A lady perspires. How much liquid water (as a percentage of the mass of the lady) must evaporate to lower the temperature of sai

Answer:

0.929%

Explanation:

m = mass of water evaporated

M = mass of the lady

c = specific heat of human body = 4200 JK⁻¹kg⁻¹

L = Latent heat of evaporation of water = 2260000 Jkg⁻¹

\Delta T = Drop in temperature = 5 C

Using conservation of heat

m L = Mc \Delta T \\m (2260000) = M (4200) (5)\\m (2260000) = M (21000)\\m = 0.00929 M \\\frac{m}{M} = 0.00929\\\frac{m(100)}{M} = (0.00929) (100)\\\\\frac{m(100)}{M} = 0.929

A person approaches a flat mirror at a speed of 0.25 m / s. How fast is he approaching his image?
Bezzdna [24]
  • Flat mirror is given here
  • We know that in a flat mirror the distance of object from the mirror is equal to distance of image from the mirror i.e v=u
  • Only the side of image changes ime left is seemed right.

So the speed remains same 0.25m/s.

g n diffraction, the formula for minima is given by a times s i n (theta )equals m lambda, where a is the width of the slit, the
ki77a [65]

Answer:

θ = 22.2

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise

        a sin θ = m λ

The extension of the third zero is requested (m = 3)

They indicate the wavelength  λ = 630 nm = 630 10⁻⁹ m and the width of the slit  a = 5 10⁻⁶ m

         sin  θ = m λ / a

         sin  θ = 3 630 10⁻⁹ / 5 10⁻⁶

         sin  θ = 3.78 10⁻¹ = 0.378

          θ = sin⁻¹  0.378

         

to better see the result let's find the angle in radians

          θ = 0.3876 rad

let's reduce to degrees

         θ = 0.3876 rad (180º /π rad)

         θ = 22.2º

Before being engulfed, matter that is pulled into a black hole should become very hot and emit _____.
miss Akunina [59]
A black hole is a cosmological object that is created when a massive star comes to the end of its life and collapses under its own gravity. Black holes have massive gravitational fields  that even light cannot escape beyond a certain distance. Before being engulfed, matter that is pulled into a black hole should become very hot and emit electromagnetic radiation.
