Rate of weathering depends on temperature and moisture. Cold dry places have less water to weather things

A 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0 m high cliff. At the instant the ball i

scoray [572]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m

Explanation:

Given

The initial height of the cliff

yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff

y = yo + ut -1/2gt²

u = 20.0m/s initial speed

g = 9.80m/s²

0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²

0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²

Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,

t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s

So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.

The distance traveled by the woman is

s = vt

Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s

Therefore

s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m

Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.

Consider a 20 cm thick granite wall with a thermal conductivity of 2.79 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held const

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

Explanation:

Thickness of the wall is L= 20cm = 0.2m

Thermal conductivity of the wall is K = 2.79 W/m·K

Temperature at the left side surface is T₁ = 50°C

Temperature of the air is T = 22°C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 15 W/m2·K

Heat conduction process through wall is equal to the heat convection process so

$Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}$

Expression for the heat conduction process is

$Q_{conduction} = \frac{K(T_1 - T)}{L}$

Expression for the heat convection process is

$Q_{convection} = h(T_2 - T)$

Substitute the expressions of conduction and convection in equation above

$Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}$

$\frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L} = h(T_2 - T)$

Substitute the values in above equation

$\frac{2.79(50- T_2)}{0.2} = 15(T_2 - 22)\\\\T_2 = 35.5^\circC$

Now heat flux through the wall can be calculated as

$q_{flux} = Q_{conduction} \\\\q_{flux} = \frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L}\\\\q_{flux} = \frac{2.79(50 - 35.5)}{0.2}\\\\q_{flux} = 202.3W/m^2$

Thus, the right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

How are energy time and power related physics?

olganol [36]

Power is the rate of energy. Mathematically, it is

Power (p) = Energy(E) / Time(t)
