A plane flies 1800 miles in 9 ​hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same​ route, now with a​ headwind, tak

es 12 hours. assuming both remain​ constant, find the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind.​ [hint: if x is the​ plane's speed and y the wind speed​ (in mph), then the plane travels to its destination at xplusy mph because the plane and the wind go in the same​ direction; on the return​ trip, the plane travels at xminusy ​mph.]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

V_{plane} = 175 mph

v_{wind} = 25 mph

A cylindrical resistor element on a circuit board dissipates 1.2 W of power. The resistor is 2 cm long, and has a diameter of 0.
34kurt

Answer:

(a) The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

Explanation:

(a) The amount of heat dissipated (Q), measured in joules, by the cylindrical resistor is the power multiplied by operation time (\Delta t), measured in hours. That is:

Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t (1)

If we know that \dot Q = 1.2\,W and \Delta t = 86400\,s, then the amount of heat dissipated by the resistor is:

Q = (1.2\,W)\cdot (86400\,s)

Q = 103680\,J

The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux (Q'), measured in watts per square meter, is the heat transfer rate divided by the area of the cylinder (A), measured in square meters:

Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{A} (2)

Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}+\pi\cdot D \cdot h } (3)

Where:

D - Diameter, measured in meters.

h - Length, measured in meters.

If we know that \dot Q = 1.2\,W, D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m and h = 2\times 10^{-2}\,m, the heat flux of the resistor is:

Q' = \frac{1.2\,W}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}+\pi\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (2\times 10^{-2}\,m) }

Q' \approx 4340.589\,\frac{W}{m^{2}}

The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) Since heat is uniformly transfered, then the fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces (r), no unit, is the ratio of the top and bottom surfaces to total surface:

r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}}{A} (3)

If we know that A \approx 2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2} and D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m, then the fraction is:

r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2} }{2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}

r = 0.045

The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.
