Explanation:

When we touch the screen of a television or computer we get a slight shock on a dry day. It is due to the accumulation of the electric charges on the screen.

We get slight shock due to the electrostatic force between the hair on the skin and the screen of the television.  When we touch the screen then the charges discharge through our body.

A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer

Given,

Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.

refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33

refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52

When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.

The latent heat of vaporization of H₂O at body temperature (37°C) is 2.42 x 10⁶ J/kg. To cool the body of a 60.4-kg jogger [aver
Darya [45]

Answer:

<h2>0.094 kg</h2>

Explanation:

        Latent heat of vaporization of H_{2}O at 37°C is 2.42\times10^{6}\text{ }\frac{J}{kg}.

        When the sweat on our body evaporates, it absorbs energy from our body to overcome it's Latent heat of vaporisation. Thus our body cools down when sweat evaporates.

       So, Energy absorbed by sweat to evaporate = Energy lost by body

Specific heat capacity of human body = 3500\text{ }\frac{J}{kg\text{ }C^{o}}. Jogger weights 60.4 kg. Body temperature decreases by 1.08\text{ }C^{o}

       Energy absorbed from body = mS\Delta T=3500\times60.4\times 1.08 =228312\text{ }J

       228312\text{ }J=\text{Energy absorbed by sweat}=mC=m\times2.42\times10^{6}\\m=0.094\text{ }kg

∴ 0.094 kg of sweat has evaporated from the body.
