The term 'thermal energy' is used differently, and often loosely, in different contexts. It refers to several distinct physical concepts, such as the internal energy, or as the enthalpy, of a body of matter and radiation; or as heat, defined as a type of energy transfer (as is thermodynamic work); or as the characteristic energy of a degree of freedom,

An airplane propeller is rotating at 1900 rpm (rev/min).

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have to convert to angular velocity in rads-1 as follows;

Angular velocity in rad/s = 2π/60 × 1900 rpm = 199 rad/s

Given that

angular velocity =angle turned /time taken

Time taken = angle turned/angular velocity

Converting 35° to radians we have;

35 × π/180 = 0.61 radians

Time taken = 0.61 radians/199 rad/s

Time taken = 0.0031 seconds

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

Lunna [17]

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

Q = - 4312 W = - 4.312 KW

Here, negative sign shows the loss of heat.

Which of the following graph is used for determining the instantaneous velocity from the slope?

hoa [83]

Answer:

B. x - t graph

Explanation:

A position-time (x-t) graph is a graph of the position of an object against (versus) time.

Generally, the slope of the line of a position-time (x-t) graph is typically used to determine or calculate the velocity of an object.

An instantaneous velocity can be defined as the rate of change in position of an object in motion for a short-specified interval of time. Thus, an instantaneous velocity is a quantity that can be found by measuring the slope of a line that is tangent to a point on the graph.

Hence, the x - t graph also referred to as the position-time graph is used for determining the instantaneous velocity from the slope.

For example;

Given that the equation of motion is S(t) = 4t² + 2t + 10. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 5 seconds.

Solution.

$S(t) = 4t^{2} + 2t + 10$
