98) = 6605 W

So, the increase in heat is 6605 - 659.73 = 5945.27 W per meter of tube length.

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector

Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work
Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.

Why is evolution called a scientific theory?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Evolution is widely observable in laboratory and natural populations as they change over time. The fact that we need annual flu vaccines is one example of observable evolution. At the same time, evolutionary theory explains more than observations, as the succession on the fossil record. Hence, evolution is also the scientific theory that embodies biology, including all organisms and their characteristics. In this paper, we emphasize why evolution is the most important theory in biology. Evolution explains every biological detail, similar to how history explains many aspects of a current political situation. Only evolution explains the patterns observed in the fossil record. Examples include the succession in the fossil record; we cannot find the easily fossilized mammals before 300 million years ago; after the extinction of the dinosaurs, the fossil record indicates that mammals and birds radiated throughout the planet. Additionally, the fact that we are able to construct fairly consistent phylogenetic trees using distinct genetic markers in the genome is only explained by evolutionary theory. Finally, we show that the processes that drive evolution, both on short and long time scales, are observable facts.

A fan that is rotating at 960 rev/s is turned off. It makes 1500 revolutions before it comes to a stop. a) What was its angular
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

α = 1930.2 rad/s²

Explanation:

The angular acceleration can be found by using the third equation of motion:

2\alpha \theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2

where,

α = angular acceleration = ?

θ = angular displacement = (1500 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 9424.78 rad

ωf = final angular speed = 0 rad/s

ωi = initial angular speed = (960 rev/s)(2π rad/1 rev) = 6031.87 rad/s

Therefore,

2\alpha(9424.78\ rad) = (0\ rad/s)^2-(6031.87\ rad/s)^2\\\\\alpha = -\frac{(6031.87\ rad/s)^2}{(2)(9424.78\ rad)}

<u>α = - 1930.2 rad/s²</u>

<u>negative sign shows deceleration</u>
