Definitely air since most metals are conductors and air is an insulator.

The answer is E. air
Air is a poor conductor of heat. This can be determined through a property called thermal conductivity and has a unit of W/m.K. It is described as a quantity of heat through a unit thickness of material per temperature. The higher the thermal conductivity of a material, the more it is able to conduct heat. Most gases are poor conductors of heat.

For heat transfer purposes, an egg can be considered to be a 5.5-cm-diameter sphere having the properties of water. An egg that

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 40007 sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the egg is $d_e = 5.5cm = \frac{5.5}{100} = 5.5*10^{-2}m$

The initial temperature of egg the $T_e = 4.3^{o}C$

The temperature of the boiling water $T_b = 100^oC$

The heat transfer coefficient is $H = 800 W/m^2 \cdot K$

The final temperature is $T_e_f = 74^oC$

The thermal conductivity of water is $k = 0.607 W/m^oC$

The diffusivity of the egg $\alpha = 0.146 * 10^{-6} m^2 /s$

Using one term approximation

We have the

$\frac{T_e_f - T_b}{T_e - T_b} = Ae^{-\lambda ^2 \tau}$

The radius is $r = \frac{5.5*10^ {-2}}{2} =2.75*10^{-2}m$ Note that this radius is approximation to that of a real egg

Now we need to obtain the Biot number which help indicate the value of $A \ and \ \lambda$ to use in the above equation

The Biot number is mathematically represented as

$Bi = \frac{H r}{k}$

Substituting values

$Bi = \frac{800 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.607}$

$= 36.24$

So for this value which greater than 0.1 the coefficient $\lambda_1 \ and \ A_1$ is

$\lambda = 3.06632$

$A = 1.9942$

Substituting this into equation 1 we have

$\frac{74- 100}{4.3 - 100} = 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}$

$0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}$

$0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-9.383 \tau}$

$0.13624 = e^{-9.383 \tau}$

Taking natural log of both sides

$-1.993 = -9.383\ \tau$

$\tau = 0.2124$

The time required for the egg to be cooked is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\tau r^2}{\alpha }$

substituting value is

$= \frac{0.2124 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.146 *10^{-6}}$

$t = 40007 sec$

A ball rolls down the hill which has a vertical height of 15 m. Ignoring friction what would be the gravitational potential ener

trasher [3.6K]

a) Potential energy: 147 m [J]

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m is its mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

In this problem,

h = 15 m

We call 'm' the mass of the ball, since we don't know it

So, the potential energy of the ball at the top of the hill is

$U=(m)(9.8)(15)=147 m$ (J)

b) Velocity of the ball at the bottom of the hill: 17.1 m/s

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of friction all the potential energy of the ball is converted into kinetic energy as the ball reaches the bottom of the hill. Therefore we can write:

$U=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the final velocity of the ball

We know from part a) that

U = 147 m

Substituting into the equation above,

$147 m = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

And re-arranging for v, we find the velocity:

$v=\sqrt{2\cdot 147}=17.1 m/s$
