A hotel elevator ascends 200m with maximum speed of 5m/s. Its acceleration and deceleration both have a magnitude of 1.0m/s2. Pa

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

45 s .

Explanation:

The accelerator will first accelerate , then move with uniform velocity and at last it will decelerate to rest .

displacement s = ?

acceleration a = 1 m /s²

Final speed v = 5 m/s

initial speed u = 0

v² = u² + 2as

5² = 0 + 2 x 1 x s

s = 12.5 m

B) Let time of acceleration or deceleration be t

v = u + a t

5 = 0 + 1 t

t = 5 s

Similarly displacement during deceleration = 12.5 m

Total distance during uniform motion = 200 - ( 12.5 + 12.5 ) = 175 m .

velocity of uniform motion = 5 m /s

time during which there was uniform velocity = 175 / 5 = 35 s

Total time = 5 + 35 + 5 = 45 s .

The heat flux for a given wall is in the x-direction and given as q^n = 11 W/m^2, the walls thermal conductivity is 1.7 W/mK and

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$\frac{dT}{dx} = 6.47 ^oC/m$

Also as we can see the equation that heat flux directly depends on the temperature gradient so more is the temperature gradient then more will be the heat flux.

For positive temperature gradient the heat will flow outwards while for negative temperature gradient the heat will flow inwards

Explanation:

As we know that heat flux is given by the formula

$q^n = K\frac{dT}{dx}$

here we know that

K = thermal conductivity

$\frac{dT}{dx}$ = temperature gradient

now we know that

$q^n = 11 W/m^2$

also we know that

K = 1.7 W/mK

now we have

$11 = 1.7 \frac{dT}{dx}$

so temperature gradient is given as

$\frac{dT}{dx} = \frac{11}{1.7} = 6.47 K/m$

also in other unit it will be same

$\frac{dT}{dx} = 6.47 ^oC/m$

Also as we can see the equation that heat flux directly depends on the temperature gradient so more is the temperature gradient then more will be the heat flux.

For positive temperature gradient the heat will flow outwards while for negative temperature gradient the heat will flow inwards
