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

aliina [53]

Answer:

15 miles

Explanation:

6 miles per hour

2 1/2 hours

6 x 2 = 12

6 x 1/2 = 3

12 + 3 = 15

What will happen if a car experiences a 300 N force to the right from the engine and a separate 150 N force due to friction and
gayaneshka [121]

Force applied on the car due to engine is given as

F_1 = 300 N towards right

Also there is a force on the car towards left due to air drag

F_2 = 150 N towards left

now the net force on the car will be given as

\vec F_{net} = \vec F_1 + \vec F_2

now we can say that since the two forces are here opposite in direction so here the vector sum of two forces will be the algebraic difference of the two forces.

So we can say

F_{net} = F_1 - F_2

F_{net} = 300 - 150

F_[net} = 150 N

So here net force on the car will be 150 N towards right and hence it will accelerate due to same force.

Question 23
bonufazy [111]

If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

с  Stay the same

Explanation:

  • The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
  • Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
  • Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
  • The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are  force and mass.
  • Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.
