The heat absorbed by a persons hand is 26,359.2 J.

<h3>Heat absorbed</h3>

The quantity of heat absorbed by the persons hand is heat gained or transferred from the hot water to cold hand. This is based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The quantity of heat absorbed is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔθ

where;

  • Q is the quantity of heat absorbed
  • m is mass of the liquid
  • Δθ is change in temperature

Q = 100 x 4.184 x (100 - 37)

Q = 26,359.2 J

Thus, the heat absorbed by a persons hand is 26,359.2 J.

A satellite dish is in the shape of a parabolic surface. Signals coming from a satellite strike the surface of the dish and are
RSB [31]

Answer: 6.125 ft

Explanation:

If this dish has the form of a concave upward parabola and its vertex p is at the origin, its corresponding equation is:

x^{2}=4py

Where:

x is the radius, which can be found by dividing the diameter d=14 ft by half. Hence x=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{14 ft}{2}=7 ft

y=2 ft is the depth

p is the vertex of the parabola, where its base is

Finding p:

p=\frac{x^{2}}{4y}

p=\frac{(7 ft)^{2}}{4(2 ft)}

Finally:

p=6.125 ft This is where the the receiver should be placed

A force gives a 5.0 kg object an acceleration of 2.0 m/s 2. The same force would give a 20 kg object an acceleration of _____. 0
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

m = 5 kg

a = 2 m/s²

to find the force that accelerates the 4 kg object @ 2 m/s²

F = ma = 5 kg x 2 m/s² = 10 N

To find what acceleration 10 N would give a 20 kg object

a = F/m = 10 N/20 kg = 0.5 m/s
