Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. If a woman rubs her hands back and forth for a to

Answer:

0.178 °C

Explanation:

Given:

The frictional force, F = 48 N

Number of rubs, n = 18

Distance covered per rub, d = 7.16 cm = 0.0716 m

Total distance covered in 18 rubs, D = 0.0716 × 18 = 1.288 m

mass of the tissues warmed, m = 0.1 kg

Now,

Work done, W = Force × Displacement

W = 48 × 1.288 = 61.8624 J

Now,

Work done is the change in heat

W = ΔQ = 61.8624 J

also,

ΔQ = mCΔT

where, C is the specific heat

for human tissue, C = 3470 J/kg°C

thus,

61.8624 J = 0.1 × 3470 × ΔT

or

ΔT = 0.178 °C

Hence, the change in temperature is 0.178 °C

magine that two balls, a basketball and a much larger exercise ball, are dropped from a parking garage. If both the mass and rad
DerKrebs [107]

Without counting wind resistance, They will both reach the ground at the same time. If we apply the concept of kinematics, such as the equation vf^2=vi^2 + 2ad. This equation doesn't count how big or how heavy the mass is, it only focuses on how fast where they in the start and how far are both of them from the ground. So if they both have the same distance and same initial veloctity, then they will reach the ground at the same time.

For example, Try dropping a pen and a paper(Vertically) at the same height, you'll see they'll reach the ground at the same time.

If you count wind resistance, the heavier ball will hit the ground faster, because the air molecules will resist the lighter ball compared to the heavier ball.

What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line?
Sphinxa [80]
Acceleration occurs when there is a change in speed or direction. If it travels in a straight line, there is no speed or change in direction as it is constant througout, hence 0 acceleration.

hope this helps!! ✨

Question 23
bonufazy [111]

If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

с  Stay the same

Explanation:

  • The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
  • Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
  • Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
  • The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are  force and mass.
  • Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.
