(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through house walls that are 13.0 cm thick and that have an average thermal conductivi

ty twice that of glass wool. Assume there are no windows or doors. The surface area of the walls is 120 m2 and their inside surface is at 18.0 oC, while their outside surface is at 5.0 oC. (b) How many 1-kW room heaters would be needed to balance the heat transfer due to conduction

Answer:

a. 960 W b. One 1 kW room heater

Explanation:

a. The rate of heat conduction P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d where k = 2 × 0.040 W/m-K =  0.080 W/m-K since the thermal conductivity of glass wool is 0.040 W/m-K and that of the material is twice the thermal conductivity of glass wool, A = area of walls = 120 m², T₁ = outside surface temperature = 5.0 °C, T₂ = inside surface temperature = 18.0 °C and d = thickness of wall = 13.0 cm = 0.13 m

P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d

= 0.080 W/m-K × 120 m²(18.0 °C - 5.0 °C)/0.13 m

= 9.6 Wm/K × 13 K/0.13 m

= 124.8 Wm/0.13 m

= 960 W

b. The number of 1 kW room heater required will be

n = rate of heat conduction/power of one room heater = 960 W/ 1 kW = 960 W/1000 W = 0.96 ≅ 1

So we need only one 1 kW room heater.

Can someone please help me out with this quiz will give brainiest and thanks to people

Answer:

Energy transferred = 28.8 Joules.

1. Energy transferred = 144 Joules.

2. The unit of potential difference, volts can also be described as Joules per Coulombs.

3. Current, I = 6.945 Amperes.  

Explanation:

<u>Part A.</u>

Given the following data;

Current, I = 1.2A

Time, t = 2 minutes

Potential difference, V = 12 volts.

To find the energy transfered;

Energy transferred = charge moved * potential difference

E = Q * V

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Energy transferred = (1.2 * 2) * 12

Energy transferred = 2.4 * 12

Energy transferred = 28.8 Joules.

<u>Part B.</u>

1. <em><u>Given the following data;</u></em>

Charge, Q = 24C

Potential difference = 6V

To find the energy transferred;

E = Q * V

Substituting into the equation, we have;

E = 24 * 6

E = 144 Joules.

2. Since we know that, Energy transferred = charge moved * potential difference

Potential \; difference = \frac {Energy \; transferred}{Charged \; moved}

The units of energy is Joules while the unit of the quantity of charge moved is Coulomb.

Therefore, the unit of potential difference becomes Joules per Coulomb.

3. <em><u>Given the following data;</u></em>

Potential difference = 18V

Energy transferred = 500J

Time, t = 4 minutes.

To find the current;

E = Q * V

Substituting into the equation, we have;

500 = Q*18

Q = 500/18

Q = 27.78C

But, Charge moved (Q) = current (I) * time (t)

Current, I = Q/t

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Current, I = 27.78/4

Current, I = 6.945 Amperes..

How is light described?
Lelu [443]

Light as a wave: Light can be described (modeled) as an electromagnetic wave. ... This changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field and BOOM - you have light. Unlike many other waves (sound, water waves, waves in a football stadium), light does not need a medium to “wave” in.
