In a certain experiment, cylindrical samples of diameter 4 cm and length 7 cm are used. The two thermocouples in each sample are

placed 0.12 m apart. After initial transients, the electric heater is observed to draw 0.6 A at 110 V, and both differential thermometers read a temperature difference of 8°C. Determine the thermal conductivity of the sample. The thermal conductivity of the sample is:

Answer:

K = .3941 × 10³ W/m.K

Explanation:

Qcond = K A ΔT÷ L

∴K = Qcond ×L ÷ A ΔT

J ÷ S = P

P = I × V =Qcond

∴Qcond = I × V

               = 0.6 A × 110 V

               =66 W

L = 0.12 m

ΔT = 8 °C

Qcond =33 V

Area = (πD²) ÷ 4

       = [π (4 × 10⁻² )²] ÷  4

        = 1.256 × 10⁻³ m²

∴A = 1.256 × 10 ⁻³³ m²

So K = ( Qcond × L ) ÷ A ΔT

         = (33) (0.12 ) ÷ (1.256 ×10⁻³ ) × 8

         = 0.3941 × 10³ W/m .K

A wave is turned back when it meets the boundary of the medium in which it is traveling. The wave is said to have undergone
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The wave is said to have undergone reflection.

Explanation:

When a wave traveling through a medium meets the boundary of that medium, it gets bounced back and returns into the medium in which it is traveling. This behavior of the wave that causes a change in the direction of the wave is known as reflection. Examples of reflection include the reflection of sound waves, light waves, water waves, etc.

According to the law of reflection, the angle at which the waves approach the barrier (or an interface between two mediums) equals the angle at which they reflect off the barrier (or an interface between two mediums).

Refraction of waves is referred to the change in the direction of waves or bending of the path of the waves when they pass from one medium to another which is accompanied by a change in wavelength and speed of the waves.

Diffraction of waves is referred to the change in the direction of waves when they move around a barrier in their path or pass through an opening.  Interference occurs when two waves traveling through the same medium superpose to form a wave having the same or lower or greater amplitude.

Tides occur in oceans but not in lakes why?​
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Tides occur mainly in oceans because that is basically one huge body of water that is free to move all over the earth. Lakes and rivers do not cover enough area to have their water be moved significantly by gravity, or in other words, to have tides.

In getting ready to slam-dunk the ball, a basketball player starts from rest and sprints to a speed of 4.82 m/s in 1.98 s. Assu
Ann [662]
Great equation: distance = rate*time

So, distance run = 4.82 meters/second * 1.98 seconds = 9.5436 meters (round according to whatever the problem specifies, usually to the tenths or hundredths is sufficient).

This makes sense if you think about it since you are multiplying seconds with meters over seconds. The seconds cancel out, leaving you only the meters.
