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

Three boys of equal strength try to break a rope (and fail) by tying one end to a fence post and tugging on the other end. Three
podryga [215]

The best choice would be C. Keep one end of the rope tied to the post and have all six boys tug on the other end.

Reason:

A is not correct since in the first case which is B, untying the rope from the post and have 3 boys on each end of it tug, will provide equal or a near equal amount of tension since the boys are all within the same strength, however there can be variables that will affect the tension.

That means B would be true according to A, and then for C, having all six boys pull on the other end of the rope would provide greater tension, since if 3 boys of the same strength range can't break the rope when its tied to the fence, we add the other 3 boys of the same strength.

However, if 3 boys are on each end of the rope and of the same strength then the rope will not break since there is an equal amount of net force exerted on the rope.

We know that the fence can withstand the strength of 3 boys but if we add the other 3 boys then it could provide us with a different outcome.

3B < F

3B(2) ≥ F

So, therefore, our best choice would be C since A and B is incorrect.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

d: +3

Explanation:

X1 is going +3 meters to arrive to X2. More scientifically -6+3= -3 which is the value of X2 which tells us that the correct answer is +3.

While a dog runs forward, its
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

d = 100.56 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the dog is 22.4 N

Angle at which the force is applied is 115 º

Work done is - 42.3 J

We need to find the distance covered by the dog. The work done by an object is given by :

W=Fd\cos\theta

d = distance covered by the dog

d=\dfrac{W}{\cos\theta}\\\\d=\dfrac{-42.5}{\cos(115)}\\\\d=100.56\ m

So, the dog moves a distance of 100.56 m.

What would happen if both dogs pulled the rope with a force of 85 n?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The net force will be 0

Explanation:

Since both dogs are pulling with the same amount of force, there will be no movement in any direction because the applied force is balanced. Subtract 85 from 85 and the net force is 0. There will be no movement in any direction.
