Answer:

v = -10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of asteroid,v' = 100 m/s

mass of superman = m

mass of asteroid,M = 1000 m

recoil velocity of superman,v= ?

using conservation of momentum.

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

initial velocity of asteroid and superman is equal to  zero

 0 + 0 = m v + 1000 m x 100

m v = -100000 m

    v = -10⁵ m/s

superman's velocity after throwing the asteroid is equal to v = -10⁵ m/s

The kinetic energy K = 0.5 * m * v² must be equal to the potential energy U = m * g * h.

m mass
v velocity
h height
g = 9.81m/s²

The mass m cancels out:
0.5 * v² = g * h
Solve for height h and transform to distance traveled.
(sin (4°) = height / distance)

A one-dimensional plane wall of thickness 2l= 100 mm experiences uniform thermal energy generation of q˙= 800 w/m3 and is convec
slega [8]

Answer:

The thermal conductivity of the wall = 40W/m.C

h = 10 W/m^2.C

Explanation:

The heat conduction equation is given by:

d^2T/ dx^2 + egen/ K = 0

The thermal conductivity of the wall can be calculated using:

K = egen/ 2a = 800/2×10

K = 800/20 = 40W/m.C

Applying energy balance at the wall surface

"qL = "qconv

-K = (dT/dx)L = h (TL - Tinfinity)

The convention heat transfer coefficient will be:

h = -k × (-2aL)/ (TL - Tinfinty)

h = ( 2× 40 × 10 × 0.05) / (30-26)

h = 40/4 = 10W/m^2.C

From the given temperature distribution

t(x) = 10 (L^2-X^2) + 30 = 30°

T(L) = ( L^2- L^2) + 30 = 30°

dT/ dx = -2aL

d^2T/ dx^2 = - 2a
