Model the concrete slab as being surrounded on both sides (contact area 24 m2) with a 2.1-m-thick layer of air in contact with a

surface that is 5.0 ∘C cooler than the concrete. At sunset, what is the rate at which the concrete loses thermal energy by conduction through the air layer?

Answer:

\dot{Q} =1.5\ W

Explanation:

Given that:

  • area of concrete slab, A=24\ m^2
  • thickness of the layer of air, dx=2.1\ m
  • temperature difference between the air and the concrete, dT=5\ K (\rm difference\ will\ be\ same\ in\ K\ and\ ^{\circ}C)

We have:

  • thermal conductivity of air at S.T.P., k=26.24 \times 10^{-3}\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}

<u>Now, according to Fourier's Law of conduction:</u>

\dot{Q} =k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}

putting the respective values:

\dot{Q} =26.24 \times 10^{-3}\times 24\times \frac{5}{2.1}

\dot{Q} =1.5\ W

29.213 cm3


First, calculate the mass of the water used. You do this by subtracting the original mass of the flask from the combined mass of the water and flask, giving:60.735 g - 31.601 g = 29.134 g
So we now know we have 29.134 g of water. To calculate the volume of the flask, simply divide by the density of the water, giving:29.134 g / (0.9973 g/cm3) = 29.213 cm3

A 06-C charge and a .07-C charge are apart at 3 m apart. What force attracts them?
Andru [333]

Answer:

F = 37.8 × 10^(6) N

Explanation:

The charges are 0.06 C and 0.07 C.

Thus;

Charge 1; q1 = 0.06 C

Charge 2; q2 = 0.07 C

Distance between them; r = 3 m

Formula for the force in between them is;

F = kq1•q2/r²

Where k is a constant = 9 × 10^(9) N.m²/C²

Thus;

F = (9 × 10^(9) × 0.06 × 0.07)/3²

F = 37.8 × 10^(6) N

How are astronomers able to observe and study black holes?
Ber [7]
     Although scientists can't detect or observe black holes with telescopes that detect x-rays, light, or other many other different forms of electromagnetic radiation and waves. But they can detect and study them by the effect of matter near it. If a black hole passes through a cloud of interstellar matter, it will draw matter inward (this process is known as accretion). A similar process occurs when a star passes through a black hole. When this happens, a star can break apart as it pulls it self toward it. As the attracted matter accelerates and starts heating up, it emits x-rays that are radiate into space. 
     Recent studies do show that black do have a very big influence towards neighborhoods around it. The black hole emits gamma ray bursts, devouring nearby stars, and spurring the growth of new stars in some areas while stalling it in others.

Juan is standing on the street. An ambulance moves toward him and then passes by. What best describes the pitch that Juan hears?
ozzi

Answer: The correct answer is "the pitch drops to a lower pitch once the ambulance passes by Juan".

Explanation:

Doppler effect is the phenomenon in which there is an increase or decrease in the frequency when there is relative motion between the source and listener.

Pitch depends on the frequency. if the frequency increases then pitch increases.

When the source and the listener are moving towards each other then there is increase in the frequency. When the source and the listener are moving away each other then there is decrease in the frequency.

In the given problem, Juan is standing on the street. An ambulance moves toward him and then passes by the pitch drops to a lower pitch once the ambulance passes by Juan.
