Answer:

650.65 K or 377.5°C

Explanation:

Area = A = 10 m²

Thickness of wall = L = 2.5 cm = 2.5×10⁻² m

Inner surface temperature of wall = $T_i$ = 415°C = 688.15 K

Outer surface temperature of wall = $T_o$

Heat loss through the wall = 3 kW = 3×10³ W

Thermal conductivity of wall = k = 0.2 W/m K

Assumptions made here as follows

There is not heat generation in the wall itself
The heat conduction is one dimensional
Heat flow follows steady state
The material has same properties in all directions i.e., it is homogeneous.

Considering the above assumptions we use the following formula

$Q=\frac {T_i-T_o}{\frac{L}{kA}}\\\Rightarrow T_o=T_i-\frac {QL}{kA}\\\Rightarrow T_o=688.15-\frac {3\times 10^{3}\times 2.5\times 10^{-2}}{0.2\times 10}\\\Rightarrow T_o=650.65~K$

∴ The temperature of the outer surface of the wall is 650.65 K or 377.5°C

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

mass of the fish is 8.11 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of oscillation of spring block system is given as

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

here we know that the reading of scale varies from 0 to 155 N from length varies from x = 0 to x = 10 cm

Now we have

$k = \frac{155}{0.10} N/m$

$k = 1550 N/m$

so now we have

$2.20 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1550}{m}}$

$m = 8.11 kg$

so mass of the fish is 8.11 kg

A 0.40 kg mass hangs on a spring with a spring constant of 12 N/m. The system oscillated with a constant amplitude of 12 cm. Wha

Answer:

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

Explanation:

The motion of the mass-spring system is represented by the following formula:

$x(t) = A\cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t + \phi)$

Where:

$x(t)$ - Position of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position, measured in centimeters.

$A$ - Amplitude of the mass-spring system, measured in centimeters.

$\omega$ - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$\phi$ - Phase, measured in radians.

The acceleration experimented by the mass is obtained by deriving the position equation twice:

$a (t) = -\omega^{2}\cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega\cdot t + \phi)$

Where the maximum acceleration of the system is represented by $\omega^{2}\cdot A$ .

The natural frequency of the mass-spring system is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

Where:

$k$ - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

If $k = 12\,\frac{N}{m}$ and $m = 0.40\,kg$ , the natural frequency is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{12\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.40\,kg} }$

$\omega \approx 5.477\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Lastly, the maximum acceleration of the system is:

$a_{max} = \left(5.477\,\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\cdot (12\,cm)$

$a_{max} = 359.970\,\frac{cm}{s^{2}}$

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

Mary was looking out of the window she saw lightening and then heard thunder a few seconds later explain why she saw lightening

alekssr [168]

Explanation:

It is based upon the fact that " The light travels faster then sound." As the speed of light is faster then the speed of sound, light travels 300,000 km per second and sound travels 1192 km per hour. That is why we observe the lightening first and hear the the sound of thunder later.

You can do this experiment by yourself. Once you see the lightening start counting the seconds until you hear the sound of thunder.Then divide the seconds by 5, you will find out how many miles away the lightening strike was.
