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 Hoover dam is a hydroelectric power plant that converts the energy of falling water into electricity. Which of the following
vlabodo [156]

The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

 Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.

A baby is dropped from a 30 m cliff on Earth. Acceleration due to gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s^2. Calculate the following q
Katarina [22]

Answer:Dropping is not a good predictor of when labor will begin. In first-time mothers, dropping usually occurs 2 to 4 weeks before delivery, but it can happen earlier. In women who have already had children, the baby may not drop until labor begins.

The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

   (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m

Explanation:

The pressure depends on the height with the formula

          P = P_atm + rho g h

Let's apply this expression for the building

         P₁ = P_atm + rho_air g h₁

        P₂ = P_atm + rho_air g h₂

Subtract

        P₁ - P₂ = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

         

         

The measured pressure is in mm Hg to take this unit to units of pressure must be multiplied by the density of mercury and the acceleration of gravity

           P₁- P₂ = rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg

         rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

          (h₁ –h₂) = rho_Hg / rho_air (h₁-h₂) _ Hg

Let's calculate

         (h₁-h₂) = 13600 / 1.18 (695-675)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm

Let's reduce to meter

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm (1 m / 10³ mm)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m
