Why does water feel cool when it evaporates

2 answers:

5 0

Basically, when water evaporates, it always absorbs energy. What happens is that a molecule steals surface energy for all molecules until it is hot enough to evaporate. This is how the evaporation process happens. For this reason, the surface cools because the molecules steal the heat from the medium. This can easily be noticed when we sweat and after the water molecules evaporate from our body, it cools.

First, it makes your skin feel cooler when it's wet. And when it evaporates it removes some heat. But sweat will only evaporate in an environment where there isn't muchwater in the air. In a place with high humidity, there're already lots of water molecules in the air.

You create a ramp using two text books and a 0.50m board. Using a timer you determine that a cart can roll down the ramp in 0.55

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s, and the acceleration would be 3.30m/s^2.

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity to be zero, we can obtain the velocity at the bottom of the ramp using the kinematics equations:

$v=v_0+at\\\\v^2=v_0^2+2ad$

Dividing the second equation by the first one, we obtain:

$v=\frac{v_0^2+2ad}{v_0+at}$

And, since $v_0=0$ , then:

$v=\frac{2ad}{at}\\\\v=\frac{2d}{t}\\\\v=\frac{2(0.50m)}{0.55s}\\\\v=1.81m/s$

It means that the velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s.

We could use this data, plus any of the two initial equations, to determine the acceleration:

$v=v_0+at\\\\\implies a=\frac{v}{t}\\\\a=\frac{1.81m/s}{0.55s}\\\\a=3.30m/s^2$

So the acceleration is 3.30m/s^2.

What are the units of radiation?

Ksenya-84 [330]

The radiation dose absorbed by a person is measured using the conventional unit rad or the SI unit gray. The biological risk of exposure to radiation is measured using the conventional unit rem or the SI unit sievert.

I hope this helps!

20 kg object travels 28 meter and stops. coefficient friction= 0.085 how much work was done by friction?

Tresset [83]

Assuming it is on a horizontal surface:
friction = μR
R = 20g (g is gravity 9.81)
so Friction = 0.085 x 20g
Work done is force x distance
so Work done = 0.085 x 20g x 28
= 466.956 J

A source of sound is kept in a jar in a vacuum. Air is slowly introduced in to the jar. What happens to the sound coming out of

timama [110]

The loudness of the sound increases gradually as the air is slowly introduced in to the jar. This is because sound needs a physical medium and in a vacuum there is none. The air provides that medium and as it is introduced, the transfer of sound energy increases
