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

A flat uniform circular disk (r= 2.00m,
dusya [7]

Incomplete question.The Complete question is here

A flat uniform circular disk (radius = 2.00 m, mass = 1.00 ✕ 102 kg) is initially stationary. The disk is free to rotate in the horizontal plane about a friction less axis perpendicular to the center of the disk. A 40.0-kg person, standing 1.25 m from the axis, begins to run on the disk in a circular path and has a tangential speed of 2.00 m/s relative to the ground.

a.) Find the resulting angular speed of the disk (in rad/s) and describe the direction of the rotation.

b.) Determine the time it takes for a spot marking the starting point to pass again beneath the runner's feet.

Answer:

(a)ω = 1 rad/s

(b)t = 2.41 s

Explanation:

(a) initial angular momentum = final angular momentum  

0 = L for disk + L............... for runner

0 = Iω² - mv²r ...................they're opposite in direction

0 = (MR²/2)(ω²) - mv²r ................where is ω is angular speed which is required in part (a) of question

0 = [(1.00×10²kg)(2.00 m)² / 2](ω²) - (40.0 kg)(2.00 m/s)²(1.25 m)

0=200ω²-200

200=200ω²

ω = 1 rad/s

b.)

lets assume the "starting point" is a point marked on the disk.

The person's angular speed is  

v/r = (2.00 m/s) / (1.25 m) = 1.6 rad/s

As the person and the disk are moving in opposite directions, the person will run part of a revolution and the turning disk would complete the whole revolution.

(angle) + (angle disk turns) = 2π

(1.6 rad/s)(t) + ωt = 2π

t[1.6 rad/s + 1 rad/s] = 2π

t = 2.41 s

How do fossils provide evidence of continental drift?
Alex777 [14]
C explanation: There are many examples of fossils found on separate continents and nowhere else, suggesting the continents were once joined. If Continental Drift had not occurred, the alternative explanations would be: They swam to the other continent/s in breeding pairs to establish a second population. ...

You push on a cart (18.0kg) at a 30 degree below horizontal angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the
podryga [215]

Given that force is applied at an angle of 30 degree below the horizontal

So let say force applied if F

now its two components are given as

F_x = Fcos30


F_y = Fsin30


Now the normal force on the block is given as

N = Fsin30 + mg

N = 0.5F + (18\times 9.8)

N = 0.5F + 176.4

now the friction force on the cart is given as

F_f = \mu N

F_f = 0.625(0.5F + 176.4)

F_f = 110.25 + 0.3125F

now if cart moves with constant speed then net force on cart must be zero

so now we have

F_f + F_x = 0

Fcos30 - (110.25 + 0.3125F) = 0

0.866F - 0.3125F = 110.25

F = 199.2 N

so the force must be 199.2 N

The joule and the kilowatt-hour are both units of energy. 15 kw · h is equivalent to how many joules? answer in units of j.
choli [55]

The solution for the problem is:

1 Watt = 1 Joule per second 
1 Watt*second = 1 Joule 

a Kilowatt is 1,000 Watts 
an hour is 60 seconds times 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds 
a Kilowatt * hour is 1,000 Watts in 3,600 seconds 

15 W*h = 15,000 Watt*hour = 15,000 Watt * 3,600 seconds = 54,000,000 Watt*second 

54,000,000 Watt*second = ? Joules 
54,000,000 Joules / second = 54,000,000 Watts
