If 170 degrees F air feels warm and comfortable to us, why does swimming in 70 degree F water feel cold ?

1 answer:

3 0

Your body loses heat to the water faster than it loses heat to the air. Water has a higher heat capacity, so it is better at extracting heat than air is.

Imagine an alternate universe where all of the quantum number rules were identical to ours except m_{s} had three allowed values

marishachu [46]

Answer:

so in a given orbital there can be 3 electrons.

Explanation:

The Pauli exclusion principle states that all the quantum numbers of an electron cannot be equal, if the spatial part of the wave function is the same, the spin part of the wave function determines how many electrons fit in each orbital.

In the case of having two values, two electrons change. In the case of three allowed values, one electron fits for each value, so in a given orbital there can be 3 electrons.

E<br> 3.6 What force is needed to give a mass of<br> 20 kg an acceleration of 5 m/s??

luda_lava [24]

Explanation:

Mass(m)= 20kg
Acceleration (a)= 5m/s²
Force(F)= ?

We know that,

F=ma
F=20×5
F=100N

Hence, the needed force is 100N.

In series circuit, Req = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ···

In parallel circuit, $\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{R1} + \frac{1}{R2} + \frac{1}{R3} +...$

total resistance in the upper branch = R₂ + R₃ = R₂ + 2

$\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{R2+R3} + \frac{1}{R1}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{R2+2} +\frac{1}{6}$

R₂ + 2 = 12

R₂ = 10Ω

$\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{R2+R3} + \frac{1}{R1}$

$\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{2+1} + \frac{1}{4}$

Req = 1.7Ω

n 38 g rifle bullet traveling at 410 m/s buries itself in a 4.2 kg pendulum hanging on a 2.8 m long string, which makes the pend

Kitty [74]

Answer:

68cm

Explanation:

You can solve this problem by using the momentum conservation and energy conservation. By using the conservation of the momentum you get

$p_f=p_i\\mv_1+Mv_2=(m+M)v$

m: mass of the bullet

M: mass of the pendulum

v1: velocity of the bullet = 410m/s

v2: velocity of the pendulum =0m/s

v: velocity of both bullet ad pendulum joint

By replacing you can find v:

$(0.038kg)(410m/s)+0=(0.038kg+4.2kg)v\\\\v=3.67\frac{m}{s}$

this value of v is used as the velocity of the total kinetic energy of the block of pendulum and bullet. This energy equals the potential energy for the maximum height reached by the block:

$E_{fp}=E_{ki}\\\\(m+M)gh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

g: 9.8/s^2

h: height

By doing h the subject of the equation and replacing you obtain:

$(0.038kg+4.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)h=\frac{1}{2}(0.038kg+4.2kg)(3.67m/s)^2\\\\h=0.68m$

hence, the heigth is 68cm

After a collision between two different massed objects; the larger objects accelerate at a faster rate than the smaller object?

Nitella [24]

Answer: Things continue doing what they are doing unless a force is applied to it. Objects have a natural tendency to resist change. This is INERTIA. Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects, so true

Explanation:

Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop. The Cadillac has more of a tendency to stay stationary (or continue moving), and resist a change in motion than a bicycle.
