If you lie on the ground at night with no cover, you get cold rather quickly. Much of this is due to energy loss by radiation. A

t night in a dry climate, the temperature of the sky can drop to −40∘C. If you are lying on the ground with thin clothing that provides little insulation, the surface temperature of your skin and clothes will be about 30∘C. Estimate the net rate at which you body loses energy by radiation to the night sky under these conditions. Hint: What area should we use?

Answer:

301.48 J/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Temperature of the sky dropping to −40∘C: T_o = -40°C = -40 + 273 = 233 K

Temperature of your skin and clothes: T = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K

Body surface area of human body is around 2 m². But here only half of the body is facing the sky, Thus Area is: A = 2/2 = 1 m²

To solve this, we will use the equation for thermal heat transfer known as the Stefan bolt Mann equation.

ΔQ/Δt = εσA(T⁴ - (T_o)⁴)

Where;

ΔQ/Δt is the rate at which you body loses energy by radiation

ε is the emissivity of the human body with a value of 0.97

σ is Stefan boltzmann constant with a value of 5.67 X 10^(-8) W/m².K⁴

Thus;

ΔQ/Δt = 0.97 × 5.67 X 10^(-8) × 1(303⁴ - 233⁴)

ΔQ/Δt = 301.48 J/s

The frequency of oscillation of a certain LC circuit is 299 kHz. At time t = 0, plate A of the capacitor has maximum positive ch
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given an LC circuit

Frequency of oscillation

f = 299 kHz = 299,000 Hz

AT t = 0 , the plate A has maximum positive charge

A. At t > 0, the plate again positive charge, the required time is

t =

t = 1 / f

t = 1 / 299,000

t = 0.00000334448 seconds

t = 3.34 × 10^-6 seconds

t = 3.34 μs

it will be maximum after integral cycle t' = 3.34•n μs

Where n = 1,2,3,4....

B. After every odd multiples of n, other plate will be maximum positive charge, at time equals

t" = ½(2n—1)•t

t'' = ½(2n—1) 3.34 μs

t" = (2n —1) 1.67 μs

where n = 1,2,3...

C. After every half of t,inductor have maximum magnetic field at time

t'' = ½ × t'

t''' = ½(2n—1) 1.67μs

t"' = (2n —1) 0.836 μs

where n = 1,2,3...

If a force of 30N is applied to an object of mass 8kg which is kept on a surface, it achieves an acceleration of 3m/s. What is t
Eduardwww [97]

By Newton's second law, the net force on the object acting parallel to the surface is

∑ F = F[applied] - F[friction] = (8k g) (3 m/s²)

If F[applied] = 30 N, then

30 N - F[friction] = 24 N   ⇒   F[friction] = 6 N

so the answer is B.
