An electric kitchen range has a total wall area of 1.40 m2 and is insulated with a layer of fiber glass that has a temperature of 175°C and its outside surface is 35°C. The fiber glass has a thermal conductivity of 0.040 W m-1 K-1. Calculate the rate of flow of heat through the insulation, assuming the fibre as a flat slab of area 1.40 m2.
How might the rate of conduction be affected if the fiber absorbs moisture? Justify your answer.

A box at rest is accelerated by a rope attached with a motor as shown in the Fig 2.1. The velocity-time graph given below shows the pattern of its motion for 20 s.
If the box is pulled with constant unbalanced force 10 N. Show that the initial acceleration of the box is 2.5 ms-2, and calculate its mass.

A boy is operating a remote-controlled toy car on a horizontal circular track, as shown in Figure. The track has a radius of 1.8 m and the car travels around the track with a constant speed.
(i) Explain why the car is accelerating, even though it is travelling at a constant speed.
(ii) The car has a mass of 0.50 kg. The boy now increases the speed of the car to 6.0 m s-1. The total radial friction between the car and the track has a maximum value of 7.0 N. Show by calculation that the car cannot continue to travel in a circular path.
