Answer:

c. expanded polyurethane

Explanation:

Thermal performance of a building fabric is measured in terms of heat loss and is expressed as U-value or R-value. U-value is the rate of heat transferred through a structure divided by the difference in temperature across the structure with a unit of measurement of W/m²K.You can calculate the U-value of a by getting the reciprocal of the sum of thermal resistances , R, making the building material.

If you have the value of R, then U=1/R

Material                         size            R                      U

plywood                          1"              1.25                0.8

Poured concrete            2"              0.99               1.010

Expanded polyurethane  1"            6.5                   0.1538

Asbestos shingles            1"             0.03                33.33

The material with lowest U-value is expanded polyurethane

the net force on a vehicle is accelerating at a rate of 1.5 milliseconds is 1800 Newtons. What is the mass of the vehicles neare
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The mass is 1200 kilograms

Explanation:

Because Force is equal to mass times acceleration (F=m×a)

F=m×a

1800N=?×1.5

1800÷1.5=1200

1800N=1200Kg×1.5

Johnson is dragging a bag on a ice surface. He pulls on the strap with a force of 112 N at an angle of 45° to the horizontal to
Nady [450]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Force=F=112 N

\theta=45^{\circ}

Distance,s=84 m

Time, t=3.33 minutes

We have to find the work done by Johnson on the bag and the power generated by Johnson.

Work done, W=Fscos\theta

Using the formula

Work done, W=112\times 84cos45=6652.46 J

Power, P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{6652.46}{3.33\times 60}=33.3 watt

Using 1 minute=60 s

Hence, the power generated by Johnson=33.3 watt
