A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 3.0 cm thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation 2

.4 cm thick on the inside wall surface. The wood has k=0.080W/(m?K), and the Styrofoam has k= 0.010 W/(m?K). The interior surface temperature is 20.0 ?C , and the exterior surface temperature is -13.0 ?C
A.) What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam? _______ Celsius
B.) What is the rate of heat flow per square meter through this wall? ______W/m^2

Answer:

A. T=15.54 °C

B. Q/A= 0.119 W/m2

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the Fourier's law for thermal conduction:

Q= kA\frac{dT}{dx}

Here, the rate of flow per square meter must be the same through the complete wall. Therefore, we can use it to find the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam as follows:

\frac{Q}{A} =\frac{T_1-T_0}{d_w}k_w=\frac{T_2-T_1}{d_s}k_s\\T_1(\frac{k_w}{d_w}+\frac{k_s}{d_s})=T_2\frac{k_s}{d_s}+T_0\frac{k_w}{d_w}\\T_1=\frac{T_2\frac{k_s}{d_s}+T_0\frac{k_w}{d_w}}{\frac{k_w}{d_w}+\frac{k_s}{d_s}}\\T_1= 15.54 \°C

Then, to find the rate of heat flow per square meter, we have:

\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{T_1-T_0}{d_w}k_w=0.119 \frac{W}{m^2}\\\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{T_2-T_1}{d_s}k_s= 0.119 \frac{W}{m^2}

T_0: Temperature \ in \ the \ house\\T_1: Temperature \ at \ the \ plane \ between \ wood \ and \ styrofoam\\T_2: Temperature \ outside\\k_w: k \ for \ wood\\d_w: wood \ thickness\\k_s: k \ for \ styrofoam\\d_s: styrofoam \ thickness

A professor drives off with his car (mass 870 kg), but forgot to take his coffee mug (mass 0.47 kg) off the roof. The coefficien
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:6.86 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mas of car=870 kg

coffee mug mass=0.47 kg

coefficient of static friction between mug and roof \mu _s= 0.7

Coefficient of kinetic Friction \mu _k=0.5

maximum car acceleration is \mu \times g

here coefficient of static friction comes in to action because mug is placed over car . If mug is moving relative to car then \mu _k is come into effect

a_{max}=0.7\times 9.8=6.86 m/s^2

Astronauts use a centrifuge to simulate the acceleration of a rocket launch. The centrifuge takes 40.0 s to speed up from rest t
Vinvika [58]

Answer

Time period T = 1.50 s

time t = 40 s

r = 6.2 m

a)

Angular speed ω = 2π/T

                              = \dfrac{2\pi }{1.5}  

                              = 4.189 rad/s

Angular acceleration α = \dfrac{\omega}{t}

                                      = \dfrac{4.189}{40}

                                      = 0.105 rad/s²

Tangential acceleration a = r α = 6.2 x 0.105 = 0.651 m/s²

b)The maximum speed.

       v = 2πr/T

          = \dfrac{2\pi \times 6.2}{1.5}

          = 25.97 m/s

So centripetal acceleration.

        a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}

          = \dfrac{25.97^2}{6.2}

          =  108.781 m/s^2

          = 11.1 g    

in combination with the gravitation acceleration.

a_{total} = \sqrt{(11.1g)^2+g^2}

a_{total}= 11.145 g

Define and Explain the Sovereignty
GarryVolchara [31]

Sovereignty is a political concept that refers to dominant power or supreme authority.

Explanation:

Sovereignty is an attribute of states that is both an idea and a reality of state power. It is one of the means, an important one, by which the government of a state seeks to ensure the best it possibly can for its people. As such, it also changes over time.
