Complete question :

A 12 m x 15 m house is built on a 12-cm-thick concrete slab.

What is the heat-loss rate through the slab if the ground temperature is 5°C while the interior of the house is 25°C

Answer:

3kW

Explanation:

Given the following :

Dimension of house :

Length = 12m

Width = 15m

Thickness of concrete slab (t) = 12cm

t in metres :

100cm = 1m

12cm = (12/100)m

= 0.12m

Ground temperature (Tg) = 5°C

Interior temperature = (Th) = 25°C

Thermal conductivity of concrete (K) is approximately 1 Wm/k

Using the relation:

Q = KA * [ (Th - Tg) / d]

A = Length * width = (12 *15) = 180

Q = (1 * 180) * [(25°C - 5°C) / 0.12]

Q = 180 * (20/0.12)

Q = 180 * 16.6666

Q = 3,000W = 3kW

Which of the following changes would increase the force between two
Tomtit [17]

The answer is A. Decreasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 3.

The Universal Law of Gravitation is :

F = Gm₁m₂ / r² (where 'r' is the distance between them)

Since force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, distance has to be decreased by a factor of 3 to increase the force to 9 times the original force.

A woman exerts a horizontal force of 4 pounds on a box as she pushes it up a ramp that is 10 feet long and inclined at an angle
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Explanation:

given,

Horizontal force = 4 lb

distance of push, d = 10 ft

angle of ramp, θ = 30°

Work done on the box = ?

We know,

W = F.d cos θ

W = 4 x 10 x cos 30°

W = 40 x 0.8660

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Hence, work done on the box is equal to W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Positive ions have blank protons than electrons
grandymaker [24]
Postitive ions have more protons than electrons, because protons are positively charged. Electrons have a negative charge, so if there were less protons than electrons the job would be negative. If there were the same amount of both, then the positive and negative charges balance each other out, making a neutral charge.

PLEASE HELP!! At what temperature will silver have a resistivity that is four times the resistivity of tungsten at room temperat
Svetach [21]
Consider 20 deg.C. as room temperature.

From tables,
Silver has a resistivity of  1.6*10^-8 ohm-m at 20 deg.C, and it increases by 0.0038 ohm-m per deg.K increase.
Therefore if the temperature rise above 20 deg.C is T, then silver will have resistivity of
1.6*10^-8(1 + 0.0038T) ohm-m

At room temperature, the resistivity of tungsten (from tables) is 5.6*10^-8.

The resistivity of silver will be 4 times that of tungsten (at room temperature) when
1.6*10^-8(1 + 0.0038T) = 4*5.6*10^-8
1 + 0.0038T = 14
T = 13/.0038 = 3421 deg.K approx

Answer: 20 + 3421 = 3441 °C
