A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be airconditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity

. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 kJ/h. There are 10 lightbulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.

Answer:

About 2 units.

Explanation:

We assume that there is no heat dissipating instrument in the room

Total cooling load of the room is defined from the given below equation

$Q_{cooling}$ = $Q_{light}$ + $Q_{people}$ + $Q_{heat gain}$

where

$Q_{light}$ = 10*100 W =1 KW

$Q_{people}$ = 40*360 KJ/h= 4 KW

$Q_{heat gain}$ =15000KJ/h= 4.17 KW

$Q_{cooling}$ = 1+4+4.17=9.17 KW

the number of air conditioner unit is = $\frac{9.17}{5}$ =1.83

which is approximately 2 units

A 0.12-kg metal rod carrying a current of current 4.1 A glides on two horizontal rails separation 6.3 m apart. If the coefficien

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The magnetic field is $B = 8.20 *10^{-3} \ T$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the metal rod is $m = 0.12 \ kg$

The current on the rod is $I = 4.1 \ A$

The distance of separation(equivalent to length of the rod ) is $L = 6.3 \ m$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_k = 0.18$

The kinetic frictional force is $F_k = 0.212 \ N$

The constant speed is $v = 5.1 \ m/s$

Generally the magnetic force on the rod is mathematically represented as

$F = B * I * L$

For the rod to move with a constant velocity the magnetic force must be equal to the kinetic frictional force so

$F_ k = B* I * L$

=> $B = \frac{F_k}{L * I }$

=> $B = \frac{0.212}{ 6.3 * 4.1 }$

=> $B = 8.20 *10^{-3} \ T$

A non-ideal 12.2 V battery is connected across a resistor R. The internal resistance of the battery is 1.9Ohm. Calculate the pot

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

R=100 Ohm, V=11.97 volts and I=0.12 amperes

R=10 Ohm, V=10.25 volts and I=1.20 amperes

R=2 Ohm, V=6.26 volts

Explanation:

The potential difference (voltage) of a battery with internal resistance is:

$V=\xi-Ir$ (1)

with $\xi$ the electromotive force (the voltage the batteries say to has) , I the current and r the internal resistance. By Ohm's law the current that passes through the resistor is:

$I=\frac{V}{R}$ (2)

using (2) on (1):

$V=\xi-\frac{V*r}{R}$

solving for V:

$V+\frac{V*r}{R}=\xi$

$V=\frac{\xi}{1+\frac{r}{R}}$ (3)

R=100 Ohm

$V=\frac{12.2}{1+\frac{1.9}{100}}=11.97 V$

R=10 Ohm

$V=\frac{12.2}{1+\frac{1.9}{10}}=10.25 V$

R=2 Ohm

$V=\frac{12.2}{1+\frac{1.9}{2}}=6.26 V$

Because we have now the values of I on the circuit (is the same through all the components because is a series circuit)

We use back substitution on (1) to find the current:

R=100 Ohm

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{11.97}{100}=0.12 A$

R=10 Ohm

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{11.97}{10}=1.20 A$

A mass is oscillating up and down on a spring. In the above graph of

melomori [17]

Answer:

<em>Amplitude= 8 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Amplitude of a Wave</u>

Sinusoidal Function refers to a mathematical curve with a smooth and periodic oscillation. Its name comes from the sine function and is characterized by the amplitude or the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body measured from its equilibrium position.

To calculate the amplitude from a graph, we measure the maximum point and the minimum point the wave reaches. Then we subtract both values and divide the result by 2.

The shown wave in the figure has a maximum value of 8 m and a minimum value of -8 m. The distance from the maximum to the minimum is 8-(-8)= 16 m, thus the amplitude is 16/2= 8m.

Amplitude= 8 m

In general, the time it takes from when in interstellar cloud fragment first begins collapsing until it gives birth to a main-se

erik [133]

Answer:

longer for less massive stars.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

Some of the examples of stars are Canopus, Sun (closest to the Earth), Betelgeus, Antares, Vega etc.

Generally, the time taken for the collapse of an interstellar cloud fragment to the period (time) when a main-sequence star is given birth to, is usually longer for less massive stars.

This ultimately implies that, stars that are not so massive or big in size are transformed from interstellar cloud fragment to a main-sequence star is lesser.

2. What is the magnitude of the force a 1.5 C charge exerts on a 3.2 C charge

lesya [120]

The magnitude of the force is F=1.68×10 ^20 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given data</u>

q1 =1.5 10 ^6 q2=3.2 10^6 r=1.5

<u>We have the formula</u>

By the coulomb's law

F= K. q1 ×q2 / r²

The K value is given by

8.99 10^9 Nm²/ c²

substitute the values we get,

F= ( 8.99× 10^9 Nm²/ c²) ×(<u>1.5 ×10 ^6</u>)×(<u>3.2 ×10 ^6</u>)/ (1.6 m² )

F=1.68×10 ^20 N

The magnitude of the force is F=1.68×10 ^20 N
