Answer:

Explanation:

Metals are good conductor of electricity, because as per there structure they have free electrons which help them to move freely within the metal thus helps to maintain a good flow of electricity.

This theory has really helped engineers especially for making powerful batteries. As good batteries means amount of electricity drawn from it will be great and that too for longer time.

Hence such metals are used to make batteries that has more number of free electrons and thus can contribute to generate more electricity.

Good conductors can give us more electrical energy. Advanced batteries today use ion charges for the batteries.

The rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Considering first question

    Generally the coefficient of performance of the air condition  is mathematically represented as

   COP  =  \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}

Here T_i is the inside temperature

while  T_o is the outside temperature

What this coefficient of performance represent is the amount of heat the air condition can remove with 1 unit of electricity

So it implies that the air condition removes   \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i} heat with 1 unit of electricity

Now from the question we are told that the rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between inside and outside. This can be mathematically represented as

         Q \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)

=>        Q= k (T_o - T_i)

Here k is the constant of proportionality

So  

    since  1 unit of electricity  removes   \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}  amount of heat

   E  unit of electricity will remove  Q= k (T_o - T_i)

So

      E =  \frac{k(T_o - T_i)}{\frac{T_i}{ T_h - T_i} }

=>   E = \frac{k}{T_i} (T_o - T_i)^2

given that  \frac{k}{T_i} is constant

    =>  E \  \alpha  \  (T_o - T_i)^2

From this above equation we see that the  electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square of the temperature difference.

 Considering the  second question

Assuming that  T_i   =  30 ^oC

 and      T_o  =  40 ^oC

Hence  

     E = K (T_o - T_i)^2

Here K stand for a constant

So  

        E = K (40 -  30)^2

=>      E = 100K

Now if  the  T_i   =  20 ^oC

Then

       E = K (40 -  20)^2

=>      E = 400 \ K

So  from this see that the electricity require (cost of powering and operating the air conditioner)when the inside temperature is low  is  much higher than the electricity required when the inside temperature is higher

Considering the  third question

Now in the case where the  heat that enters the building is at a rate proportional to the square-root of the temperature difference between inside and outside

We have that

       Q = k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }

So

       E =  \frac{k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }}{\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i} }

=>   E =  \frac{k}{T_i} * (T_o - T_i) ^{\frac{3}{2} }

Assuming \frac{k}{T_i} is a constant

Then  

     E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^{\frac{3}{2} }

From this above equation we see that the  electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square root  of the cube of the  temperature difference.

A student stands on a scale, and the scale reads 85 N. What is being measured by the scale
Dmitry [639]

Force. Force is measured by newtons, probably because he came up with the equations to calculate force.

Hope this helps!

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

Explanation:

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed of the rock at 2m on the way down compare with its speed at 2m on the way up?

It decreases in speed on its way down and increases in speed on its way down.

it decreases in speed on its way up because the the vertical motion is against the earths gravitational pull on an object to the earth's center

.It increases in speed on his way down because its under the influence of gravity

from newton's equation of motion we can check by

using V^2=u^2+2as

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.
