You then measure Polly's internal temperature to be 13oC, which is quite a drop from the normal human body temperature of 37oC.

And weighing Polly, you find her mass to be 60 kg. Now, subtracting the heat warming the water from the surrounding environment, we assume Polly gave up only 5000 kJ of thermal energy to warm the bath. With these numbers, determine Polly's specific heat in units J/(kgoC).

Answer:

The specific heat is 3.47222 J/kg°C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 13°C

Temperature = 37°C

Mass = 60 Kg

Energy = 5000 J

We need to calculate the specific heat

Using formula of energy

Q= mc\Delta T

c =\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}

Put the value into the formula

c=\dfrac{5000}{60\times(37-13)}

c=3.47222\ J/kg^{\circ}C

Hence, The specific heat is 3.47222 J/kg°C.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4.25 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Change in velocity considering the x component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_x= 16cos 45^{\circ}-24=-12.6862915 m/s

Change in velocity considering the y component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_y= 16sin 45^{\circ}-0=11.3137085 m/s

Resultant change in velocity=\sqrt {(-12.6862915 m/s)^{2}+(11.3137085 m/s)^{2}}=16.9982938 m/s

Acceleration= change in velocity per unit time hence

a= \frac {16.9982938}{4}=4.24957345\approx 4.25 m/s^{2}

Gasoline burns inside a car’s engine. how does this fuel enable a car to move?
Svetllana [295]
<span> The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine.
Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally.
There is such a thing as an external combustion engine. A steam engine in old-fashioned trains and steam boats is the best example of an external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) in a steam engine burns outside the engine to create steam, and the steam creates motion inside the engine. Internal combustion is a lot more efficient (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an internal combustion engine is a lot smaller than an equivalent external combustion engine. This explains why we don't see any cars using steam engines.

To understand the basic idea behind how a reciprocating internal combustion engine works, it is helpful to have a good mental image of how "internal combustion" works.

One good example is an old Revolutionary War cannon. You have probably seen these in movies, where the soldiers load the cannon with gun powder and a cannon ball and light it. That is internal combustion, but it is hard to imagine that having anything to do with engines.

A potato cannon uses the basic principle behind any reciprocating internal combustion engine: If you put a tiny amount of high-energy fuel (like gasoline) in a small, enclosed space and ignite it, an incredible amount of energy is released in the form of expanding gas. You can use that energy to propel a potato 500 feet. In this case, the energy is translated into potato motion. You can also use it for more interesting purposes. For example, if you can create a cycle that allows you to set off explosions like this hundreds of times per minute, and if you can harness that energy in a useful way, what you have is the core of a car engine! </span>

a bicycle accelerates at 1 m/s² from an initial velocity of 4 m/s² for 10s. Find the distance moved by it during this interval o
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

Acceleration, a=\frac {v-u}{t} where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, t is the time taken

Substituting 1 m/s^{2} for a,  4 m/s for u and 10 s for t then

1*10=v-4

v=14 m/s

From kinematic equations

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

Making s the subject then

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2a}=\frac {14^{2}-4^{2}}{2\times 1}=90 m

Estimate the radiation pressure due to a bulb that emits 25 W of EM radiation at a distance of 9.5 cm from the center of the bul
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Given Information:  

Power of bulb = w = 25 W atts

distance = d = 9.5 cm = 0.095 m

Required Information:  

Radiation Pressure = ?

Answer:

Radiation Pressure =7.34x10⁻⁷ N/m²

Explanation:

We know that radiation pressure is given by

P = I/c

Where I is the intensity of radiation and is given by

I = w/4πd²

Where w is the power of the bulb in watts and d is the distance from the center of the bulb.

So the radiation pressure becomes

P = w/c4πd²

Where c = 3x10⁸ m/s is the speed of light

P = 25/(3x10⁸*4*π*0.095²)

P = 7.34x10⁻⁷ N/m²

Therefore, the radiation pressure due to a 25 W bulb at a distance of 9.5 cm from the center of the bulb is 7.34x10⁻⁷ N/m²
