During 4 hours one winter afternoon, when the outside temperature was 11° C, a house heated by electricity was kept at 24° C wit

h the expenditure of 58 kwh (kilowatt·hours) of electric energy.
(a) What was the average energy leakage in joules per second (watts) through the walls of the house to the environment (the outside air and ground)?

(b) The rate at which energy is transferred between two systems due to a temperature difference is often proportional to their temperature difference. Assuming this to hold in this case, if the house temperature had been kept at 27° C (80.6° F), how many kwh of electricity would have been consumed?

Answer:

a. The average energy leakage in joules per second (watts) = 14500J/s

b. The number of kwh of electricity would have been consumed = 62.25kwh

Explanation:

a.

Given that the house maintains a constant temperature.

The meaning of this is that all energy entering the house must be leaked through the walls of the house because if it didn't leak through the walls, some energy will be stored in the house and this will increase the temperature of the house.

The relationship between the above is

P = E/t

Where E = 58kwh

And t = 4 hours

P = 58/4

P = 14.5

P = 14.5 * 1000J/s

P = 14500J/s

b.

Given that the rate at which energy is transferred between two systems due to a temperature difference is often proportional to their temperature difference.

This can be represented as follows;

P = k∆T --- make I the subject of formula

k = P/∆T

k = P1/∆T1 = P2/∆T2

Make P2 the subject of formula

P2 = (P1 * ∆T2)/∆T1

Where P1 = 14500J/s

∆T2 = 27 - 0 = 27°C

∆T1 = 24 - 0 = 24°C

So,

P2 = 14500 * 27 / 24

P2 = 16,312.5J/s

The number of kwh of electricity would have been consumed = 16,312.5 * 4

The number of kwh of electricity would have been consumed = 65,250Wh

The number of kwh of electricity would have been consumed = 62.25kwh

How does the configuration of the electric field occur between a "parallel plate" setup in a lab?What is the effect of conductor
sleet_krkn [62]

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is given by

E = -ΔV/d

minus sign indicates Potential decreases in the direction of electric field

where

ΔV is the potential difference between the plates

D is the distance between the plates.

The work done when carrying an electrical charge on an equipotential surface between one position to the other is zero W= q(V-V)=0 The electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to an equipotential surface.  That conductor in an equipotential surface as direction E is at right angles to an eauipotential surface The intensity of the electric field along an equipotential surface is always zero. Equipotential surfaces never collide with each other as this would mean that at that point, there are two alternative values that are not true.

A force (5ỉ - ;)N moves an object from the point P (1,3) m to the point Q (3, 8) m.
natita [175]

Answer:

b) 5 J

Explanation:

Work is the energy transferred by an object when acted by a force along a displacement. Work is the product of force and displacement. The SI unit of work is the joules (J)

To calculate the work done by the force, we have to first get the displacement (D) of the object. Hence:

Displacement (D) = Q(3, 8) - P(1, 3) = (3 - 1, 8 - 3) = (2, 5) = 2i + 5j

The work done is the dot product of the force and the displacement. Force = 5i - j. Hence:

Work done = (5i - j)(2i + 5j) = 10 - 5 = 5 J
