K.E = 1/2*m*v^2 = 1/2(500)(3)^2 = 2250 J

m*g*h = 500(9.8)(30) = 147000 J

2250 + 147000 = 149250

Answer:

Thickness of Styrofoam insulation is 0.02741 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 0.25 m

Depth = 0.5 m

Power = 400 W

Temperature = 33°C

We need to calculate the area of Styrofoam

Using formula of area

A=2(lb+bh+hl)

Put the value into the formula

A=2(0.3\times0.5+0.25\times0.5+0.5\times0.3)

A=0.85\ m^2

Inner surface temperature of freezer

T_{i}=-10°C=263\ K

Outer surface temperature of freezer

T_{o}=33+273=306\ K

We need to calculate the thickness of Styrofoam insulation

Using Fourier law,

q=\dfrac{kA}{L}(T_{o}-T_{i})

L=\dfrac{kA}{q}(T_{o}-T_{i})

Put the value into the formula

L=\dfrac{0.30\times0.85}{400}(306-263)

L=0.02741\ m

Hence, Thickness of Styrofoam insulation is 0.02741 m.

Name some devices we use to make measurements
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ruler. A steel ruler aids the measurement and layout of straight lines. The ruler, also called "straightedge" or "straight-edged ruler," is a long, thin strip of wood, metal or plastic marked with increments of measurement.

Measuring Tape. The modern measuring tape's roughly palm-sized casing contains a coiled strip of metal marked with increments of measurement. The metal strip, called "tape," attaches to a spring which automatically retracts the tape into the casing following use.

Walking Tape Measure. The walking tape measure, also called "surveyor's measure," records the distance traveled by a wheel. An operator pushes the measure's wheel, similar to a bicycle wheel, by a handle as an attached ticker box displays feet or meters in the same format as a car's odometer.

Laser Measure. The laser measure offers point and shoot distance measurement. In its most basic form, a laser measure is a hand-held electronic device with a digital display.

A woman sits on a spinning piano stool with her arms extended. When she folds her arms, which of the following occurs? Question
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct option is that (She decreases her moment of inertia, thereby increasing her angular speed.)

Explanation:

When an object is in circular motion, the vector that describes it is known as angular momentum. Angular momentum is conserved or constant when an object is spinning in a closed system and no external torques are applied to it. An example of conservation of angular momentum is seen when a woman is sitting on a spinning piano stool with her arms extended. Her angular momentum is conserved because the net torque on her is negligibly small as the friction is exerted very close to the pivot point.

When she folds her arms,her rate of spin increases greatly decreasing her moment of inertia. The work she does to pull in her arms results in an increase in rotational kinetic energy( that is, increase in her angular speed). I hope this helps, thanks!
