How does a heat sink improve cooling inside computers?

Chemistry
1 answer:
amid [387]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It does this by using a thermal conductor (usually metal) to carry heat away from the processor into fins that expose a high amount of surface area to moving air. This allows the air to be heated, thus cooling the heat sink and the processor as well.

A slice of pizza has 500 kcal. If we could burn the pizza and use all the heat to warm a 50-L container of cold water, what woul
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

10°C  

Explanation:

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by the slice of pizza

Thus,    

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times \Delta T=Q

<u>For water:  </u>

Volume = 50.0 L

Density of water= 1 kg/L  

So, mass of the water:  

Mass\ of\ water=Density \times {Volume\ of\ water}  

Mass\ of\ water=1 kg/L \times {50.0\ L}  

Mass of water  = 50 kg

Specific heat of water = 1 kcal/kg°C  

ΔT = ?

For slice of pizza:  

Q = 500 kcal

So,

50\times 1\times \Delta T=500  

ΔT = 10°C  

Increase in temperature = 10°C

The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate parameter of 8.1% per day. f
Elanso [62]
The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay 
t-  time 
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present 
substituting the values 
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081 
  = 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days
