Answer:

Q = 54.577\,MJ

Explanation:

The heat transfer through brick wall is:

\dot Q = \frac{k\cdot A}{L}\cdot \Delta T

\dot Q = \frac{\left(0.35\,\frac{W}{m\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (2.7\,m)\cdot (6\,m)}{0.16\,m} \cdot (31^{\circ}C - 8^{\circ}C)

\dot Q = 815.063\,W

The heat flow in a 18.6-h period is:

Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t

Q = (815.063\,W)\cdot (18.6\,h)\cdot \left(\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} \right)

Q = 54576618.48\,J

Q = 54.577\,MJ

Answer:

W = 54.6 MJ ... ( 3 sig fig )

Explanation:

Given:-

- The thermal conductivity of wall, k = 0.35 W/m°C

- The thickness of wall , L = 16 cm

- The surface dimension of wall A = ( 2.7 x 6 ) m

- The time duration t = 18.6 hours

- The inside temperature, Ti = 31°C

- The outside temperature, To = 8°C

Find:-

How much heat flows through the wall in a 18.6 h period

Solution:-

- The Fourier's law of heat conduction in ( one - dimension ) through any material with thermal conductivity "k" is represented by the rate of heat transfer in the direction of x.

                      Q= - k*A*\frac{dT}{dx}

- The fully derived expression for conduction heat transfer is given by:

                     Q = k*A*\frac{T_i - T_o}{L}

- Plug in the given values and compute the rate of heat transfer:

                    Q = 0.35*2.7*6*\frac{31 - 8}{0.16}\\\\Q = 5.67*\frac{23}{0.16}\\\\Q = 815.0625 W

- The heat energy that flows through the wall during time t = 18.6 hrs is given by W:

                   W = Q*t*3600 / 10^6

                   W = 815.0625*18.6*3600 / 10^6

                   W = 54576585 / 10^6 MJ

                   W = 54.6 MJ ... ( 3 sig fig )

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

1400 N

Explanation:

Change in momentum equals impulse which is a product of force and time

Change in momentum is given by m(v-u)

Equating this to impulse formula then

m(v-u)=Ft

Making F the subject of the formula then

F=\frac {m(v-u)}{t}

Take upward direction as positive then downwards is negative

Substituting m with 0.3 kg, v with 2 m/s, and u with -5 m/s and t with 0.0015 s then

F=\frac {0.3(2--5)}{0.0015}=1400N

Differentiate between sound waves and seismic waves?
algol13

The only real difference is that common seismic waves travel through the ground and sound waves travel through the air. If you had a pipe attached to granite and you were listening to it, you might detect both.

By calculating its wavelength (in nm), show that the second line in the Lyman series is UV radiation.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

 λ = 102.78  nm

This radiation is in the UV range,

Explanation:

Bohr's atomic model for the hydrogen atom states that the energy is

           E = - 13.606 / n²

where 13.606 eV   is the ground state energy and n is an integer

an atom transition is the jump of an electron from an initial state to a final state of lesser emergy

            ΔE = 13.606 (1 / n_{f}^{2} - 1 / n_{i}^{2})

the so-called Lyman series occurs when the final state nf = 1, so the second line occurs when ni = 3, let's calculate the energy of the emitted photon

            DE = 13.606 (1/1 - 1/3²)

            DE = 12.094 eV

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            DE = 12.094 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 ev) = 10.35 10⁻¹⁹ J

let's find the wavelength is this energy, let's use Planck's equation to find the frequency

            E = h f

             f = E / h

            f = 19.35 10⁻¹⁹ / 6.63 10⁻³⁴

            f = 2.9186 10¹⁵ Hz

now we can look up the wavelength

           c = λ f

           λ = c / f

           λ = 3 10⁸ / 2.9186 10¹⁵

           λ = 1.0278  10⁻⁷ m

let's reduce to nm

            λ = 102.78  nm

This radiation is in the UV range, which occurs for wavelengths less than 400 nm.
