Answer:

1.8A

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to find the effective resistance in the circuit.

For the two parallel resistors, the effective resistance is;

1/R = 1/7 + 1/15

R = 8.57Ω

Now let's connect it in series with the series resistor

R = 8.57 + 3.8 = 12.37Ω

This is the total effective resistance

The total current is therefore

22.3/8.57 = 1.8A

This is also the current flowing through the 3.8 resistor since it is connected in series

The rectangular frame is composed of four perimeter two-force members and two cables AC and BD which are incapable of supporting
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Your question is lacking some information attached is the missing part and the solution

A) AB = AD = BD = 0, BC = LC

    AC = \frac{5L}{3}T, CD = \frac{4L}{3} C

B) AB = AD = BC = BD = 0

   AC = \frac{5L}{3} T, CD = \frac{4L}{3} C

Explanation:

A) Forces in all members due to the load L in position A

assuming that BD goes slack from an inspection of Joint B

AB = 0 and BC = LC from Joint D, AD = 0 and CD = 4L/3 C

B) steps to arrive to the answer is attached below

AB = AD = BC = BD = 0

AC = \frac{5L}{3} T,  CD = \frac{4L}{3}C

An excited electron in an Na atom emits radiation at a wavelength 589 nm and returns to the ground state. If the mean time for t
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:   Inherent width in the emission line: 9.20 × 10⁻¹⁵ m or 9.20 fm

                length of the photon emitted: 6.0 m

Explanation:

The emitted wavelength is 589 nm and the transition time is ∆t = 20 ns.

Recall the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle:-

                                 ∆t∆E ≈ h ( Planck's Constant)

The transition time ∆t corresponds to the energy that is ∆E

E=h/t = \frac{(1/2\pi)*6.626*10x^{-34} J.s}{20*10x^{-9} } = 5.273*10x^{-27} J =  3.29* 10^{-8} eV.

The corresponding uncertainty in the emitted frequency ∆v is:

∆v= ∆E/h = (5.273*10^-27 J)/(6.626*10^ J.s)=  7.958 × 10^6 s^-1

To find the corresponding spread in wavelength and hence the line width ∆λ, we can differentiate

                                                    λ = c/v

                                                    dλ/dv = -c/v² = -λ²/c

Therefore,

      ∆λ = (λ²/c)*(∆v) = {(589*10⁻⁹ m)²/(3.0*10⁸ m/s)} * (7.958*10⁶ s⁻¹)

                                 =  9.20 × 10⁻¹⁵ m or 9.20 fm

     The length of the photon (<em>l)</em> is

l = (light velocity) × (emission duration)

  = (3.0 × 10⁸  m/s)(20 × 10⁻⁹ s) = 6.0 m

(3) Calculate the heat flux through a sheet of brass 7.5 mm (0.30 in.) thick if the temperatures at the two faces are 150°Cand 5
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

a.) 1.453MW/m2,  b.)  2,477,933.33 BTU/hr  c.) 22,733.33 BTU/hr  d.) 1,238,966.67 BTU/hr

Explanation:

Heat flux is the rate at which thermal (heat) energy is transferred per unit surface area. It is measured in W/m2

Heat transfer(loss or gain) is unit of energy per unit time. It is measured in W or BTU/hr

1W = 3.41 BTU/hr

Given parameters:

thickness, t = 7.5mm = 7.5/1000 = 0.0075m

Temperatures 150 C = 150 + 273 = 423 K

                        50 C = 50 + 273 = 323 K

Temperature difference, T = 423 - 323 = 100 K

We are assuming steady heat flow;

a.) Heat flux, Q" = kT/t

K= thermal conductivity of the material

The thermal conductivity of brass, k = 109.0 W/m.K

Heat flux, Q" = \frac{109 * 100}{0.0075} = 1,453,333.33 W/m^{2} \\ Heat flux, Q" = 1.453MW/m^{2} \\

b.) Area of sheet, A = 0.5m2

Heat loss, Q = kAT/t

Heat loss, Q = \frac{109*0.5*100}{0.0075} = 726,666.667W

Heat loss, Q = 726,666.667 * 3.41 = 2,477,933.33 BTU/hr

c.) Material is now given as soda lime glass.

Thermal conductivity of soda lime glass, k is approximately 1W/m.K

Heat loss, Q=\frac{1*0.5*100}{0.0075} = 6,666.67W

Heat loss, Q = 6,666.67 * 3.41 = 22,733.33 BTU/hr

d.) Thickness, t is given as 15mm = 15/1000 = 0.015m

Heat loss, Q=\frac{109*0.5*100}{0.015} =363,333.33W

Heat loss, Q = 363,333.33 * 3.41 = 1,238,966.67 BTU/hr

Oliver is designing a new children’s slide to increase the speed at which a child can descend. His first design involved steel b
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) Steel becomes too hot in the Sun and can burn the children

Explanation:

The properties of steel includes;

Low specific heat capacity, high thermal and electrical toughness, high hardness, high tensile strength, high yield strength, appreciable elongation, high fatigue strength, can easily corrode, high malleability and ability to creep

Therefore, due to the low specific heat capacity, which is 0.511 J/(g·°C) and high conductivity of steel which is about 32 W/(m·k), the temperature of the steel can rapidly rise and the hot steel surface can readily conduct the heat, (due to the temperature difference) to other bodies that come in contact
