Explain why your hands feel cool if they get wet?

Physics
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

How hot or cold you feel depends on the rate at which your body is losing heat to the environment

Water on your skin acts pretty much like sweat. Water is more thermally conductive than air; therefore, the skin loses its heat to it much faster than it would to air.

Also, because water evaporates, it carries heat away from the skin and this increases the rate at which the skin loses its heat. The faster heat loss from the skin to water is what makes us feel cold when we are wet. But of course, the temperature of water has to be lower than the skin for this to occur, which is usually the case.

How the behavior of waves is affected by a medium
Schach [20]
The medium determines the speed of the wave traveling in it, which also can have a number of other effects, including how much the wave bends (refracts), whether it reflects, etc.
Because waves move through space, they must have a velocity. The velocity of a wave is a function of the type of wave, and the medium it travels through. Electromagnetic waves moving through a vacuum, for instance, travel at roughly 3 x

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 0.10 km high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 65 m horizontally
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

height of building = 0.1 km

ball strikes horizontally to ground at = 65 m    

speed at which the ball strike = ?

vertical velocity  = 0 m/s

time at which the ball strike

s = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 100}{9.8}}

t = 4.53 s

vertical velocity at the time  4.53 s = g × t = 9.8 × 4.53 = 44.39 m/s

horizontal velocity = \dfrac{65}{4.53} =14.35 m/s

speed of the ball = \sqrt{44.39^2+14.35^2}

                             = 46.65 m/s

hence, the speed of the ball just before it strike the ground = 47 m/s

The correct answer is option B

A physicist does 100 joules of work on a simple machine that raise a box of bioks through a heigjt of 0.2metres. if the efficien
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

Explanation:

Given;

work done by the physicist,w = 100 J

height through which the book is raised, h = 0.2 m

efficiency of machine = 60% = 0.6

The useful work done by the machine is calculated as;

useful work = 0.6 x 100 = 60 J

The wasted energy = 100 J - 60 J

The wasted energy = 40 J

The wasted energy by the machine is possibly converted to thermal energy by the frictional part of the machine.

Therefore, the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.
