A light ray in air enters and passes through a block of glass. What can be stated with regard to its speed after it emerges from

Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed is same as that before it entered glass.

Explanation:

Given:

A light ray enters and passes through the glass as shown in the diagram.

We have to analyze its speed.

Speed of light in air is $3\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$ and speed of light in glass is $2.25\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$

Whenever a light ray enters a glass block or slab there is bending of light at the interface of the two media.

So speed of light will decrease in glass medium and again it passes to the air.

So

Speed of light in air will again increase or will be equivalent to the earlier speed when it was entering the glass block.

Finally

Speed is same as that before it entered glass as it in the same medium (air).

Calculate the heat flux (in W/m^2) through a sheet of a metal 14 mm thick if the temperatures at the two faces are 350 and 140°C

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate of conductive heat transfer in watts is:

q = (k/s) A ΔT

where k is the heat conductivity, s is the thickness, A is the area, and ΔT is the temperature difference.

a)

Given k = 52.4 W/m/K, s = 0.014 m, and ΔT = 350-140 = 210 K, we can find q/A:

q/A = (52.4 / 0.014) (210)

q/A = 786,000 W/m²

b)

Given that A = 0.42 m², we can find q:

q = (0.42 m²) (786,000 W/m²)

q = 330,120 W

A watt is a Joule per second. Convert to Joules per hour:

q = 330,120 J/s * 3600 s/hr

q = 1.19×10⁹ J/hr

c)

If we change k to 1.8 W/m/K:

q = (k/s) A ΔT

q = (1.8 / 0.014) (0.42) (210)

q = 11,340 J/s

q = 4.08×10⁷ J/hr

d)

If k is 52.4 W/m/K and s is 0.024 m:

q = (k/s) A ΔT

q = (52.4 / 0.024) (0.42) (210)

q = 192,570 J/s

q = 6.93×10⁸ J/hr

Elaborate on the classification of aluminum. A) Aluminum is a noble gas and has a full valence electron shell, is chemically non

scZoUnD [109]

The correct option is (B) Aluminum is a metal and is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.

Since Aluminium is in group 13, and all the elements in group 13 are either metals or metalloids(Boron). Hence we are left with option (B) and (D). Boron is the only metalloid in group 13 and aluminium is a metal(not a metalloid); therefore, we are left with only one option which is Option (B). And Aluminium is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.

During a hurricane in 2008, the Westin Hotel in downtownNew Orleans suffered damage. Suppose a piece of glass dropped near the t

tangare [24]

Answer:

77.8 m/s, downward

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

Average speed = distance / time

Then:

(Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

Vf + Vi = 90.634 equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

Vf - Vi = 64.876 equation 2

Adding the two equations:

2Vf = 155.510

Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)
