During a rodeo, a clown runs 7.7 m north, turns 49.9 degrees east of north, and runs 6.4 m. Then after waiting for the bull to come near, the clown turns due east and runs 19.8 m to exit the arena. The magnitude of the clown’s displacement is 27 m.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As the clown is running in the north direction for about 7.7 m and then he turns 49.9 degrees east of north. In the east of north, he covers a distance of 6.4 m and then turns east to exit the arena after covering a distance of 19.8 m. Let’s have a simple diagram to easily understand the problem.

In first step, the clown runs 7.7 m in north direction, so the image will be  as in fig 1. Then he takes a direction of north east and covers a distance of 6.4 m, so the image will be modified as in fig 2. Then after the bull comes, he turns east and runs 19.8 m to exit the arena, so the image will be as in figure 3.

So, the extension of North line and the East line at a point shown as the dotted line in the above image, forms the total displacement as the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle. The extended dotted lines is nothing but the horizontal and vertical components of the angle 49.9 degree.

By using Pythagoras theorem, the total displacement can be found as

\text { Total displacement }=\sqrt{(o p p)^{2}+(a d j)^{2}}

\text { Distance covered by the clown in east direction }=(6.4 \times \cos 49.9)+19.8=23.9 \mathrm{m}

Similarly, the adjacent side of this imaginary triangle is the distance covered by the clown in the North direction.

\text { Distance covered by the clown in north direction }=6.4 \sin 49.9+7.7=12.6 \mathrm{m}

Thus, the total displacement covered by the clown is

\text { Total displacement }=\sqrt{(23.9)^{2}+(12.6)^{2}}=\sqrt{571.21+158.76}=\sqrt{729.97}=27 \mathrm{m}

Thus, the total displacement by the clown is 27 m.

What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 70.0 kg man to cool his body 1.00 ∘C? The heat of vaporization of water at
romanna [79]

Answer:

100 cc

Explanation:

Heat released in cooling human body by t degree

= mass of the body x specific heat of the body x t

Substituting the data given

Heat released by the body

= 70 x 3480 x 1

= 243600 J

Mass of water to be evaporated

= 243600 / latent heat of vaporization of water

= 243600 / 2420000

= .1 kg

= 100 g

volume of water

= mass / density

= 100 / 1

100 cc

1 / 10 litres.

Boiling water is a common method used to sterilize water that may be contaminated. subjecting microbes to such high temperatures
GaryK [48]

Boiling water is a common method used to sterilize water that may be contaminated. subjecting microbes to such high temperatures is an example of a(n) microbicidal technique.

A substance that eliminates microorganisms (such as bacteria) is known as microbicide and the techniques that involve destruction of microbes are known as microbicidal techniques.

The pathogen biofilm was effectively destroyed by the combined microbicidal effects of hot water (50, 60, or 70 °C) and 2% citric acid. It was discovered that the combination of hot water and citric acid caused sub-lethally harmed cells.

A fairly easy way to disinfect water is to boil it. The majority of dangerous organisms, notably viruses and bacteria that cause waterborne infections, are killed when water is heated to a high temperature of 100°C. The water must boil for at least 20 minutes in order to be most effective.

Hence, water that may be polluted is frequently sterilized by boiling. Using such high temperatures to kill germs is an example of a microbicidal method.
