Answer:

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 m/s

speed of light in scientific notation to three significant figures

v = 2.99792458  x  10⁸ m/s

by rounding off the speed to three significant figure.

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

On the fourth place the value is greater than 5 so, on the third place 1 will be added.

now, the speed with three significant figure comes out to be

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Calculate the amount of heat (kcal) released when 50.0g of steam at 100*c hits the skin, condenses, and cools to a body temperat
luda_lava [24]
As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:

Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ
