A good heat insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the heat energy
from any heat that flows through it.

A good electrical insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the energy
from any electric current that flows through it.

Several springs are connected as illustrated below in (a). Knowing the individual springs stiffness k1 = 20 N/m, k2 = 30 N/m, k3
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring stiffness is

k_{1}=20\ N/m

k_{2}=30\ N/m

k_{3}=15\ N/m

k_{4}=20\ N/m

k_{5}=35\ N/m

According to figure,

k_{2} and k_{3} is in series

We need to calculate the equivalent

Using formula for series

\dfrac{1}{k}=\dfrac{1}{k_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{k_{3}}

k=\dfrac{k_{2}k_{3}}{k_{2}+k_{3}}

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{30\times15}{30+15}

k=10\ N/m

k and k_{4} is in parallel

We need to calculate the k'

Using formula for parallel

k'=k+k_{4}

Put the value into the formula

k'=10+20

k'=30\ N/m

k_{1},k' and k_{5} is in series

We need to calculate the equivalent stiffness of the spring

Using formula for series

k_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{k_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{k'}+\dfrac{1}{k_{5}}

Put the value into the formula

k_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}+\dfrac{1}{35}

k_{eq}=8.93\ N/m

Hence, The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. Which gas became part of Earth's atmosphere as a result of the evolution of life-forms?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Earth's atmosphere was largely made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases. After photosynthesizing organisms multiplied on Earth's surface and in the oceans, much of the carbon dioxide was replaced with oxygen.

Idk if this helps but plz mark brainliest if it does

Water enters a baseboard radiator at 180 °F and at a flow rate of 2.0 gpm. Assuming the radiator releases heat into the room at
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Temperature of water leaving the radiator = 160°F

Explanation:

Heat released = (ṁcΔT)

Heat released = 20000 btu/hr = 5861.42 W

ṁ = mass flowrate = density × volumetric flow rate

Volumetric flowrate = 2 gallons/min = 0.000126 m³/s; density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ṁ = 1000 × 0.000126 = 0.126 kg/s

c = specific heat capacity for water = 4200 J/kg.K

H = ṁcΔT = 5861.42

ΔT = 5861.42/(0.126 × 4200) = 11.08 K = 11.08°C

And in change in temperature terms,

10°C= 18°F

11.08°C = 11.08 × 18/10 = 20°F

ΔT = T₁ - T₂

20 = 180 - T₂

T₂ = 160°F
