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

I think so it ans wold be d.because if the source approaches the observer more and more wavefront will pass and it get squeezed.so wavelength decreases and frequency increases.

What is specific heat? List the formula
sladkih [1.3K]

An example of a high specific heat is water’s specific heat, which requires 4.184 joules of heat to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. Scientifically, water’s specific heat is written as: 1 calorie/gm °C = 4.186 J/gm °C.

What is the wave speed of a wave that has a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 0.35 m?
azamat

Answer:

87.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by

v=\lambda f

where

v is the wave speed

\lambda is the wavelength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

f=250 Hz is the frequency

\lambda=0.35 m is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation, we find

v=(0.35 m)(250 Hz)=87.5 m/s

(20 points) You are at the center of a boat and have been rowing the boat for a long time. You weigh only 80 kg and your 120 kg
valina [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the first weight be m_ 1 = 80 kg

The weight of the buddy be m_2 = 120 kg

The weight of  Bubba be m_3 = 60 kg

Also, since you and Budda are a distance of 4m to each other, then the length to which both meet buddy will be:

x_1 = x_3 = \dfrac{4}{2} \\ \\ = 2

The length of the boat be x_2 = 4 m

∴

We can find the center of mass of the system by using the formula:

X_{CM} = \dfrac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2+m_3x_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{(80 \times 2)+(120\times4)+(60\times2)}{80+120+60} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{160+480+120}{260} \\ \\ \mathbf{X_{CM} = 2.923}
