Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 40 \ kilograms}}$

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass. The formula is:

$p=m*v$

We know the rock is falling. Its momentum is 200 kilograms meters per second and its velocity is 5 meters per second. Substitute the values into the formula.

$200 \ kg \ m/s = m * 5.0 \ m/s$

We are solving for m, the mass. We must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 5 meters per second. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divided both sides by 5.0 m/s.

$\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=\frac{ m* 5.0 \ m/s }{5.0 \ m/s}$

$\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=m$

The units of meters per second (m/s) cancel.

$\frac{200 \ kg}{5.0 } =m$

$40 \ kg = m$

The falling rock has a mass of 40 kilograms.

Radiant heat makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat loss by radiation from 1.00 m^2 o

VARVARA [1.3K]

The rate of heat loss by radiation is equal to -207.5kW

Why?

To calculate the heat loss rate (or heat transfer rate) by radiation, from the given situation, we can use the following formula:

$HeatLossRate=E*S*A*((T_{cold})^{4} -(T_{hot})^{4} )$

Where,

E, is the emissivity of the body.

A, is the area of the body.

T, are the temperatures.

S, is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, which is equal to:

$5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2}*K^{-4} }$

Now, before substitute the given information, we must remember that the given formula works with absolute temperatures (Kelvin), so, we need to convert the given values of temperature from Celsius degrees to Kelvin.

We know that:

$K=Celsius+273.15$

So, converting we have:

$T_{1}=1110\°C+273.15=1383.15K\\\\T_{2}=36.2\°C+273.15=309.35K$

Therefore, substituting the given information and calculating, we have:

$HeatLossRate=E*S*A*((T_{cold})^{4} -(T_{hot})^{4} )$

$HeatLossRate=1*5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2}*K^{-4} }*1m^{2} *((309.35K)^{4} -(1383.15})^{4} )\\\\HeatLossRate=5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{K^{-4} }*(95697.42K^{4} -3.66x10^{12}K^{4})\\ \\HeatLossRate=5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{K^{-4} }*(-3.66x10^{12} K^{4})=-207522W=-207.5kW$

Hence, we have that the rate of heat loss is equal to -207.5kW.
