The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are nominally 17 C and

10 C at the top and bottom surfaces, respectively. If the concrete has a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m K, what is the rate of heat loss through the slab

Answer:

Q = - 4312 W = - 4.312 KW

Explanation:

The rate of heat of the concrete slab can be calculated through Fourier's Law of heat conduction. The formula of the Fourier's Law of heat conduction is as follows:

Q = - kA dt/dx

Integrating from one side of the slab to other along the thickness dimension, we get:

Q = - kA(T₂ - T₁)/L

Q = kA(T₁ - T₂)/t

where,

Q = Rate of Heat Loss = ?

k = thermal conductivity = 1.4 W/m.k

A = Surface Area = (11 m)(8 m) = 88 m²

T₁ = Temperature of Bottom Surface = 10°C

T₂ = Temperature of Top Surface = 17° C

t = Thickness of Slab = 0.2 m

Therefore,

Q = (1.4 W/m.k)(88 m²)(10°C - 17°C)/0.2 m

<u>Q = - 4312 W = - 4.312 KW</u>

<u>Here, negative sign shows the loss of heat.</u>

When a calcium atom forms an ion, it loses two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the calcium ion? a) −2 b) −1 c)+ 1 d)
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Option D

+2

Explanation:

We know that Calcium has 20 electrons and 20 protons. It lost two electrons, it has 20 protons, but only 18 electrons. This makes calcium a positive ion with a charge of +2.

Additional Problem: A simple pendulum, consisting of a string (of negligible mass) of length L with a small mass m at the end, i
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

a)   v = √ 2gL  abd  b)  θ = 45º

Explanation:

a) for this part we use the law of conservation of energy,

Highest starting point

       Em₀ = U = mg h

Final point. Lower

       Em₂ = ½ m v²

      Em₀ = Em₂

      m g h = ½ m v²

      v = √2g h

      v = √ 2gL

b) the definition of power is the relationship between work and time, but work is the product of force by displacement

     P = W / t = F. d ​​/ t = F. v

If we use Newton's second law, with one axis of the tangential reference system to the trajectory and the other perpendicular, in the direction of the rope, the only force we have to break down is the weight

     sin θ = Wt / W

     Wt = W sin θ

This force is parallel to the movement and also to the speed, whereby the scalar product is reduced to the ordinary product

     P = F v

The equation that describes the pendulum's motion is

    θ = θ₀ cos (wt)

Let's replace

    P = (W sin θ) θ₀ cos (wt)

    P = W θ₀ sint θ cos (wt)

We use the equation of rotational kinematics

    θ = wt

    P = Wθ₀ sin θ cos θ

Let's use

   sin 2θ = 2 sin θ cos θ

   P = Wθ₀/2 sin 2θ

This expression is maximum when the sine has a value of one (sin 2θ = 1), which occurs for 90º,

    2θ = 90

    θ = 45º

Huck Finn walks at a speed of 0.70 m/sm/s across his raft (that is, he walks perpendicular to the raft's motion relative to the
exis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of Huck w.r.t to raft v_{H,raft}=0.7\ m/s

Perpendicular to the motion of raft

Velocity of Raft in the river v_{raft,river}=1.6\ m/s

As Huck is traveling Perpendicular to the raft so he possess two velocities i.e. vertical velocity and horizontal velocity of River when observed from bank

v_{Huck,river\ bank}=0.7\hat{j}+1.6\hat{i}

So magnitude of velocity is given by

|v|=\sqrt{0.7^2+1.6^2}

|v|=\sqrt{0.49+2.56}

|v|=\sqrt{3.05}

|v|=1.74\ m/s

For direction \tan =\frac{0.7}{1.6}=0.4375

\theta =23.63^{\circ} w.r.t river bank
