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.

when approaching the front of an idling jet engine, the hazard area extends forward of the engine approximately
Dominik [7]

when approaching the front of an idling jet engine, the hazard area extends forward of the engine approximately 25 feet.

<h3>What impact, if any, would jet fuel and aviation gasoline have on a turbine engine?</h3>

Tetraethyl lead, which is present in gasoline, deposits itself on the turbine blades. Because jet fuel has a higher viscosity than aviation gasoline, it may retain impurities with greater ease.

Once the gasoline charge has been cleared, start the engine manually or with an electric starter while cutting the ignition and using the maximum throttle.

On the final approach, the aeroplane needs to be re-trimmed to account for the altered aerodynamic forces. A substantial nose-down tendency results from the airflow producing less lift on the wings and less downward force on the horizontal stabiliser due to the reduced power and slower velocity.

A bird flying straight upward at 5 m/s drops a berry when it is 300 m above the ground. How fast is the berry going when it hits
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

v=77.62 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

h= - 300 m

speed of the bird ,u= 5 m/s

Lets take Speed of the berry when it hit the ground = v m/s

we know that ,if object is moving upward

v² = u² - 2 g h

u=Initial speed

v=Final speed

h=Height

Now by putting the values

v² = u² - 2 g h

v² = 5² - 2 x 10 x (-300)                ( take g = 10 m/s²)

v² =25 + 20 x 300

v² ==25 + 6000

v² =6025

v=77.62 m/s

Therefore the final speed of the berry will be 77.62 m/s.

Which statement best explains how a planet affects the orbit of a comet as the comet passes by the planet?
mezya [45]
Comets orbit the sun just like planets do. Except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. Thanks to the laws of gravity comets obey the same laws. A comets orbit takes it very close to the sun and then far away again.

Research the potential for a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon. What are two of the biggest concerns with a large earthqu
Sphinxa [80]

There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .

Explanation:

Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.

So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.

The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check  on any gas leakages.

Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.
