An average sleeping person metabolizes at a rate of about 80 W by digesting food or burning fat. Typically, 20% of this energy g

oes into bodily functions, such as cell repair, pumping blood, and other uses of mechanical energy, while the rest goes to heat. Most people get rid of all this excess heat by transferring it (by conduction and the flow of blood) to the surface of the body, where it is radiated away. The normal internal temperature of the body (where the metabolism takes place) is 37∘C37 ∘ C, and the skin is typically 7C∘7C ∘ cooler. By how much does the person’s entropy change per second due to this heat transfer?

Answer:

<em> -4.7 x 10^-3 J/K-s</em>

Explanation:

The Power generated by metabolizing food = 80 W

The watt W is equivalent to the Joules per sec J/s

therefor power = 80 J/s

20% of this energy is not used for heating, amount available for heating is

==> H = 80% of 80 = 0.8 x 80 = 64 J/s

The inner body temperature = 37 °C = 273 + 37 = 310 K

The entropy of this inner body ΔS = ΔH/T

ΔS = 64/310 = 0.2065 J/K-s

The skin temperature is cooler than the inner body by 7 °C

Temperature of the skin =  37 - 7 = 30 °C = 273 + 30 = 303 K

The entropy of the skin = ΔS = ΔH/T

ΔS = 64/303 = 0.2112 J/K-s

change in entropy of the person's body = (entropy of hot region: inner body) - (entropy of cooler region: skin)

==> 0.2065 - 0.2112 =<em> -4.7 x 10^-3 J/K-s</em>

stellarik [79]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Technological advancements in astronomy have led to the development of thousands of products such as

new materials, medical devices, and communications satellites.

For example, the production of instruments like telescopes, microscopes, and other measuring devices now enables us to identify things that we couldn't examine with the naked eye.

Similarly, the development of communication satellites has led to the emergence and improvements in the mobile network industry.

How do you convert from picoseconds to milliseconds using the conversion factors?
andrew11 [14]

There are 10⁹ picoseconds in 1 Ms

1 picosecond= 10¹² s

1 Ms = 10⁻³ s

so the number of picoseconds in one Ms=(10⁻³ s/1 Ms) * (10¹² Ps/ 1 s)=10⁹

Thus there are 10⁹ picoseconds in 1 Ms

The "steam" above a freshly made cup of instant coffee is really water vapor droplets condensing after evaporating from the hot
KiRa [710]

Answer:

T_{f} = 85.7 ° C

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the calorimetry heat ratios, let's start with the heat lost by the evaporation of coffee, since it changes from liquid to vapor state

      Q₁ = m L

Where m is the evaporated mass (m = 2.00 103-3kg) and L is 2.26 106 J / kg, where we use the latent heat of the water

     Q₁ = 2.00 10⁻³ 2.26 10⁶

     Q1 = 4.52 10³ J

Now the heat of coffee in the cup, which does not change state is

     Q coffee = M c_{e} ( T_{f} -T_{i})

Since the only form of energy transfer is terminated, the heat transferred is equal to the evaporated heat

    Qc = - Q₁

    M ce (T_{f} -T_{i}) = - Q₁

The coffee dough left in the cup after evaporation is

    M = 250 -2 = 248 g = 0.248 kg

   T_{f} -Ti = -Q1 / M c_{e}

   T_{f} = Ti - Q1 / M c_{e}

Since coffee is essentially water, let's use the specific heat of water,

    c_{e}= 4186 J / kg ºC

Let's calculate

     T_{f} = 90.0 - 4.52 103 / (0.248 4.186 103)

     T_{f} = 90- 4.35

     T_{f} = 85.65 ° C

     T_{f} = 85.7 ° C

Two thin concentric spherical shells of radii r1 and r2 (r1 &lt; r2) contain uniform surface charge densities V1 and V2, respect
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

So,

a)  0 < r < r1 :

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

Hence, E = 0 for r < r1

b)  r1 < r < r2:

Electric field =?

Let, us consider the Gaussian Surface,

E x 4 \pi r^{2}  = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} }

So,

Rearranging the above equation to get Electric field, we will get:

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

Multiply and divide by r1^{2}

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } x \frac{r1^{2} }{r1^{2} }

Rearranging the above equation, we will get Electric Field for r1 < r < r2:

E= (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

c) r > r2 :

Electric Field = ?

E x 4 \pi r^{2}  = \frac{Q1 + Q2}{E_{0} }

Rearranging the above equation for E:

E = \frac{Q1+Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } + \frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

As we know from above, that:

\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } =  (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

Then, Similarly,

\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } = (σ2 x r2^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

So,

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } + \frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

Replacing the above equations to get E:

E = (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2}) + (σ2 x r2^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

Now, for

d) Under what conditions,  E = 0, for r > r2?

For r > r2, E =0 if

σ1 x r1^{2} = - σ2 x r2^{2}
