A student buys a 5000 Btu window air conditioner for his apartment bedroom. He monitors it for one hour on a hot day and determi

nes that it operates approximately 60 percent of the time (duty cycle 5 60 percent) to keep the room at nearly constant temperature. (a) Showing all your work and using unity conversion ratios, calculate the rate of heat transfer into the bedroom through the walls, windows, etc. in units of Btu/h and in units of kW. (b) If the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of the air conditioner is 9.0 and electricity costs 7.5 cents per kilowatt-hr, calculate how much it costs (in cents) for him to run the air conditioner for one hour.

If a crow flies west for 60 km and then south for 45 km, what is the direction of its displacement?
son4ous [18]
That's 105 km that he flew, or 65.2 miles !  I'm absolutely positive
that the crow must have landed and gotten some rest when you
weren't looking.  But that had no effect on his displacement when
he got where he was going, so we can continue to solve the problem:


The displacement is the distance and direction from the place
where the crow took off to the place where he landed.

-- It's distance is the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs
are 60 km and 45 km.

        D²  =  (60 km)²  +  (45 km)²

              =    3,600 km²  +  2,025 km²  =  5,625 km²

         D  =  √(5625 km²)  =  75 km .    
 
-- It's direction is the angle whose tangent is  (45 S / 60 W).

         tan⁻¹ (45/60)  =  tan⁻¹ (0.75)  =  36.9° south of west

                                                         =  53.1° west of south.

                                                         =  not exactly southwest but close.

Is it proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinde
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

No, it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinder.

Explanation:

A cylinder is said to be infinitely long when is of a sufficient length. Also, when the diameter of the cylinder is relatively small compared to the length, it is called infinitely long cylinder.

Cylindrical rods can also be treated as infinitely long when dealing with heat transfers at locations far from the top or bottom surfaces. However, it not proper to treat the cylinder as being infinitely long when:

* When the diameter and length are comparable (i.e have the same measurement)

When finding the temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder, it is NOT PROPER TO USE AN INFINITELY LONG CYLINDER because heat transfer at those locations can be two-dimensional.

Therefore, the answer to the question is NO, since it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder when finding temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder.

How much would you have to eat for your appendix to explode ? I ate so much on thanksgiving and i need to know i’m very scared
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

I don't think your appendix can explode because you ate too much honestly. It's not even possible to eat so much that your appendix explodes, and if you're feeling any pain it definitely isn't because your appendix is about to explode, believe me. Also you could just type it into the internet, that'd be a much faster solution.

In what way are gravitational and electrical forces similar?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact  or not.

Explanation:

- The gravitational force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having mass. This force is always attractive and its magnitude is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the two masses, and r is the distance between the two masses.

- The electrical force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having electrical charge. It can be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the sign of the two charges, and its magnitude is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the two charges, and r the distance between the two charges.

Looking at both formulas, we see that the two forces are present even when the two objects are not in contact with each other (in fact, r can assume any value in the formula). They are said to be non-contact forces. Therefore, the correct option is

D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact  or not.
