Answer:

120,000J

Corrected question;

In one hour, coal supplies 500 000 J of energy. The wasted energy amounts to 380 000 J. How much useful energy is produced in one hour?

Explanation:

Given;

Total energy Et = 500,000 J

Wasted Energy Ew = 380,000J

The amount useful energy is the amount of energy that is available for supply.

This can be derived by subtracting the wasted energy from the total energy.

Useful energy = Total Energy - wasted energy

Eu = Et - Ew

Substituting the given values;

Eu = 500,000J - 380,000

Eu = 120,000 J

The amount of useful energy produced in one hour is 120,000 J

The interior space of large box is kept at 30 C. The walls of the box are 3 m high and have a ‘sandwich’ construction consisting

White raven [17]

Answer:

$\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2}$

$T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C$ & $T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given:

interior temperature of box, $T_i=30^{\circ}C$

height of the walls of box, $h=3\ m$

thickness of each layer of bi-layered plywood, $x_p=1.25\ cm=0.0125\ m$

thermal conductivity of plywood, $k_p=0.104\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

thickness of sandwiched Styrofoam, $x_s=5\ cm=0.05\ m$

thermal conductivity of Styrofoam, $k_s=0.04\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

exterior temperature, $T_o=0^{\circ}C$

From the Fourier's law of conduction:

$\dot Q=\frac{dT}{(\frac{x}{kA}) }$

$\dot Q=\frac{dT}{R_{th} }$ ....................................(1)

Now calculating the equivalent thermal resistance for conductivity using electrical analogy:

$R_{th}=R_p+R_s+R_p$

$R_{th}=\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}+\frac{x_s}{k_s.A}+\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}$

$R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{x_p}{k_p}+\frac{x_s}{k_s}+\frac{x_p}{k_p})$

$R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{0.0125}{0.104}+\frac{0.05}{0.04}+\frac{0.0125}{0.104})$

$R_{th}=\frac{1.4904}{A}$ .....................(2)

Putting the value from (2) into (1):

$\dot Q=\frac{30-0}{\frac{1.4904}{A} }$

$\dot Q=\frac{30\ A}{1.4904}$

$\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2}$ is the heat per unit area of the wall.

The heat flux remains constant because the area is constant.

For plywood-Styrofoam interface from inside:

$\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_p.\frac{T_i-T_1}{x_p}$

$20.129=0.104\times \frac{30-T_1}{0.0125}$

$T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C$

&For Styrofoam-plywood interface from inside:

$\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_s.\frac{T_1-T_2}{x_s}$

$20.129=0.04\times \frac{27.58-T_2}{0.05}$

$T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C$

A vertical scale on a spring balance reads from 0 to 155 N . The scale has a length of 10.0 cm from the 0 to 155 N reading. A fi

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

mass of the fish is 8.11 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of oscillation of spring block system is given as

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

here we know that the reading of scale varies from 0 to 155 N from length varies from x = 0 to x = 10 cm

Now we have

$k = \frac{155}{0.10} N/m$

$k = 1550 N/m$

so now we have

$2.20 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1550}{m}}$

$m = 8.11 kg$

so mass of the fish is 8.11 kg

A 120 kg tackler moving at 3.0 m/s meets head-on (and tackles) a 91 kg halfback moving at 7.5 m/s. What will be their mutual vel

Vesna [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the tackler, m₁ = 120 kg

Velocity of tackler, u₁ = 3 m/s

Mass, m₂ = 91 kg

Velocity, u₂ = -7.5 m/s

We need to find the mutual velocity immediately the collision. It is the case of inelastic collision such that,

$v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$v=\dfrac{120\ kg\times 3\ m/s+91\ kg\times (-7.5\ m/s)}{120\ kg+91\ kg}$

v = -1.5 m/s

Hence, their mutual velocity after the collision is 1.5 m/s and it is moving in the same direction as the halfback was moving initially. Hence, this is the required solution.
