It's a hardness scale from 1-10 determining how easy or hard it is to scratch the mineral.

Remember that talc (like chalk or baby powder) is the softest and easiest to scratch then diamond being 10 is the hardest mineral to scratch or break or cut

The thermal conductivity of a sheet of rigid, extruded insulation is reported to be k=0.029 W/m.K. The measured temperature diff

klasskru [66]

Answer:

flux=13.92W/m^2

Explanation:

The heat transfer by conduction consists in the transport of energy through particles that are together, that is to say by means of solids, Newton developed an equation that allows to know the heat transported in a flat plate knowing the cross sectional area A, Thickness L, conductivity K and a temperature difference between the internal and external surface.

Q=KA(t2-t1)/L

To know the heat flux we simply divide both sides of the equation by the area.

Flux=K(t2-t1)/L

where

K=0.029w/mk

L=25mm=0.025m

t2-t1=12 ° C

solving

Flux=(0.029)(12)/(0.025)

flux=13.92W/m^2

A rod of length 35.50 cm has linear density (mass per length) given by λ = 50.0 + 23.0x where x is the distance from one end, an

hram777 [196]

Answer:

(a)20.65g

(b)0.19m

Explanation:

(a) The total mass would be it's mass per length multiplied by the total lenght

0.355(50 + 23*0.355) = 20.65 g

(b) The center of mass would be at point c where the mass on the left and on the right of c is the same

Hence the mass on the left side would be half of its total mass which is 20.65/2 = 10.32 g

$c(50 + 23c) = 10.32$

$23c^2 + 50c - 10.32 = 0$

$c \approx 0.19m$

A ranger in a national park is driving at 52 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 87 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.23 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the ranger, u = 52 km/h = 14.44 m/s

Final speed of the ranger, v = 0 (as brakes are applied)

Acceleration of the ranger, $a=-4\ m/s^2$

Distance between deer and the vehicle, d = 87 m

Let d' is the distance covered by the deer so that it comes top rest. So,

$d'=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$d'=\dfrac{-(14.44)^2}{2\times -4}$

d' = 26.06 m

Distance between the point where the deer stops and the vehicle is :

D=d-d'

D=87 - 26.06 = 60.94 m

Let t is the maximum reaction time allowed if the ranger is to avoid hitting the deer. It can be calculated as :

$t=\dfrac{v}{D}$

$t=\dfrac{14.44}{60.94}$

t = 0.23 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.
