Answer:

ΔT=  11.94 °C

Explanation:

Given that

mass of water = 10 kh

Time t= 15 min

Heat lot from water = 400  KJ

Heat input to the water = 1  KW

Heat input the water= 1 x 15 x 60

                                =900 KJ

By heat balancing

Heat supply - heat rejected = Heat gain by water

As we know that heat capacity of water

C_p=4.187 \frac{KJ}{kg-K}

Q=mC_p\Delta T

Now by putting the values

900 - 400 = 10 x 4.187 x ΔT

So  rise in temperature of water ΔT=  11.94 °C

You want to plate a steel part having a surface area of 160 with a 0.002--thick layer of lead. The atomic mass of lead is 207.19
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<u><em>To answer this question we assumed that the area units and the thickness units are given in inches.</em></u>

The number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.    

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of lead we need to find first the volume of the plate:

V = A*t

<u>Where</u>:

A: is the surface area = 160

t: is the thickness = 0.002

<u><em>Assuming that the units given above are in inches we proceed to calculate the volume: </em></u>

V = A*t = 160 in^{2}*0.002 in = 0.32 in^{3}*(\frac{2.54 cm}{1 in})^{3} = 5.24 cm^{3}    

Now, using the density we can find the mass:

m = d*V = 11.36 g/cm^{3}*5.24 cm^{3} = 59.5 g

Finally, with the Avogadros number (N_{A}) and with the atomic mass (A) we can find the number of atoms (N):

N = \frac{m*N_{A}}{A} = \frac{59.5 g*6.022 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol}{207.19 g/mol} = 1.73 \cdot 10^{23} atoms    

Hence, the number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

I hope it helps you!

The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 4500kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

15.24°C

Explanation:

The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as

COP=\frac{Q_{in}}{W}

Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat

You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency

In our case, the COP of our heater is

COP_{heater} = \frac{\frac{4500\ kJ}{3600\ s} *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4\ kW}

Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside

To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump

Which has COP of:

COP_{carnot}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater

\frac{1.25 *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

Rearrange the equation

\frac{1.25}{4}(24-T_{out})^2-24=0

Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be

15.24°C

1. Examine the following circuit. Find RT, I3, R1, R2, R3, V1, V2 and V3. Show all of your work clearly below.
Mkey [24]

Explanation:

Ohm's law is used here. V = IR, and variations. The voltage across all elements is the same in this parallel circuit. (V1 =V2 =V3)

The total supply current is the sum of the currents in each of the branches. (It = I1 +I2 +I3)

Rt = (8 V)/(8 A) = 1 Ω . . . . supply voltage divided by supply current

I3 = 8A -3A -4A = 1 A . . . . supply current not flowing through other branches

R1 = (8 V)/(3 A) = 8/3 Ω

R2 = (8 V)/(4 A) = 2 Ω

R3 = (8 V)/(I3) = (8 V)/(1 A) = 8 Ω

V1 = V2 = V3 = 8 V

A rod that was originally 100-cm-long experiences a strain of 82%. What is the new length of the rod?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The new length of the rod is 182 cm.

Explanation:

Given that a rod that was originally 100-cm-long experiences a strain of 82%, to determine what is the new length of the rod, the following calculation must be performed:

100 x 1.82 = X

182 = X

 

Therefore, the new length of the rod is 182 cm.
