Answer:

R=1923Ω

Explanation:

Resistivity(R) of copper wire at 20 degrees Celsius is 1.72x10^-8Ωm.

Coil length(L) of the wire=37.0m

Cross-sectional area of the conductor or wire (A) = πr^2

A= π * (2.053/1000)/2=3.31*10^-6

To calculate for the resistance (R):

R=ρ*L/A

R=(1.72*10^8)*(37.0)/(3.31*10^-6)

R=1922.65Ω

Approximately, R=1923Ω

(35-39) A student travels on a school bus in the middle of winter from home to school. The school bus temperature is 68.0° F. Th

Answer:

The net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20-min ride to school is 139.164 BTU.

Explanation:

From Heat Transfer we determine that heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in BTU per hour, is represented by this formula:

$\dot Q = \epsilon\cdot A\cdot \sigma \cdot (T_{s}^{4}-T_{b}^{4})$ (1)

Where:

$\epsilon$ - Emissivity, dimensionless.

$A$ - Surface area of the student, measured in square feet.

$\sigma$ - Stefan-Boltzmann constant, measured in BTU per hour-square feet-quartic Rankine.

$T_{s}$ - Temperature of the student, measured in Rankine.

$T_{b}$ - Temperature of the bus, measured in Rankine.

If we know that $\epsilon = 0.90$ , $A = 16.188\,ft^{2}$ , $\sigma = 1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}}$ , $T_{s} = 554.07\,R$ and $T_{b} = 527.67\,R$ , then the heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation is:

$\dot Q = (0.90)\cdot (16.188\,ft^{2})\cdot \left(1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}} \right)\cdot [(554.07\,R)^{4}-(527.67\,R)^{4}]$

$\dot Q = 417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h}$

Under the consideration of steady heat transfer we find that the net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20 min-ride to school is:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (2)

Where $\Delta t$ is the heat transfer time, measured in hours.

If we know that $\dot Q = 417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h}$ and $\Delta t = \frac{1}{3}\,h$ , then the net energy transfer is:

$Q = \left(417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\,h \right)$

$Q = 139.164\,BTU$

The net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20-min ride to school is 139.164 BTU.

Why might construction crews want to install pipes before the foundation is poured

Crazy boy [7]

The answer is choice C

Explanation:

As during construction ,the site is cleared for all debris before laying out the foundation. Even the sewer lines are dug out .

So it will be useful for the construction crews to connect the pipes to the sewer lines before the foundation is poured.

But usually the steps take in construction activity is:- first the site is cleared for the foundation to be poured and once the foundation wall is set , then all utilities , including plumbing and electrical activities are done.,

After this process is over, the city inspector comes to check whether the foundation has been laid down as per the code of construction.

Only after that the rest of the construction activity follows through.

What does this middle button on the middle of my Chevrolet equinox steering wheel mean?

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Depending on how new your vehicle is, to me it looks like some sort of turn on button for forward collision safety feature, but i'm not an expert with this particular vehicle. If you want a better answer, I strongly suggest looking at the owner's manual under which should be located in the front dash compartment on the passengers side. Once you have the manual, look in the appendix until you find controls (or something similar) then go to that page and read about your vehicles control buttons. Your answer should be in the manual.

Something that all automobile owners should do right after purchasing a new vehicle, is reading the owners manual. As boring as it may seem, reading the owner's manual will help you get used to your new car quicker and give you instructions on how to take care of your car so that it lasts.

Have a great day, and I wish you safe traveling for now and forever! :)
