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 gymnast dismounts off the uneven bars in a tuck position with a radius of 0.3m (assume she is a solid sphere) and an angular v
kifflom [539]

Here we will say that there is no external torque on the system so we will have

L_i = L_f

here we know that

L_i = I_1\omega_1

where we know that

I_1 = \frac{2}{5}mr^2

Also we know that

I_2 = \frac{1}{12}mL^2

initial angular speed will be

\omega_1 = 2\pi(2rev/s) = 4\pi rad/s

now from above equation

\frac{2}{5}mr^2 (4\pi) = \frac{1}{12}mL^2 \omega

0.4(0.3)^2(4\pi) = \frac{1}{12}(1.5)^2\omega

0.452 = 0.1875 \omega

now we have

\omega = 2.41 rad/s

so final speed will be 2.41 rad/s

A pickup truck is being driven down the highway carrying eight 100 gallon fish tank full of water. A hole is punctured in each t
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).

The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing  it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).

When you increase the temperature of an exothermic reaction the equilibrium will shift?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer : When we increase the temperature of an exothermic reaction the equilibrium will shift to the left direction i.e, towards the reactant.

Explanation :

Le-Chatelier's principle : This principle states that if any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

As the given reaction is an exothermic reaction in which the heat is released during a chemical reaction. That means the temperature is decreased on the reactant side.

For an exothermic reaction, heat is released during a chemical reaction and is written on the product side.

A\rightleftharpoons B+\text{ heat}

If the temperature is increases in the equilibrium then the equilibrium will shift in the direction where, temperature is getting decreased. Thus, the reaction will shift to the left direction i.e, towards the reactant.

Hence, when we increase the temperature of an exothermic reaction the equilibrium will shift to the left direction i.e, towards the reactant.
