Four power transistors, each dissipating 12 W, are mounted on a thin vertical aluminum plate 22 cm 3 22 cm in size. The heat gen

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The temperature of the Aluminium plate 44.84⁰C

Explanation:

Number of transistors = 4

Since the heat dissipated by each transistor is 12W

Total heat dissipated, Q = 4 * 12 = 48 W

Q = 48 W

Cross sectional Area of the Aluminium plate, A = 2(l * b)

l = Length of the aluminium plate = 22 cm = 0.22 m

b = width of the aluminium plate = 22 cm = 0.22 m

A =2( 0.22 * 0.22 )

A = 0.0968 m²

From the heat balance equation, Q = hAΔT

h = 25 W/m²·K

A = 0.0968 m²

ΔT = T - T(air)

T(air) = 25°C

ΔT = T - 25°C

Q = 25 * 0.0968 * ( T - 25)

Q = 2.42 (T - 25)

Substitute Q = 48 into the equation above

48 = 2.42 (T - 25)

T - 25 = 19.84

T = 25 + 19.84

T = 44.84 ⁰C

A ball is thrown straight upward and returns to the thrower’s hand after 1.8 s in the air. A second ball is thrown at an angle o

zysi [14]

Answer:

U = 9.1 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following

time (t) = 1.8 s

angle = 23 degrees

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

let us first calculate the initial velocity (u) which too the first ball to its maximum height from the equation below

v = u + 0.5at

The final velocity (v) is zero since the ball comes to rest

The time (t) it takes to get to the maximum height would be half the time it is in the air, t = 0.5 x 1.8 = 0.9

therefore

0 = u - (0.5 x 9.8 x 0.9)

u = 7.9 m/s

for the second ball to get to the maximum height of the first ball, the vertical component of its initial velocity (U) must be the same as the initial velocity of the first ball. therefore

U sin 60 = 7.9

U = 7.9 ÷ sin 60

U = 9.1 m/s

You have gas in a container with a movable piston. The walls of the container are thin enough so that its temperature stays the

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

New pressure of the gas increases by 26.5% with respect to initial pressure, new volume decreases 27% with respect to initial volume and new temperature decreases 8% with respect to initial volume.

Explanation:

If we assume the gas is a perfect gas we can use the perfect gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

For Isothermal process:

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$ (1)

Where subscripts 1 shows before the isothermal process and 2 after it, because isothermal means constant temperature T1=T2, and pressure increases by 10% means P2=1,1*P1, using these facts on (1) we have:

$V_{2}=\frac{V_{1}}{1.1}$ (2)

For Isobaric process:

$\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}=\frac{P_{3}V_{3}}{T_{3}}$ (3)

Where subscripts 2 shows before the isobaric process and 3 after it, because isobaric means constant pressure P2=P3, and volume decreases by 20% means V3=0.8*V2, using these facts on (3) we have:

$T_{3}=0.8T_{2}$ (4)

For Isochoric process:

$\frac{P_{3}V_{3}}{T_{3}}=\frac{P_{4}V_{4}}{T_{4}}$ (5)

Where subscripts 3 shows before the isochoric process and 4 after it, because isochoric means constant volume V3=V4, and temperature increases by 15% means T4=1.15*T3, using these facts on (5) we have:

$P_{4}=1.15P_{3}$ (6)

So now because P4=1.15*P3, P2=P3 and P2=1.1*P1:

$P_{4}=1.15*1.1P_{1}=1.265P1$

This is, the new pressure of the gas increases by 26.5% with respect to initial pressure.

Similarly, we have V3=V4, V3=0.8*V2 and V1=1,1*V2:

$V_{4}=\frac{0.8}{1.1}V_{1}=0.72V1$

so the final volume decreases 27% with respect to initial volume.

T4=1,15*T3, T3=0.8*T2 and T1=T2:

$T_{4}=1.15*0.8T_{1}=0.92T1$

The new temperature decreases 8% with respect to initial volume.

Compare and contrast how sound waves behave when they

Ghella [55]

Answer:

As sound waves move (or more accurately, when they travel by transferring their energy) they interact with physical objects. Soft surfaces will absorb sound while hard surfaces will reflect it. .Hard surfaces reflect sound and soft surfaces absorb sound.

The convex mirror has a reflecting surface that curves outward, resembling a portion of the exterior of a sphere. Light rays parallel to the optical axis are reflected from the surface in a direction that diverges from the focal point, which is behind the mirror

An object has rotational inertia I. The object,initially at rest, begins to rotate with a constant angularacceleration of magnit

Tresset [83]

Answer:

L = I α t

Explanation:

given,

rotational inertia = I

initial velocity = ω₀

magnitude of acceleration = α

angular momentum = L

time = t

angular acceleration

$\alpha = \dfrac{\omega-\omega_0}{t}$

$\alpha = \dfrac{\omega - 0}{t}$

$\alpha = \dfrac{\omega}{t}$

ω = α t..............(1)

angular momentum

L = I ω

putting value from equation (1)

L = I α t
