Answer:

11.025 meters

Explanation:

The gravity’s acceleration on the surface of earth is approximately 9.8m/s

If it took 3 s to go up and come back, that means it took (1/2) × 3 to go from his hand to its highest point, and that amount of time again (1.5 seconds) to go back down to his hand.

This means the ball accelerated from Vi (initial Velocity) to 0 in 1.5 s

To find g in 1.5 i.e speed =

1.5 × 9.8 m/s = 14.7 m/s.

To find the height the ball reached=

We will use d = rt for this. Distance = Rate × Time

Since, it went 14.7 m/s at the start, and 0 m/s at the top, so the average speed of the ball going upward was (0+14.7)/2 = 7.35 m/s

7.35 m/s was the average speed = rate.

Time was 1.5 seconds, so we multiply.

7.35 m/s × 1.5seconds = 11.025 meters

The top height the ball had is (9/8)*g
g being the strength of the earth's attraction. so if g is about 9.8 then the ball went up about 11 meters

Thermal conductivity of a material is given as 129Btuft–¹ h–¹°F–¹.Calculate this thermal conductivity in Jm–¹s–¹°C–¹(Given: 1Btu
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

223.25 $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$

Explanation:

The thermal conductivity of an object is defined as the measure or the ability of the object to transfer heat or conduct heat through its body.

In the context, the thermal conductivity of the material is given as

$=129 \text{ Btu ft}^{-1}\text{h}^{-1}^\circ\text{F}^{-1}$

And it is given that :

1 Btu = 1055 J

1 ft = 0.3048 m

$1^\circ F = \frac{5}{9}^\circ C$

We know that 1 h = 3600 s

So the thermal conductivity of the material in $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$ is  :

Thermal conductivity :

$=\frac{129 \text{ Btu}}{1 \text{ ft }\times \text{1 h}\times 1^\circ\text{F}}$

$=\frac{129 \times 1055 \text{ J}}{0.3048 \text{ m} \ \times 3600 \text{ s}\ \times \frac{5}{9}^\circ \text{C}}$

=  223.25 $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$
