A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 3.1 cm thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation 2

.3 cm thick on the inside wall surface. The wood has k = 0.080W/(m⋅K), and the Styrofoam has k = 0.010 W/(m⋅K). The interior surface temperature is 19.0 ∘C, and the exterior surface temperature is -15.0 ∘C.A.)What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam?
B.)What is the rate of heat flow per square meter through this wall?

Answer: T = -0.213°c

Heat flow = 38.2 w/m²

Explanation:

given data:

Wood = 0.031m thick

Styrofoam = 0.023m thick

Wood = k ( 0.080W/m.k)

Styrofoam = k (0.010W/m.k)

Temperature of wood = -15°c

Temperature of styrofoam = 19°c

(a) heat flow in wood and styrofoam must be equal

KAdT/ L = KAdT/ L

0.080 * A * ( T - ( -15) ) / 0.031 = 0.010 * A * ( T - ( 19°c) ) / 0.023

T = -0.213°c

(b) heat flow

H = KAdT / L

H = 0.080 * A * ( -0.213°c - ( -15°c) ) / 0.031

= 38.2 w/m²

In the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 3.40 mm . what is the differenc
Strike441 [17]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

Given:  

diffraction grating slits = 900 slits per centimeter

interference pattern that is observed on a screen from the grating = 2.38m

maxima for two different wavelengths = 3.40mm

 

slit separation .. d = 1/900cm = 1.11^-3cm = 1.111^-5 m <span>

Whenas n = 1, maxima (grating equation) sinθ = λ/d 
Grant distance of each maxima from centre = y .. 
<span>As sinθ ≈ y/D  y/D = λ/d λ = yd / D </span>

∆λ = (λ2 - λ1) = y2.d/D - y1.d/D 
∆λ = (d/D) [y2 -y1] 

<span>∆λ = 1.111^-5m x [3.40^-3m] / 2.38m .. .. ►∆λ = 1.587^-8 m</span></span>

Why do you think this appeal system is necessary in the legal system?
MatroZZZ [7]

Appeal system enables the higher court to review the case once again. Possible situation for appeal arises when the defendant consider punishment very tough.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Appeal system is very important in the legal system. Appeal means a process which helps in reviewing the cases. In case of the appeal, a request is made to a higher court to look into the case once again.

This process helps those who feel that the earlier judgment in case of the case was not correct.

The Possible situation where someone needs to appeal is when the defendant is found guilty and we feel that the punishment given is very harsh. This is possible mostly in criminal cases.

If the density of a substance is 5g/cm3 and the volume is 10cm3,<br> determine the mass.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(5g/cm³)*(10cm³) = 50g

Explanation:

This is just a conversion formula. Easy to find using dimensional analysis.

(5g/cm³)*(10cm³) = 50g

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s

Distance=35 m

Time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving=\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground=v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s

Time=\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.
