A because the ball is moving up (kinetic) and the higher it goes the greater the potential energy when it'll fall.
Complete question :
A 12 m x 15 m house is built on a 12-cm-thick concrete slab.
What is the heat-loss rate through the slab if the ground temperature is 5°C while the interior of the house is 25°C
Answer:
3kW
Explanation:
Given the following :
Dimension of house :
Length = 12m
Width = 15m
Thickness of concrete slab (t) = 12cm
t in metres :
100cm = 1m
12cm = (12/100)m
= 0.12m
Ground temperature (Tg) = 5°C
Interior temperature = (Th) = 25°C
Thermal conductivity of concrete (K) is approximately 1 Wm/k
Using the relation:
Q = KA * [ (Th - Tg) / d]
A = Length * width = (12 *15) = 180
Q = (1 * 180) * [(25°C - 5°C) / 0.12]
Q = 180 * (20/0.12)
Q = 180 * 16.6666
Q = 3,000W = 3kW
