Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s

kin from steam as opposed to hot water at the same temperature.
Assume that water and steam, initially at 100?C, are cooled down to skin temperature, 34?C, when they come in contact with your skin. Assume that the steam condenses extremely fast. We will further assume a constant specific heat capacity c=4190J/(kg?K) for both liquid water and steam.

How much heat H1 is transferred to the skin by 25.0 g of steam onto the skin? The latent heat of vaporization for steam is L=2.256

Answer:

Q_T=63313.5\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • temperature of skin, T_s=34^{\circ}C
  • initial temperature of steam vapour, T_v=100^{\circ}C
  • latent heat of steam, L=2256\ J.g^{-1}
  • mass of steam, m=25\ g
  • specific heat of water, c=4190\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}=4.19\ J.g^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • final temperature, T_f=34^{\circ}C

<em>Assuming that no heat is lost in the surrounding.</em>

<u>We know:</u>

Q=m.c.\Delta T

<u>Now the total heat given by the steam to form water at the given conditions:</u>

Q_T=Q_{Lv}+Q_w ..............................(1)

where:

Q_{Lv}= latent heat given out by vapour to form water of 100°C

Q_w= heat given by water of 100°C to come at 34°C.

putting respective values in eq. (1)

Q_T=m(L+c.\Delta T)

Q_T=25(2256+4.19\times 66)

Q_T=63313.5\ J

is the heat transferred to the skin.

A train moving at 5 m/sec passed a track gang and then accelerated uniformly a rate of 1.2 m/sec/sec for 5 min. How far did the
Amanda [17]

Answer:

S = V0 t + 1/2 a t^2

S = 5 m/s * 300 s + 1/2 * 1.2 m/s * (300 s^2)

S = 1500 m + .6 * 90000 m = 55,500 m

Check:     V0 = 5 m/s

                V2 = V0 + a t  = 5 + 1.2 * 300 = 365 m/s

Vav = (V1 + V2) / 2 = (5 + 365) / 2 = 185 m/s     (note uniform motion)

S = 185 * 300 = 55,500 m

We calculated V2 above at 365 m/s  the speed after 300 sec

<span>Since Florence is east, then Florence is 5 miles due west of Paris (30-25). Then, using the Pythagorean theorem with 45 miles as the length and 5 miles as the width, the square root of (45^2+5^2) is 45.277 miles.</span>

There are a few reasons that one teams could win. It depends if the on of the  teams has a better grip on the rope or not or maybe one off the teams has more friction between the ground and there shoes. So really it no matter what one of the teams will win.
