Answer:
C: equal to mg
Explanation:
in free-fall, gravity is always the net force on an object
The correct answer is<span> B.The speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the temperature of the air.
When the temperature increases so does the speed of sound. Sound is faster by </span>0.60 m/s for every higher degree in air temperature because the air density is reduced and the sound can travel faster.
The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.
Then using the second law of equation,

Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so

So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
For part a)
Since the conical surface is not exposed to the radiation coming from the walls only from the circular plate and assuming steady state, the temperature of the conical surface is also equal to the temperature of the circular plate. T2 = 600 K
For part b)
To maintain the temperature of the circular plate, the power required would be calculated using:
Q = Aσ(T₁⁴ - Tw⁴)
Q = π(500x10^-3)²/4 (5.67x10^-8)(600⁴ - 300⁴)
Q = 5410.65 W
