Considering this analogy (current = rate that heat flows through a window, and voltage = temperature difference across the windo

w), how does the resistance of an object depend on the length of the object through which current flows? (This is equivalent to the relationship between the rate of thermal energy transfer and the thickness of the window through which this energy flows.)

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Resistance R in a current flow through an object is given by

R= \frac{\rho L}{A}

ρ = resistivity of the material

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

clearly resistance is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

thermal resistance R_th is given by

R_{th} = \frac{L}{KA}

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

K = Conductivity of the material

thermal resistance is also is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

Answer:

\dot Q\equiv I

R\equiv \frac{dx}{k.A}

\Delta T\equiv V

\dot Q=\frac{\Delta T}{(\frac{dx}{k.A} )}

I=\frac{V}{R}

Explanation:

For heat transfer through a window pane:

  • Let the temperature difference across the window pane be, \Delta T this temperature difference is the driving cause for the flow of heat, <em>likewise we have "V" the potential difference as the driving cause for the flow of charges.</em>
  • Let \dot{Q} be the rate of heat transfer, <em>likewise we have "I" as the rate of flow of charge.</em>
  • The heat transfer rate is inversely propotional to \frac{dx}{k.A}, where:

       dx is the thickness of the material across which the heat travels,

       k is the thermal conductivity of the material

       A is the area of the pane normal to the heat flow.

<em>        And for current we have a constant factor R called resistance to which         the current is inversely proportional to.</em>

<u>The heat transfer rate is given by the Fourier's Law as:</u>

\dot Q=k.A\frac{\Delta T}{dx}

can be further written as

\dot Q=\frac{\Delta T}{(\frac{dx}{k.A} )}...............................(1)

<u>The rate of flow of charge i.e. current is given by the Ohm's Law as:</u>

V=R.I

\Rightarrow I=\frac{V}{R}..............................................(2)

From equations (1) & (2)

\dot Q\equiv I

R\equiv \frac{dx}{k.A}

\Delta T\equiv V

You throw a rock horizontally out of a 7th story window. You time that it takes 3.7 seconds to hit the ground, and measure that
Nady [450]
Since we are only looking at the vertical height, we can use the free fall equation to find the height:
h = 0.5*g*t^2, where h is height in m, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and t is time in seconds
h = 0.5*(9.81 m/s^2)*(3.7 s)^2
h = 67.15 m
Therefore, the 7th floor window is 67.15 m above ground level.

Light is shone on a diffraction grating
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

    λ = 482.05 nm

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon and the diffraction grating is described by the expression

         d sin θ = m λ

where d is the distance between two consecutive slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer representing the order of diffraction

in this case they indicate the distance between slits, the angle and the order of diffraction

         λ = \frac{d sin \theta }{m}d sin θ / m

let's calculate

         λ = 1.00 10⁻⁶ sin 74.6 / 2

         λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m

Let's reduce to nm

         λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1 m)

         λ = 482.05 nm

At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?
abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story:  If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.
