A Universe Question!

What is the force that opposes the movement of an object through water??

anastassius [24]

In air, you'd call it air resistance, pilots call it drag. In water, some call it
water resistance, or just plain drag.

Whatever it's called, it's the friction between the object and the fluid, plus
the force needed to push the fluid out of the way to let the object get through.

Thermopane window is constructed, using two layers of glass 4.0 mm thick, separated by an air space of 5.0 mm.

Bond [772]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to rate of thermal conduction

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}$

The letter Q represents the amount of heat transferred in a time t, k is the thermal conductivity constant for the material, A is the cross sectional area of the material transferring heat, $\Delta T$ , T is the difference in temperature between one side of the material and the other, and d is the thickness of the material.

The change made between glass and air would be determined by:

$(\frac{Q}{t})_{glass} = (\frac{Q}{t})_{air}$

$k_{glass}(\frac{A}{L})_{glass} \Delta T_{glass} = k_{air}(A/L)_{air} \Delta T_{air}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{k_{glass}}{k_{air}})(\frac{L_{air}}{L_{glass}}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{0.84}{0.0234})(\frac{5}{4}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = 44.9 \Delta T_{glass}$

There are two layers of Glass and one layer of Air so the total temperature would be given as,

$\Delta T = \Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air} +\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T = 2\Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air}$

$20\°C = 46.9\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{glass} = 0.426\°C$

Finally the rate of heat flow through this windows is given as,

$\Delta {Q}{t} = k_{glass}\frac{A}{L_{glass}}\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 0.84*24*10 -3*0.426$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 179W$

Therefore the correct answer is D. 180W.

A student woke up in the morning and checked the rain gauge in her backyard. The rain gauge was empty, but the grass was moist.

A 2kg block of which material would require 450 joules of thermal energy to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius?

12345 [234]

The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is $0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by $\Delta T$ , according to the following equation :

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
