The fins attached to a surface are determined to have an effectiveness of 0.9. Do the rate of heat transfer from the surface dec

rease as a result of the addition of these fins?

Answer: The rate of heat transfer decreases.

Explanation:

Fin effectiveness is defined as the ratio of heat transfer rate from a  finned surface to the heat transfer rate from the same surface if there were no fins.  Its  value is expected to be greater than 1.

Having effectiveness  value of 0.9  which is less than 1 indicates that the heat transfer rate will decrease since a fin effectiveness smaller than 1 shows that the  fin acts as insulation (thermal insulation).

A 5000-lb truck is being used to lift a 1000-lb boulder B that is on a 200-lb pallet A. Knowing that the truck starts from rest
artcher [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total weight being moved = 5000+1000+200

= 6200 lb .

Force applied = 700 lb

= 700 x 32 = 22400 poundal .

acceleration (a) = 22400 / 6200

= 3.613 ft /s²

To know velocity after 6 ft we apply the formula

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2 x 3.613 x 6

43.356

v = 6.58 ft/s

A series circuit has 4 identical lamps. The potential difference of the energy source is 60V. The total resistance of the lamps
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I=3A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of lamps N=4

Potential difference V=60v

Total Resistance of the lamp is R= 20ohms

Generally the equation for Current I is mathematically given by

 I=\frac{V}{R}

 I=\frac{60}{20}

 I=3A

About what thickness of aluminum is needed to stop a beam of (a) 2.5-MeV electrons, (b) 2.5-MeV protons, and (c) 10-MeV alpha pa
Nana76 [90]

The thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>Thickness of the aluminum</h3>

The thickness of the aluminum can be determined using from distance of closest approach of the particle.

K.E = \frac{2KZe^2}{r}

where;

  • Z is the atomic number of aluminium  = 13
  • e is charge
  • r is distance of closest approach = thickness of aluminium
  • k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²
<h3>For 2.5 MeV electrons</h3>

r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{2.5 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m

<h3>For 2.5 MeV protons</h3>

Since the magnitude of charge of electron and proton is the same, at equal kinetic energy, the thickness will be same. r = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>For 10 MeV alpha-particles</h3>

Charge of alpah particle = 2e

r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (2 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{10 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m

Thus, the thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

A concrete mix design calls for 6.5 sacks of cement, a water/cement ratio of 0.45, and an air content of 2.5%. 1. Complete the m
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

28.6 kg

Explanation:

The final weight can be calculated from the mixing data and formulae which is given as follows:

cement content = \frac{water content}{water - cement ratio}

Computing the parameters and checking the tables gives 28.6 kg.
