A homeowner purchases insulation for her attic rated at R-15. She wants the attic insulated to R-30. If the insulation she purchased is 10 cm thick, what thickness does she need to use

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

she need to use 20 cm thick

Explanation:

given data

wants the attic insulated = R-30

purchased = 10 cm thick

solution

as per given we can say that

10 cm is for the R 15

but she want for R 30

so  

R 30 thickness = [tex]\frac{30}{15} \times 10[/tex]  

R 30 thickness = 20 cm

so she need to use 20 cm thick

light of wavelength 550 nm is incident on a diffraction grating that is 1 cm wide and has 1000 slits. What is the dispersion of the m = 2 line?

Answers

Answer:

The dispersion is [tex]D = 2.01220 *10^{5} \ rad/m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of the light is  [tex]\lambda = 550 \ = 550 *10^{-9} \ n[/tex]

    The width of the grating is[tex]k = 1\ cm = 0.01 \ m[/tex]

    The  number of slit is  N =  1000 slits

    The order of the maxima is  m =  2

 

Generally the spacing between the slit is mathematically represented as

         [tex]d = \frac{k}{N}[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]d = \frac{ 0.01}{1000}[/tex]

       [tex]d = 1.0 *10^{-5} \ m[/tex]

Generally the condition for constructive interference is

substituting values

      [tex]1.0 *10^{-5} sin (\theta) = 2 * 550 *10^{-9}[/tex]

       [tex]\theta = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 550 *10^{-9}}{ 1.0 *10^{-5}} ][/tex]

      [tex]\theta = 6.315^o[/tex]

Generally the dispersion is mathematically represented as

           [tex]D = \frac{ m }{d cos(\theta )}[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]D = \frac{ 2 }{ 1.0 *10^{-5} cos(6.315 )}[/tex]

A 70 kg man floats in freshwater with 3.2% of his volume above water when his lungs are empty, and 4.85% of his volume above water when his lungs are full.

Required:
a. Calculate the volume of air he inhales - called his lung capacity - in liters.
b. Does this lung volume seem reasonable?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A) Vair = 1.3 L

B) Volume is not reasonable

Explanation:

A)

Assume

m to be total mass of the man

mp be the mass of the man that pulled out of the water

m1 be the mass above the water with the empty lung

m2 be the mass above the water with full lung

wp be the weight that the buoyant force opposes as a result of the air.

Va be the volume of air inside man's lungs

Fb be the buoyant force due to the air in the lung

given;

m = 78.5 kg

m1 = 3.2% × 78.5 = 2.5 kg

m2 = 4.85% × 78.5 = 3.8kg

But, mp = m2- m1

mp = 3.8 - 2.5

mp = 1.3kg

So using

Archimedes principle, the relation for formula for buoyant force as;

Fb = (m_displaced water)g = (ρ_water × V_air × g)

Where ρ_water is density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Thus;

Fb = wp = 1.3× 9.81

Fb = 12.7N

But

Fb = (ρ_water × V_air × g)

So

Vair = Fb/(ρ_water × × g)

Vair = 12.7/(1000 × 9.81)

V_air = 1.3 × 10^(-3) m³

convert to litres

1 m³ = 1000 L

Thus;

V_air = 1.3× 10^(-3) × 1000

V_air = 1.3 L

But since the average lung capacity of an adult human being is about 6-7litres of air.

Thus, the calculated lung volume is not reasonable

All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet. (The three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same outlet.) Assume that this is the standard household 120-V circuit with a 15-A fuse.
a. What current is drawn by each device?
b. To see if this combination will blow the 15-A fuse, find the total current used when all three appliances are on.

Answers

Answer:

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Explanation:

given data

toaster = 1140-W

blender = 270-W

lamp = 80-W

voltage = 120 V

solution

we know that current is express as

current = power ÷ voltage   ......................1

here voltage is same in all three device

so

current by toaster is

I = [tex]\frac{1140}{120}[/tex]

I = 9.5 A

and

current by blender

I = [tex]\frac{270}{120}[/tex]

I = 2.25 A

and

current by lamp is

I = [tex]\frac{80}{120}[/tex]

I = 0.667 A

so here device in parallel so

total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

How much energy is required to accelerate a spaceship with a rest mass of 121 metric tons to a speed of 0.509 c?

Answers

Answer

1.07E22 Joules

Explanation;

We know that mass expands by a factor

=>>1/√[1-(v/c)²]

But v= 0.509c

So

1/√(1 - 0.509²)

=>>> 1/√(1 - 0.2591)

= >> 1/√(0.7409) = 1.16

But given that 121 tons is rest mass so 121- 1.16= 119.84 tons is kinetic energy

And we know that rest mass-energy equivalence is 9 x 10^19 joules per ton.

So Multiplying by 119.84

Kinetic energy will be 1.07x 10^22 joules

A hydraulic lift raises a 2 000-kg automobile when a 500-N force is applied to the smaller piston. If the smaller piston has an area of 10 cm2, what is the cross-sectional area of the larger piston

Answers

Answer:

The cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 392 cm²

Explanation:

Given;

output mass of the piston, m₀ = 2000 kg

input force of the piston, F₁ = 500 N

input area of the piston, A₁ = 10 cm² = 0.001 m²

The output force is given by;

F₀ = m₀g

F₀ = 2000 x 9.8

F₀ = 19600 N

The cross-sectional area of the larger piston or output area of the piston will be calculated by applying the following equations;

[tex]\frac{F_i}{A_i} = \frac{F_o}{A_o} \\\\A_o= \frac{F_o A_i}{F_i} \\\\A_o = \frac{19600*0.001}{500} \\\\A_o = 0.0392 \ m^2\\\\A_o = 392 \ cm^2[/tex]

Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 392 cm²

The charger for your electronic devices is a transformer. Suppose a 60 Hz outlet voltage of 120 V needs to be reduced to a device voltage of 3.0 V. The side of the transformer attached to the electronic device has 45 turns of wire.
How many turns are on the side that plugs into the outlet?

Answers

Answer:

N₁ = 1800 turns

So, the side of the transformer that plugs into the outlet has 1800 turns.

Explanation:

The transformer turns ratio is given by the following equation:

V₁/V₂ = N₁/N₂

where,

V₁ = Voltage of outlet = 120 V

V₂ = Device Voltage = 3 V

N₁ = No. of turns on outlet side = ?

N₂ = No. of turns on side of device = 45

Therefore,

120 V/3 V = N₁/45

N₁ = (40)(45)

N₁ = 1800 turns

So, the side of the transformer that plugs into the outlet has 1800 turns.

If 50 mL of each of the liquids in the answer choices were poured into a 250 mL beaker, which layer would be directly above a small rubber ball with a density of 0.960 g/mL? A. sea water – density of 1.024 g/mL B. mineral oil – density of 0.910 g/mL C. distilled water – density of 1.0 g/mL D. petroleum oil – density of 0.820 g/mL

Answers

Answer:

B. mineral oil – density of 0.910 g/mL.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the density is known as the degree of compactness a body has (mass in the occupied volume), the higher the density, the higher the weight of the body, therefore, if submerged into a liquid it could float if less dense than the liquid or sink if more dense than the liquid.

In such a way, since the rubber is more dense than mineral (0.960 g/mL > 0.910 g/mL) oil but less dense than distilled water (0.960 g/mL < 1.0 g/mL) we can say that B. mineral oil – density of 0.910 g/mL is directly above it when submerged.

A double-convex thin lens is made of glass with an index of refraction of 1.52. The radii of curvature of the faces of the lens are 60 cm and 72 cm. What is the focal length of the lens

Answers

Answer:

63 cm

Explanation:

Mathematically;

The focal length of a double convex lens is given as;

1/f = (n-1)[1/R1 + 1/R2]

where n is the refractive index of the medium given as 1.52

R1 and R2 represents radius of curvature which are given as 60cm and 72cm respectively.

Plugging these values into the equation, we have:

1/f = (1.52-1)[1/60 + 1/72)

1/f = 0.0158

f = 1/0.0158

f = 63.29cm which is approximately 63cm

A student wants to create a 6.0V DC battery from a 1.5V DC battery. Can this be done using a transformer alone

Answers

Answer:

Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.

Explanation:

A transformer, alone, can not be used to convert a DC voltage to another DC voltage. If we apply a DC voltage to the primary coil of the transformer, it will act as short circuit due to low resistance. It will cause overflow of current through winding, resulting in overheating pf the transformer.

Hence, the transformer only take AC voltage as an input, and converts it to another AC voltage. So, the output voltage of a transformer is also AC voltage.

So, in order to convert a 6 V DC to 1.5 V DC we need an inverter to convert 6 V DC to AC, then a step down transformer to convert it to 1.5 V AC, and finally a rectifier to convert 1.5 V AC to 1.5 V DC.

Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Length of race = 5km

Maximum speed = 45 yards

Converting from yards to kilometer :

1km = 1093.613 yards

x = 45 yards

(1093.613 * x) = 45

x = 45 / 1093.613

x = 0.0411480 km

Where x = maximum length for which he can maintain his maximum speed expressed in kilometers.

Therefore, with the available information, it can be concluded that Lamar cannot maintain his maximum speed for the entire 5km race and will only be able maintain his maximum speed for 0.0411 kilometers.

Lamar cannot maintain his maximum speed for the entire 5km race and will only be able maintain his maximum speed for 0.0411 kilometers.

The calculation is as follows;

Length of race = 5km

Maximum speed = 45 yards

Converting from yards to kilometer :

1km = 1093.613 yards

x = 45 yards

[tex](1093.613 \times x) = 45[/tex]

[tex]x = 45 \div 1093.613[/tex]

In the lab, you shoot an electron towards the south. As it moves through a magnetic field, you observe the electron curving upward toward the roof of the lab. You deduce that the magnetic field must be pointing:_______.
a. to the west.
b. upward.
c. to the north.
d. to the east.
e. downward.

Answers

Answer:

a. to the west.

Explanation:

An electron in a magnetic field always experience a force that tends to change its direction of motion through the magnetic field. According to Lorentz left hand rule (which is the opposite of Lorentz right hand rule for a positive charge), the left hand is used to represent the motion of an electron in a magnetic field. Hold out the left hand with the fingers held out parallel to the palm, and the thumb held at right angle to the other fingers. If the thumb represents the motion of the electron though the field, and the other fingers represent the direction of the field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the particle.

In this case, if we point the thumb (which shows the direction we shot the electron) to the south (towards your body), with the palm (shows the direction of the force) facing up to the roof, then the fingers (the direction of the field) will point west.

During the spin cycle of your clothes washer, the tub rotates at a steady angular velocity of 31.7 rad/s. Find the angular displacement Δθ of the tub during a spin of 98.3 s, expressed both in radians and in revolutions.

Explanation:

The tub rotates at constant speed and the kinematic formula to describe the change in angular displacement ([tex]\Delta \theta[/tex]), measured in radians, is:

[tex]\Delta \theta = \omega \cdot \Delta t[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\omega[/tex] - Steady angular speed, measured in radians per second.

If [tex]\omega = 31.7\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex] and [tex]\Delta t = 98.3\,s[/tex], then:

[tex]\Delta \theta = \left(31.7\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)\cdot (98.3\,s)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta \theta = 3116.11\,rad[/tex]

The change in angular displacement, measured in revolutions, is given by the following expression:

In a double‑slit interference experiment, the wavelength is lambda=487 nm , the slit separation is d=0.200 mm , and the screen is D=48.0 cm away from the slits. What is the linear distance Δx between the eighth order maximum and the fourth order maximum on the screen?

Answers

Answer:

Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm

Explanation:

The distance between the consecutive maxima, in Young's Double Slit Experiment is given bu the following formula:

Δx = λD/d

So, the distance between the eighth order maximum and the fourth order maximum on the screen will be given as:

Δx = 4λD/d

where,

Δx = distance between eighth order maximum and fourth order maximum=?

λ = wavelength = 487 nm = 4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = slit separation = 0.2 mm = 2 x 10⁻⁴ m

D = Distance between slits and screen = 48 cm = 0.48 m

Therefore,

Δx = (4)(4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m)(0.48 m)/(2 x 10⁻⁴ m)

Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm

A ball is thrown upward from a height of 432 feet above the​ ground, with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. From physics it is known that the velocity at time t is v (t )equals 96 minus 32 t feet per second. ​a) Find​ s(t), the function giving the height of the ball at time t. ​b) How long will the ball take to reach the​ ground? ​c) How high will the ball​ go?

Answers

Answer;

A)S(t)=96t-16t² +432

B)it will take 9 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.

C)864feet

Explanation:

We were given an initial height of 432 feet.

And v(t)= 96-32t

A) we are to Find​ s(t), the function giving the height of the ball at time t

The position, or heigth, is the integrative of the velocity. So

S(t)= ∫(96-32)dt

S(t)=96t-16t² +K

S(t)=96t-16t² +432

In which the constant of integration K is the initial height, so K= 432

b) we need to know how long will the ball take to reach the​ ground

This is t when S(t)= 0

S(t)=96t-16t² +432

-16t² +96t +432=0

This is quadratic equation, if you solve using factorization method we have

t= -3 or t= 9

Therefore, , t is the instant of time and it must be a positive value.

So it will take 9 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.

C)V=s/t

Velocity= distance/ time

=96=s/9sec

S=96×9

=864feet

By applying the integrations,

(a) [tex]S = 96t-16t^2+432[/tex]

(b) Time will be "t = 9".

(c) Height will be "576"

Given:

Height,

423 feet

Initial velocity,

96 feet/sec

According to the question,

(a)

Integrate v:

[tex]S = 96t-16t^2+C[/tex]

Initial Condition,

→ [tex]S = 96t-16t^2+432[/tex]

(b)

Hits the ground when,

S = 0

→ [tex]0=96t-16t^2+432[/tex]

→ [tex]t =9[/tex]

(c)

Maximum height when,

v = 0

→ [tex]0 = 96-32 t[/tex]

→ [tex]t = 3[/tex]

Now,

→ [tex]S = 96\times 3-16\times 3^2+432[/tex]

      [tex]= 576[/tex]

Specific heat is a measurement of the amount of heat energy input required for one gram of a substance to increase its temperature by one degree Celsius. Solid lithium has a specific heat of 3.5 J/g·°C. This means that one gram of lithium requires 3.5 J of heat to increase 1°C. Plot the temperature of 1g of lithium after 3.5, 7, and 10.5 J of thermal energy are added.

Answers

Answer:

ΔT = 1ºC , 2ºCand 3ºC

Explanation:

In this exercise they indicate the specific heat of lithium

let's calculate the temperature increase as a function of the heat introduced

          Q = m [tex]c_{e}[/tex] ΔT

          ΔT = Q / m c_{e}

 for Q = 3.5 J

         ΔT = 3.5 / (1 3.5)

         ΔT = 1ºC

For Q = 7.0 J

         ΔT = 7 / (1 3.5)

         ΔT = 2ºC

for Q = 10.5 J

         ΔD = 10.5 / (1 3.5)

         ΔT = 3ºC

Warm blooded animals are homeothermic; that is, they maintain an approximately constant body temperature. (Forhumans it's about 37 oC.) When they are in an environment that is below their optimum temperature, they use energy derived from chemical reactions within their bodies to warm them up. One of the ways that animals lose energy to their environment is through radiation. Every object emits electromagnetic radiation that depends on its temperature. For very hot objects like the sun, that radiation is visible light. For cooler objects, like a house or a person, that radiation is in the infrared and is invisible. Nonetheless, it still carries energy. Other ways that energy is lost by a warm animal to a cool environment includes conduction (direct touching of a cooler object) and convection (cooler air moving and carrying thermal energy away). See Heat Transfer for a discussion of all three.

For this problem, we'll just consider how much energy an animal needs to burn (obtain from internal chemical reactions) in order to stay warm just from radiation losses. The rate at which an object loses energy through radiation is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann equation:

Rate of energy loss = AεσT4



where T is the absolute (Kelvin) temperature, A is the area of the object, ε is the emissivity (unitless and =1 for a perfect emitter, less for anything else), and σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant:

σ = 5.67 x 10-8 J/(s m2 K4)



Consider a patient trying to sleep naked in a cool room (55 oF = 13 oC). Assume that the person being considered is a perfect emitter and absorber of radiation (ε = 1), has a surface area of about 2.5 m2, and a mass of 80 kg.

a. A person emits thermal radiation at a rate corresponding to a temperature of 37 oC and absorbs radiation at a rate (from the air and walls) corresponding to a temperature of 13 oC. Calculate the individual's net rate of energy loss due to radiation (in Watts = Joules/second).
net rate of energy loss = Watts

b. Assume the patient produces no energy to keep warm. If they have a specific heat about equal to that of water (1 Cal/kg-oC) how much would their temperature fall in one hour? (1 Cal = 1kcal = 103 cal)
ΔT = oC

c. Given that the energy density of fat is about 9 Cal/g, how many grams of fat would the person have to utilize to maintain their body temperature in that environment for one hour?
amount of fat needed = g

Answers

Answer:

a) 360.7 J/s

b) 16.23 °C

c) 34.48 g

Explanation:

The mass of the person = 80 kg

The person is a perfect emitter, ε = 1

surface area of the person = 2.5 m^2

a) If he emits radiation at 37 °C, [tex]T_{out}[/tex] = 37 + 273 = 310 K

and receives radiation at 13 °C, [tex]T_{in}[/tex] = 13 + 273 = 286 K

Rate of energy loss E = Aεσ([tex]T^{4} _{out}[/tex] - [tex]T^{4} _{in}[/tex] )

where σ = 5.67 x 10^-8 J/(s m^2 K^4)

substituting values, we have

E = 2.5 x 1 x 5.67 x 10^-8 x ([tex]310^{4}[/tex] - [tex]286^{4}[/tex]) = 360.7 J/s

b) If they have specific heat about equal to that of water = 1 Cal/kg-°C

but 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 10^3 cal

specific heat of person is therefore = 10^3 cal/kg-°C

heat loss = 360.7 J/s = 360.7 x 3600 = 1298520 J/hr

heat lost in 1 hour = 1 x 1298520 = 1298520 J

This heat lost = mcΔT

where ΔT is the temperature fall

m is the mass

c is the specific heat equivalent to that of water

the specific heat is then = 10^3 cal/kg-°C

equating, we have

1298520 = 80 x 10^3 x ΔT

1298520 = 80000ΔT

ΔT = 1298520/80000 = 16.23 °C

c) 1298520 J = 1298520/4184 = 310.35 Cal

density of fat = 9 Cal/g

gram of fat = 310.35/9 = 34.48 g


A load of 1 kW takes a current of 5 A from a 230 V supply. Calculate the power factor.

Answers

Answer:

Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Load = 1 Kw = 1000 watt

Current (I) = 5 A

Supply (V) = 230 V

Find:

Power factor.

Computation:

Power factor = watts / (V)(I)

Power factor = 1,000 / (230)(5)

Power factor = 1,000 / (1,150)

Power factor = 0.8695

Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)

Coherent light from a sodium-vapor lamp is passed through a filter that blocks everything except for light of a single wavelength. It then falls on two slits separated by 0.490 mm . In the resulting interference pattern on a screen 2.12 m away, adjacent bright fringes are separated by 2.86 mm . For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of Determining wavelength. Part A What is the wavelength of the light that falls on the slits

Answers

Answer:

λ = 6.61 x 10⁻⁷ m = 661 nm

Explanation:

From the Young's Double Slit experiment, the the spacing between adjacent bright or dark fringes is given by the following formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = fringe spacing = 2.86 mm = 2.86 x ⁻³ m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 2.12 m

d = slit separation = 0.49 mm = 0.49 x 10⁻³ m

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

2.86 x 10⁻³ m = λ(2.12 m)/(0.49 x 10⁻³ m)

(2.86 x 10⁻³ m)(0.49 x 10⁻³ m)/(2.12 m) = λ

λ = 6.61 x 10⁻⁷ m = 661 nm

Question 2.
In the US, lengths are often measured in inches, feet, yards and miles. Let's do
some conversions. The definition of the inch is: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, exactly. A foot is
12 inches and a mile is 5280 ft, exactly. A centimetre is exactly 0.01 m or 10 mm.
Sammy is 5 feet and 5.3 inches tall.
a). What is Sammy's height in Inches? (answer to 3 significant figures)
(3)
b). What is Sammy's height in Feet? (answer to 3 significant figures)
what is Sammy's hight in feet according to this statement ​

Answers

Explanation:

1 inch = 25.4 mm

1 foot = 12 inches

1 mile = 5260 feet

1 cm = 0.01 m or 10 mm

Now Sammy's height is 5 feet and 5.3 inches.

(a) We need to find Sammy's height in inches.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = 5 × 12 inches = 60 inches

Now, 5 feet and 5.3 inches = 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches

Sammy's height is 65.3 inches.

(b) We need to find Sammy's height in feet.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

[tex]1\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\ \text{feet}[/tex]

So,

[tex]5.3\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{5.3}{12}\ \text{feet}=0.4416\ \text{feet}[/tex]

5 feet and 5.3 inches = 5 feet + 0.4416 feet = 5.44 feet

Sammy's height is 5.44 feet.

) Calculate current passing in an electrical circuit if you know that the voltage is 8 volts and the resistance is 10 ohms

Answers

Explanation:

Hey, there!

Here, In question given that,

potential difference (V)= 8V

resistance (R)= 10 ohm

Now,

According to the Ohm's law,

V= R×I { where I = current}

or, I = V/R

or, I = 8/10

Therefore, current is 4/5 A or 0.8 A.

(A= ampere = unit of current).
