erik [133]3 years ago

<span>A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 450 W/m2. This wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). Polarizer A is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ1 = 32.6° with the incident electric field. Polarizer B has its axis at an angle of θ2 = 75.8° with the incident electric field, as shown in the figure.</span>

Consider a 20 cm thick granite wall with a thermal conductivity of 2.79 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held const
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

Explanation:

Thickness of the wall is  L=  20cm = 0.2m

Thermal conductivity of the wall is  K = 2.79 W/m·K

Temperature at the left side surface is T₁ =  50°C

Temperature of the air is T = 22°C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is  h = 15 W/m2·K

Heat conduction process through wall is equal to the heat convection process so

Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}

Expression for the heat conduction process is

Q_{conduction} = \frac{K(T_1 - T)}{L}

Expression for the heat convection process is

Q_{convection} = h(T_2 - T)

Substitute the expressions of conduction and convection in equation above

Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}

\frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L} = h(T_2 - T)

Substitute the values in above equation

\frac{2.79(50- T_2)}{0.2} = 15(T_2 - 22)\\\\T_2 = 35.5^\circC

Now heat flux through the wall can be calculated as

q_{flux} = Q_{conduction} \\\\q_{flux}  = \frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L}\\\\q_{flux}  = \frac{2.79(50 - 35.5)}{0.2}\\\\q_{flux} = 202.3W/m^2

Thus, the right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

Stress distributed over an area is best described as: a) External force b) Axial force c) Radial force d) Internal resistive for
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Stress is the force per unit area that tend to change the shape of body.

Stress is defined as internal resistive force per unit area.

         \texttt{Stress}=\frac{\texttt{Internal resistive force}}{\texttt{Area}}

         \sigma =\frac{F}{A}

So, so stress distributed over an area is best described as internal resistive force.

Option D is the correct answer.

How long would it take to travel 10 light years at the speed of light?
Vladimir79 [104]

A light year is the DISTANCE light travels through vacuum in 1 year.

If light is traveling through vacuum, then it's traveling at the speed of light in vacuum. If a student at home at the beginning of the trip is holding the clock, then ...

Traveling 1 light year takes 1 year.

Traveling 2 light years takes 2 years.

Traveling 3 light years takes 3 years.

Traveling 10 light years takes 10 years.

If the light is traveling through some other substance, or if the clock is traveling along with the light, then these numbers all change.

YOU cannot travel at the speed of light. We have to just leave it at that

A ball is tossed with enough speed straight up so that it is in the air several seconds. (a) What is the velocity of the ball wh
irina1246 [14]

(a) Zero

When the ball reaches its highest point, the direction of motion of the ball reverses (from upward to downward). This means that the velocity is changing sign: this also means that at that moment, the velocity must be zero.

This can be also understood in terms of conservation of energy: when the ball is tossed up, initially it has kinetic energy

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the ball's mass and v is the initial speed. As it goes up, this kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, and when the ball reaches the highest point, all the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy:

U=mgh

where g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the ball at highest point. At that point, therefore, the potential energy is maximum, while the kinetic energy is zero, and so the velocity is also zero.

(b) 9.8 m/s upward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s before reaching its highest point by using the equation:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, which is negative since it points downward

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u is the initial velocity

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for u, we find

u=v-at = 0 -(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= +9.8 m/s

and the positive sign means it points upward.

(c) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

\Delta v = v -u

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u = 9.8 m/s is the initial velocity

Substituting, we find

\Delta v = 0 - (+9.8 m/s)=-9.8 m/s

(d) 9.8 m/s downward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s after reaching its highest point by using again the equation:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where this time we have

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, still negative

v  is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for v, we find

v = u+at = 0 +(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= -9.8 m/s

and the negative sign means it points downward.

(e) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

\Delta v = v -u

where here we have

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

Substituting, we find

\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - 0=-9.8 m/s

(f) -19.6 m/s

The change in velocity during the overall 2-s interval is given by

\Delta v = v -u

where in this case we have:

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = +9.8 m/s is the initial velocity (1 s before reaching the highest point)

Substituting, we find

\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - (+9.8 m/s)=-19.6 m/s

(g) -9.8 m/s^2

There is always one force acting on the ball during the motion: the force of gravity, which is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the ball

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration (a), so

mg = ma

which means that the acceleration is

a= g = -9.8 m/s^2

and the negative sign means it points downward.
