The interior space of large box is kept at 30 C. The walls of the box are 3 m high and have a ‘sandwich’ construction consisting

of 1.25 cm thick plywood (k = 0.104 W/m-K) on two sides with 5 cm thick Styrofoam (k = 0.04 W/m-K) in the middle. On a cold day when the exterior temperature is 0 C what is the heat loss from the wall per unit area? What are the interface temperatures between the plywood and Styrofoam?

Answer:

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2}

T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C & T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given:

  • interior temperature of box, T_i=30^{\circ}C
  • height of the walls of box, h=3\ m
  • thickness of each layer of bi-layered plywood, x_p=1.25\ cm=0.0125\ m
  • thermal conductivity of plywood, k_p=0.104\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • thickness of sandwiched Styrofoam, x_s=5\ cm=0.05\ m
  • thermal conductivity of Styrofoam, k_s=0.04\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • exterior temperature, T_o=0^{\circ}C

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction:</u>

\dot Q=\frac{dT}{(\frac{x}{kA}) }

\dot Q=\frac{dT}{R_{th} } ....................................(1)

<u>Now calculating the equivalent thermal resistance for conductivity using electrical analogy:</u>

R_{th}=R_p+R_s+R_p

R_{th}=\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}+\frac{x_s}{k_s.A}+\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}

R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{x_p}{k_p}+\frac{x_s}{k_s}+\frac{x_p}{k_p})

R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{0.0125}{0.104}+\frac{0.05}{0.04}+\frac{0.0125}{0.104})

R_{th}=\frac{1.4904}{A} .....................(2)

Putting the value from (2) into (1):

\dot Q=\frac{30-0}{\frac{1.4904}{A} }

\dot Q=\frac{30\ A}{1.4904}

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2} is the heat per unit area of the wall.

The heat flux remains constant because the area is constant.

<u>For plywood-Styrofoam interface from inside:</u>

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_p.\frac{T_i-T_1}{x_p}

20.129=0.104\times \frac{30-T_1}{0.0125}

T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C

&<u>For Styrofoam-plywood interface from inside:</u>

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_s.\frac{T_1-T_2}{x_s}

20.129=0.04\times \frac{27.58-T_2}{0.05}

T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C

Now assume that Eq. 6-14 gives the magnitude of the air drag force on the typical 20 kg stone, which presents to the wind a vert
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

362.41 km/h

Explanation:

F = Force

m = Mass = 84 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

C = Drag coefficient = 0.8

ρ = Density of air = 1.21 kg/m³

A = Surface area = 0.04 m²

v = Terminal velocity

F = ma

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow mg=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\frac{mg}{\rho CA}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\frac{20\times 9.81}{1.21\times 0.8\times 0.04}}\\\Rightarrow v=100.66924\ m/s

Converting to km/h

100.66924\times 3.6=362.41\ km/h

The terminal velocity of the stone is 362.41 km/h

What is the velocity of a 30-kg box with a kinetic energy of 6,000 J? 64 m/s
Nikolay [14]

Answer: 20 m/s

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to consider the expression of the kinetic energy given by:

Ekinetic=(1/2)*(m*v^2)

then E=0.5*30Kg*(20 m/s)^2=15*400=6000J

A square plate of copper with 55.0 cm sides has no net charge and is placed in a region of uniform electric field of 82.0 kN/C d
Alex73 [517]

Answer

given,

Side of copper plate, L = 55 cm

Electric field, E = 82 kN/C

a) Charge density,σ = ?

  using expression of charge density

 σ = E x ε₀

ε₀ is Permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

now,

 σ = 82 x 10³ x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

 σ = 725.7 x 10⁻⁹ C/m²

 σ = 725.7 nC/m²

change density on the plates are 725.7 nC/m² and -725.7 nC/m²

b) Total change on each faces

   Q = σ  A

   Q = 725.7 x 10⁻⁹ x 0.55²

   Q = 219.52 nC

Hence, charges on the faces of the plate are 219.52 nC and -219.52 nC

Help me with this physics math?
solong [7]
Ok. PEMDAS tells us to take care of the square first. When we do that, the denominator becomes

(6.4)^2 x 10^12

= 40.96 x 10^12 .

Now it's just a matter of mashing out the fraction.

The 'mantissa' (the number part) is

6/40.96 = 0.1465

and the order of magnitude is

10^24 / 10^12 = 10^12 .

Put it all together and you've got

1.465 x 10^11 .
