Answer:

By insulating our homes, we reduce the demand for energy and burn less fuel, which helps combat climate change and protects the planet. Insulating the loft, walls and floor of your home is a great way to reduce energy bills every year from a one-off activity!

Explanation:

I really hope this helps! Stay safe! ✌

Water flows through a cast steel pipe (k = 50 W m.K, ε = 0.8) with an outer diameter of 104mm and 2 mm wall thickness. Calculate

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The heat loss per unit length is $\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The outer diameter of the pipe is $d = 104mm = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104 m$

The thickness is $D = 2mm = \frac{2}{1000} = 0.002m$

The temperature of water is $T = 90^oC = 90 + 273 = 363K$

The outside air temperature is $T_a = -10^oC = -10 +273 = 263K$

The water side heat transfer coefficient is $z_1 = 300 W/ m^2 \cdot K$

The heat transfer coefficient is $z_2 = 20 W/m^2 \cdot K$

The heat lost per unit length is mathematically represented as

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 \pi (T - Ta)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_1} + \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_2}}$

Substituting values

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 * 3.142 (363 - 263)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{300} + \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{20}}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{628}{0.2107}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

wo fixed charges, A and B are located at x axis. A is at x = 0 m, B is at x = 4 m. QA = +4.0 μC and QB = -5.0 μC. Calculate the

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

10250 N/C leftwards

Explanation:

QA = 4 micro Coulomb

QB = - 5 micro Coulomb

AP = 6 m

BP = 2 m

A is origin, B is at 4 m and P is at 6 m .

The electric field due to charge QA at P is EA rightwards

$E_{A}=\frac{KQ_{A}}{AP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times4\times10^{-6}}{6^{2}}=1000 N/C (rightwards)$

The electric field due to charge QB at P is EB leftwards

$E_{B}=\frac{KQ_{B}}{BP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times10^{-6}}{2^{2}}=11250 N/C (leftwards)$

The resultant electric field at P due the charges is given by

E = EB - EA

E = 11250 - 1000 = 10250 N/C leftwards

A firecracker breaks up into two pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0 m/

larisa [96]

Answer:

Total momentum, p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first piece, $m_1=200\ g= 0.2\ kg$

Mass of the second piece, $m_2=300\ g= 0.3\ kg$

Speed of the first piece, $v_1=82\ m/s$ (along x axis)

Speed of the second piece, $v_2=45\ m/s$ (along y axis)

To find,

The total momentum of the two pieces.

Solve,

The total momentum of two pieces is equal to the sum of momentum along x axis and along y axis.

$p_x=m_1v_1$

$p_x=0.2\ kg\times 82\ m/s$

$p_x=16.4\ kg-m/s$

$p_y=m_2v_2$

$p_y=0.3\ kg\times 45\ m/s$

$p_y=13.5\ kg-m/s$

The net momentum is given by :

$p=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}$

$p=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}$

p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Therefore, the total momentum of the two pieces is 21.24 kg-m/s.

Find the energy in joules required to lift a 55.0 megagram object a distance of 500cm

pantera1 [17]

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
so 55 megagrams = 55,000 kilograms

100 cm = 1 meter
so 500 cm = 5 meters

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

========================================

Work = increase in potential energy =

   (weight) x (height) =

   (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

   (55,000 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m) =

   2,695,000 joules .
