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.

Please help!
Trava [24]

Answer:

3 N to the right

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the car:

- A force of 10 N towards the right

- A force of 7 N towards the left

Therefore, the net force is given by the difference between the two, since they are in opposite directions:

F=10 N-7 N=3 N

And the direction is to the right, since the force to the right has greater magnitude than the force to the left.

If the phase of the vibrating sources was changed so that they were vibrating completely out of phase, what effect would this ha
Over [174]

Answer:

There would be complete destructive interference.

Explanation:

This is because since the waves are completely out of phase, the phase difference is half wavelength, that is the phase angle is 180°. The vibrating sources are 180° out of phase with each other.

Since this is the case, the crest of the one source meets the trough of the other, this causes the resultant vibrational wave to cancel out, thus producing a destructive interference pattern.

Since the vibrating sources are completely out of phase, every point they meet is completely out of phase, so the resultant interference pattern would produce a complete destructive interference pattern of no wave.

A pizza delivery driver must make three stops on her route. She will first leave the restaurant and travel 4 km due north to the
topjm [15]
<h2>5.3 km</h2>

Explanation:

       This question involves continuous displacement in various directions. When it becomes difficult to imagine, vector analysis becomes handy.

       Let us denote each of the individual displacements by a vector. Consider the unit vectors \vec{i}\textrm{ and }\vec{j} as the unit vectors in the direction of East and North respectively.

       By simple calculations, we can derive the unit vectors \vec{j},\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2}\textrm{ and }\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2} in the directions North, 45^{o} South of West and 60^{o} North of West respectively.

       So Total displacement vector = Sum of individual displacement vectors.

       Displacement vector = 4(\vec{j})+6(\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2})+5(\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2})=-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}

       Magnitude of Displacement = |-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}|=5.3km

∴ Total displacement = 5.3km
