Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When car

rying 18 gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs 1999 pounds. When carrying 46 gallons of fuel, it weighs 2153 pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying 58 gallons of fuel?

Answer:

W=2219pounds

Explanation:

If the weight  is a linear function of the amount of fuel, the following correlation is fulfilled :

\frac{2153pounds-1999pounds}{46gallons-18gallons} = \frac{W-1999pounds}{58gallons-18galons}

we solve the equation:

W=2219pounds

Why are metals good conductors of both heat and electricity?
serious [3.7K]
They are both good conductors if both heat and electricity due to the sea of delocalized electrons that is floating around without getting bonded to an atom.

Such electrons can flow around freely to conduct heat and electricity.

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.
