You have been asked to find out the best material for insulating a hot water tank.
You have three materials: aluminium foil, cotton wool and expanded polystyrene.
Describe an experiment to compare the effectiveness of these materials.
Include in your description the way you would use your results to decide the most
effective material.

Answers

Answer 1

The most effective insulating material is polystyrene.

What is insulating material?

The material which isolates the body and doesn't allow heat and mass to flow out of the control system.

The insulating material should have the lowest thermal conductivity.

Polystyrene foam has low thermal conductivity which makes it a great insulator to heat.

Aluminum foil can be an effective insulating material because it doesn't flow heat out into the environment.

Cotton wool is effective, but not it is not fire resistant.

Thus, the best effective insulating material is polystyrene.

In a series circuit the current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component.

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component.

A sample of oxygen gas with a volume of 3.0 m3 is at 100 C. The gas is heated so that
it expands at a constant pressure to a final volume of 6.0m^3 what is the final temperature of the gas?

Answers

[tex]\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}[/tex]

According to Charles law, if pressure remains constant, volume varies directly with temperature. so we can infer that :

[tex] \qquad\sf{\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}} [/tex]

So, we can use this formula to find out the final temperature of the gas ~

Note : Take temperature in Kelvin ( 100°C = 373 K )

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{3}{373} = \dfrac{6}{x} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{6}{3} \times 373 [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 2 \times 373[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x =74 6 \: K[/tex]

Now, convert it to Celsius ~

i.e 746 - 273 = 473° C

So, the final temperature of the gas will be equal to 473° C

Answers

Answer:

R = r / 4 = 15 / 4 = 3.75 ohms       total resistance

part II

If bulbs are in series R = 5 * 15 ohm = 75 ohm total resistance

P = I V = V / R * V = V^2 / R

P = 115^2 / 75 = 176 watts

If the bulbs are in parallel then      

R = 15 / 5 =  3 ohms for the circuit

I = 115 / 3 = 38.3 amps for circuit

What is Atmospheric pressure ?

It is pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere at sea level. its value is 101,325 Pascal which we call it as 1 atmospheric pressure expressed as 1 atm. i.e. 1 atm = 101,325 N/m².

Like water has pressure when we go long inside the water, our atmosphere has also pressure from top to surface of the earth.

There are different layers of atmosphere from bottom to top which are Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere.

Each layer has its own range and weight.

When we are on the surface of the earth, all layers of atmosphere will apply pressure. but when we increase altitude(height), the number layers reduces and its weight too.

Hence as altitude increases, air pressure decreases.

From the experimental set-up by maya, we can determine the effect of thickness of wire on strength of electromagnet.

R ∝ 1/A

where;

R is resistance of the wiresA is area of the wires (from thickness or radius of the wire)

As the thickness of the wire increases, the area of the wire increases and the resistance of the wire will decrease. As the resistance of the wire decreases, the current flowing in the wire increases as well.

The resistance of the 1000 W microwave oven that gets plugged into a 110 v outlet will be 10 ohms.

What is resistance?

Resistance is a type of opposition force due to which the flow of current is reduced in the material or wire. Resistance is the enemy of the flow of current.

The given data in the problem is;

P is the power= 1000 W
