A wall (of thermal conductivity 0.98 W/m · ◦ C) of a building has dimensions of 3.7 m by 15 m. The average inside and outside
disa [49]

Answer:

Answer:

the amount of energy flowing is 1.008x10⁹J

Explanation:

To calculate how much heat flows, the expression is the following:

Where

K=thermal conductivity=0.81W/m°C

A=area=6.2*12=74.4m²

ΔT=30-8=22°C

L=thickness=8cm=0.08m

t=time=16.9h=60840s

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when its temperature is 35.0°C. What will the change in i
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)

What is the benefit of developing the atomic mass unit as a standard unit of mass?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The atomic mass unit is 1/12 of an atom of carbon 12, and is a very small amount to represent in kilograms:

1m_{u}=1.66054x10^{-27}kg

m_{u} is atomic mass unit.

This is why the benefits of the atomic mass unit is that it makes the representation of atomic masses easier in terms of the simplicity of the numbers that are used to represent the masses. Also using the atomic mass unit it is easier to compare the masses of different atoms, These numbers would be very small and would require negative powers of 10 to represent them, so it is more convenient to use the atomic mass unit.

Does mechanical advantage have units? Explain your answer.
motikmotik

Answer:

The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load (the resistance overcome by a machine) to the effort (the force applied). For an ideal (without friction) mechanism, it is also equal to: There is no unit for mechanical advantages since the unit for both input and output forces cancel out.
