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

A wave with a period of 0.008 second has a frequency of?
tatyana61 [14]
The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds. 
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz

The free-fall acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s^2. What length of pendulum has a period of 1.0 s on Earth? What length of pendulum
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Free fall acceleration on mars g_{m}=3.7\ m/s^2

Time Period of pendulum on earth T=1\ s

Time period of Pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

for earth

1=2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}

L=\frac{9.8}{(2\pi )^2}

L=0.498\ m

(b)For same time period on mars length is given by

L'=\frac{g_m}{(2\pi )^2}

L'=\frac{3.7}{39.48}

L'=0.0936\ m

L'=9.36\ cm

A 3.00 kg cart on a frictionless track is pulled by a string so that it accelerates at 2.00 m/s/s. what is the tension in the st
AnnZ [28]
Maybe the picture helps. The blue block represents the cart with a mass of 3 kg. The person(black block) is pulling the cart to the right with a force F so that the acceleration a is 2 m/s². According to Newton's 2nd law: F = m*a.
