Answer:

6 N

Explanation:

\dfrac{m}{t} = Mass flow rate = 1 kg/s

v = Final velocity = 6 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Force is obtained when we divide change in momentum by time

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{m}{t}(v-u)\\\Rightarrow F=1(6-0)\\\Rightarrow F=6\ N

The force the person exert on the extinguisher in order to prevent it from accelerating is 6 N

A listener increases his distance from a sound source by a factor of 4.49.
noname [10]

Answer: Δβ (dB) = -13.1dB

Explanation:

The intensity of sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

I ∝ 1/r²

I₁/I₂= r₂²/r₁² .....1

When the listener increases his distance from the source by a factor of 4.49.

Then,

r₂/r₁= 4.49

From equation 1

I₁/I₂ = (4.49)²

I₁/I₂ = 20.16

I₂/I₁ = 1/20.16

The change in sound intensity in dB can be given as

Δβ (dB) = 10 log(I₂/l₁) = 10log(1/20.6) = -13.1dB

(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through house walls that are 13.0 cm thick and that have an average thermal conductivi
Mkey [24]

Answer:

a. 960 W b. One 1 kW room heater

Explanation:

a. The rate of heat conduction P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d where k = 2 × 0.040 W/m-K =  0.080 W/m-K since the thermal conductivity of glass wool is 0.040 W/m-K and that of the material is twice the thermal conductivity of glass wool, A = area of walls = 120 m², T₁ = outside surface temperature = 5.0 °C, T₂ = inside surface temperature = 18.0 °C and d = thickness of wall = 13.0 cm = 0.13 m

P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d

= 0.080 W/m-K × 120 m²(18.0 °C - 5.0 °C)/0.13 m

= 9.6 Wm/K × 13 K/0.13 m

= 124.8 Wm/0.13 m

= 960 W

b. The number of 1 kW room heater required will be

n = rate of heat conduction/power of one room heater = 960 W/ 1 kW = 960 W/1000 W = 0.96 ≅ 1

So we need only one 1 kW room heater.
