Why should a building have better thermal insulation placed in its ceiling than in its walls

Physics
1 answer:
kupik [55]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

In a building, heat rises. By putting the insulation in the ceiling heat will rise and get trapped at the top and fill up the entire room. The purpose of insulation is to minimize the transmission of heat within the walls, floors, and ceilings. By minimizing the transmission of heat, you not only keep the room warm but you also lower your electricity and heat bill.

kondaur [170]
Slicing a tomato is still considered a physical change because you are only altering the shape of it by slicing it. It does not change color or make bubble when slicing the tomato. Therefore, it is still a physical change

How much displacement will a spring with a constant of 120N / m achieve if it is stretched by a force of 60N?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

There's a formula for this:

F = k*displacement

F being force, k being the spring constant, and displacement being the change in x

We are given the force and the spring constant, so this is essentially isolating the Δx term. Do 60N/120N per meter. The newtons cancel out and you get a final answer of Δx = 0.5 meters

A force acts on a body of mass 13 kg initially at rest. The force
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Force that acted on the body was F = 13 N

Explanation:

If once accelerated, the body covers 60 meters in 6 seconds, then its velocity is 60/6 m/s = 10 m/s

When the force was acting (for 10 seconds) the object accelerated from rest (initial velocity vi = 0) to 10 m/s (its final velocity). therefore we can use the kinematic equation for the velocity in an accelerated motion given by:

v_f=v_i+a*t

which in our case becomes;

10\,m/s=0+a*(10\,s)

and we can solve for the acceleration as:

a = 10/10  m/s^2 = 1 m/s^2

Therefore the force acting on the body, based on Newton's 2nd Law expression: F = m * a is:

F = 13 kg * 1 m/s^2 = 13 N

What is the instantaneous speed at 5 seconds? (remember s=d/t)
TEA [102]
5 seconds is a poor time to ask about, because the speed abruptly changes at exactly 5 seconds.

Up until that time, the speed has been 1 m/s. And then, at exactly 5 seconds, it becomes zero.
_________

It's also a poor question because speed is calculated from the distance covered, but the graph shows displacement, not distance. You can't really tell the distance covered from a displacement graph. For example, if an object happens to be moving in a circle around the place where it started, then the total distance covered keeps increasing, but its displacement is constant.
