How does radiation differ from conduction? (4 points)

1 answer:

7 0

The difference between radiation and conduction is that radiation is described as he transfer of heat energy by electromagnetic waves without involving particles. Conduction is described as the flow of heat from one solid to another, using a hot knife as an example.

A bat moving at 3.7 m/s is chasing a ying insect. The bat emits a 36 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 36.79 kHz. At what s

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the bat, v₀ = 3.7 m/s

frequency of the bat, F₀ = 36 kHz

frequency of the source, Fs = 36.79

This is relative motion between a source of the sound and the observer. The phenomenon is known as Doppler effect.

Apply the following equation to determine the speed of the insect which is the source;

$F_0 = F_s[\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{F_0}{F_s} = [\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{36.79}{36} = \frac{340+3.7}{340-v_s}\\\\1.0219 = \frac{343.7}{340-v_s}\\\\ 340-v_s = \frac{343.7}{1.0219}\\\\340-v_s = 336.33\\\\v_s = 340-336.33\\\\v_s = 3.67 \ m/s$

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey = 3.7m/s - 3.67m/s = 0.03 m/s

Therefore, the speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

hammer [34]

This phenomenon is called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

When I met my future wife, she was working in the medical research building next door to the communications building where I worked. (We shared a parking lot.) MRI was not a thing yet, and she was doing research in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. I learned a lot about it when I walked next door to visit her in her lab. Strange as it may seem, several years earlier, her older brother was involved in the invention of the CAT scan. When we got married, I figured that our kids had at least a 50% chance of inheriting some brains. So we had some, and they've done OK.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

2.23 × 10^6 g of F- must be added to the cylindrical reservoir in order to obtain a drinking water with a concentration of 0.8ppm of F-

Explanation:

Here are the steps of how to arrive at the answer:

The volume of a cylinder = ((pi)D²/4) × H

Where D = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = 2.02 × 10^2m

H = Height of the reservoir = 87.32m

Therefore volume of cylindrical reservoir = (3.142×202²/4)m² × 87.32m = 2798740.647m³

1ppm = 1g/m³

0.8ppm = 0.8 × 1g/m³

= 0.8g/m³

Therefore to obtain drinking water of concentration 0.8g/m³ in a reservoir of volume 2798740.647m³, F- of mass = 0.8g/m³ × 2798740.647m³ = 2.23 × 10^6 g must be added to the tank.

Thank you for reading.

To tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.50•10^6 N, one at an angle 19.0° west of north, a

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Work done by a tug boat, W = 1.735 x 10⁸ J

Explanation:

Given,

The of each tugboat, F = 1.5 x 10⁶ N

The angle of each tugboat forms with the resultant force, θ = 19°

The displacement of the supertanker, s = 710 m

The individual tugboat will be responsible for the displacement, d = 710/2

= 355 m

The displacement component in each tugboat direction = 355 · sin θ meter

Therefore, the work done by each tugboat is

W = F x S joules

Substituting the values in the above equation

W = 1.5 x 10⁶ x 355 · sin θ

= 1.735 x 10⁸ J

Hence, the work done by each tugboat is, W = 1.735 x 10⁸ J
