Answer:
10.52 m
Explanation:
The power radiated by a body is given by
P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴
P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ × 0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W
This is the power radiated by the human body.
The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.
I = P/4πr²
r = (√P/πI)/2
If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus
r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m
So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.
When a circuit is complete, or closed, electrons can flow from one end of a battery all the way around, through the wires, to the other end of the battery. Along its way, it will carry electrons to electrical objects that are connected to it – like the light bulb – and make them work!
