43.278 kg - 28.1 g use significant figures rule

1 answer:

You cannot directly subtract the given values because their units are different. To be consistent, let's convert kilograms to grams with the conversion that 1,000 g = 1 kg.

43.278 kg(1,000 g/1 kg) - 28.1 g = 43249.9 grams

In subtraction, you will base the number of significant figures to the least of the given data. Since 28.1 has 3 significant figures, the answer should also contain 3 significant figures. Thus, it is much more convenient to report it in terms of kilograms.

43249.9 grams * 1 kg/ 1,000 g = 43.2 kg

Consider a 20 cm thick granite wall with a thermal conductivity of 2.79 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held const

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

Explanation:

Thickness of the wall is L= 20cm = 0.2m

Thermal conductivity of the wall is K = 2.79 W/m·K

Temperature at the left side surface is T₁ = 50°C

Temperature of the air is T = 22°C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 15 W/m2·K

Heat conduction process through wall is equal to the heat convection process so

$Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}$

Expression for the heat conduction process is

$Q_{conduction} = \frac{K(T_1 - T)}{L}$

Expression for the heat convection process is

$Q_{convection} = h(T_2 - T)$

Substitute the expressions of conduction and convection in equation above

$Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}$

$\frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L} = h(T_2 - T)$

Substitute the values in above equation

$\frac{2.79(50- T_2)}{0.2} = 15(T_2 - 22)\\\\T_2 = 35.5^\circC$

Now heat flux through the wall can be calculated as

$q_{flux} = Q_{conduction} \\\\q_{flux} = \frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L}\\\\q_{flux} = \frac{2.79(50 - 35.5)}{0.2}\\\\q_{flux} = 202.3W/m^2$

Thus, the right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

A planetâs moon revolves around the planet with a period of 39 Earth days in an approximately circular orbit of radius of 4.8Ã10

Alchen [17]

Answer:

v = 895 m/s

Explanation:

Time period is given as 39 Earth Days

$T = 39 days \times 24 hr \times 3600 s$

$T = 3369600 s$

now the radius of the orbit is given as

$r = 4.8 \times 10^8 m$

so the total path length is given as

$L = 2 \pi r$

$L = 2\pi (4.8 \times 10^8)$

$L = 3.015 \times 10^9$

now the speed will be given as

$v = \frac{L}{T}$

$v = \frac{3.015 \times 10^9}{3369600}$

$v = 895 m/s$
