When you hammer a nail into wood, the nail heats up. 30 Joules of energy was absorbed by a 5-g nail as it was hammered into plac

e. How much does the nail's temperature increase (in °C) during this process? (The specific heat capacity of the nail is 450 J/kg-°C, and round to 3 significant digits.

Answer:

13.33 K

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed, Q = 30 J

Mass of nail, m = 5 g = 0.005 kg

The specific heat capacity of the nail is 450 J/kg-°C.

We need to find the increase in the temperature during the process. The heat absorbed in a process is as follows:

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\dfrac{Q}{mc}\\\\\Delta T=\dfrac{30}{0.005\times 450}\\\\=13.33\ K$

So, the increase in temperature is 13.33 K.

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

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction:</u>

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

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

<u>Now calculating the equivalent thermal resistance for conductivity using electrical analogy:</u>

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

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

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

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

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

<u>For plywood-Styrofoam interface from inside:</u>

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

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

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

&<u>For Styrofoam-plywood interface from inside:</u>

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

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

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

State the methods of nuclear fission waste disposal and the suitability of each method.

Alexeev081 [22]

<span>Most low-level radioactive waste (LLW) is typically sent to land-based disposal immediately following its packaging for long-term management. This means that for the majority (~90% by volume) of all of the waste types produced by nuclear technologies, a satisfactory disposal means has been developed and is being implemented around the world.
</span>

Radioactive wastes are stored so as to avoid any chance of radiation exposure to people, or any pollution.The radioactivity of the wastes decays with time, providing a strong incentive to store high-level waste for about 50 years before disposal.Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere.Storage of used fuel is normally under water for at least five years and then often in dry storage.<span>Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.

Doubling the frequency of a wave source doubles the speed of the wave assuing that wavelength remains the same? True or false? W

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:true,because velocity is directly proportional to speed or velocity

Explanation:

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

The velocity or speed varies directly with the frequency, so as the frequency is increased, the velocity or speed is also increased
