In an electrically heated home, the temperature of the ground in contact with a concrete basement wall is 10.7 °C. The temperatu

re at the inside surface of the wall is 23.9 °C. The wall is 0.15 m thick and has an area of 8.4 m2. Assume that one kilowatt · hour of electrical energy costs $0.12. How many hours are required for one dollar's worth of energy to be conducted through the wall?

Answer:

Fourier's laws

Explanation:

The problem can be solved if Fourier's laws for conductivity are applied as well,

q = k A \Delta T / s       (1)

where

A = heat transfer area (m2, ft2)

k = thermal conductivity of the material (W/m.K or W/m oC, Btu/(hr oF ft2/ft))

ΔT = temperature difference across the material (K or oC, oF)

s = material thickness (m, ft)

The thermal conductivity of concrete is k= 1.7

q = (1.7 W/moC) *( 8.4) *(23.9 - 10.7) / (0.15 m)

q= 1256.64 watts

Since

1 dollar = 5 Kilowatt hours or 5000 watthours so

Time for 1 dollar = 5000/1256.64 = 3.978 hours or  3 hours 58 minutes

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?
lukranit [14]

<u>Answer</u>:

Force is directly proportional to the  acceleration.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Using to the Newton's second law of motion,  we can describe the relationship of force and acceleration.

F = ma

Hence they are directly proportional to each other. If we increase the force in an object then the acceleration of the object will also increase by same. or we can say force is similar to acceleration. Newton's second law says that the acceleration of an object depends on two factor i.e. net force that is acting on object and object's mass.

The mass before a reaction is equal to the mass after a reaction? True or false?
diamong [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf True}}

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed.

So, in a chemical reaction, the mass before a reaction and after cannot be different. In other words, the mass of the products must be equal to the product of the reactants.

So, this is a <u>true statement.</u>

Answer:

b) field is zero,  c) the magnetic field does not change in intensity or direction

e) M = -H = Bo /μ₀ ,  g)  M = 0

Explanation:

Part b

superconductors are formed by so-called Coper pairs that are electrons linked through a distortion in the network, this creates that they must be treated as an entity so we have an even number of charge carriers and the material must behave with diamagnetic , Meissner effect, consequently the magnetic field inside its superconductor is zero

the correct answer is Zero

Part c

 outside the superconducting cylinder the magnetic field does not change in intensity or direction

Part E

Magnetization is defined by the equation

       B = μ₀ (H + M)

with field B it is zero inside the superconductors

        M = -H = Bo /μ₀

         

where Bo is the magnetic induction in the normal state

Part g

 As outside the cylinder there is no material zero magnetization

        M = 0

If a solution is forced to dissolve more solute than it normally can dissolve, the solution is
olganol [36]
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or mores substances at molecular level mainly solute and solvents. A solution may be saturated, supersaturated or unsaturated. A saturated solution is when the solution has dissolved the maximum solute at a given temperature, unsaturated solution is a solution which can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature to achieve saturation. In this case, if a solution is forced to dissolve more solute than it normally can dissolve, the solution is supersaturated.
