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

Answer:

(a) The range of the projectile is 31,813.18 m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile is 4,591.84 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the projectile, u = 600 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 30⁰

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

(a) The range of the projectile in meters;

$R = \frac{u^2sin \ 2\theta}{g} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin(2\times 30^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin (60^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = 31,813.18 \ m$

(b) The maximum height of the projectile in meters;

$H = \frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (sin \ 30)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (0.5)^2}{19.6} \\\\H = 4,591.84 \ m$

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 600^2 + (2 \times 9.8)(4,591.84)\\\\v^2 = 360,000 + 90,000.064\\\\v = \sqrt{450,000.064} \\\\v = 670.82 \ m/s$

This is a measure of the quantity of matter.

emmainna [20.7K]

The measure of the quantity of matter would be mass. Mass is measured in kilograms. I hope this helped!:)
