Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s

kin from steam as opposed to hot water at the same temperature.
Assume that water and steam, initially at 100?C, are cooled down to skin temperature, 34?C, when they come in contact with your skin. Assume that the steam condenses extremely fast. We will further assume a constant specific heat capacity c=4190J/(kg?K) for both liquid water and steam.

How much heat H1 is transferred to the skin by 25.0 g of steam onto the skin? The latent heat of vaporization for steam is L=2.256

Answer:

63.3 KJ

Explanation:

Quantity of heat lost to the skin = mLw + mcΔT

where is mass in kg, Lw is latent heat of vaporization in KJ/kg ( 2.256 × 10^6 KJ/Kg), c is specific heat capacity of water (4190 J/(Kg.K) and ΔT is the change in temperature

m = 25g = 25 /1000 = 0.025 kg

quantity of heat loss = (0.025 × 2.256 × 10^6) +  ( 0.025 × 4190 × (100 -34 )

Quantity of heat loss to the skin = (5.64 × 10^4) + 5530.8 = 56400 + 6913.5 = 63313.5 = 63.3 KJ

A person driving her car at 48 km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

She must stop the car  before interception, distance traveled 12.66 m

Explanation:

We will take all units to the SI system

Vo = 48Km / h (1000m / 1Km) (1h / 3600s) = 13.33 m / s

V2 = 70 Km / h = 19.44 m / s

We calculate the distance traveled before stopping

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

Time is what it takes traffic light to turn red  is t = 2.0 s

X = 13.33 2 + 1.2 (-7) 2²

X = 12.66 m

It stops car before reaching the traffic light turning to red

Let's analyze what happens if you accelerate, let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle

     V2 = Vo + a t2

      a = (V2-Vo) / t2

      a = (19.44-13.33) /6.6

      a = 0.926 m / s2

This is the acceleration to try to pass the interception, now let's calculate the distance it travels in the time the traffic light changes from yellow to red (t = 2.0 s)

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

X = 13.33 2 + ½ 0.926 2²

X = 28.58 m

Since the vehicle was 30 m away, the interception does not happen

The left end of a long glass rod 8.00 cm in diameter, with an index of refraction 1.60, is ground to a concave hemispherical sur
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a) q = -9.23 cm, b)  h’= 0.577 mm , c) image is right and virtual

Explanation:

This is an optical exercise, where the constructor equation should be used

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

Where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

A) The cocal distance is framed with the relationship

       1 / f = (n₂-1) (1 /R₁ -1 /R₂)

In this case we have a rod whereby the first surface is flat R1 =∞ and the second surface R2 = -4 cm, the sign is for being concave

       1 / f = (1.60 -1) (1 /∞ - 1 / (-4))

       1 / f = 0.6 / 4 = 0.15

        f = 6.67 cm

We have the distance to the object p = 24.0 cm, let's calculate

       1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / p

       1 / q = 1 / 6.67 - 1/24

       1 / q = 0.15 - 0.04167 = 0.10833

       q = -9.23 cm

distance to the negative image is before the lens

B) the magnification of the lenses is given by

       M = h ’/ h = - q / p

        h’= - q / p h

        h’= - (-9.23) / 24.0 0.150

        h’= 0.05759 cm

        h’= 0.577 mm

C) the object is after the focal length, therefore, the image is right and virtual

What is the magnitude of the momentum of a 3400 kg airplane traveling at a speed of 450 miles per hour?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of momentum of the airplane is 6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the airplane, m = 3400 kg

Speed of the airplane, v = 450 miles per hour

Since, 1 mile per hour = 0.44704 m/s

v = 201.16 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of momentum of the airplane. It is given by the product of mas and velocity such that,

p=mv

p=3400\ kg\times 201.16 \ m/s

p=683944\ kg-m/s

or

p=6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of momentum of the airplane is 6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a speed 7.3 m/s from the top of a 51 m tall building. With what speed will it hit the
ddd [48]

Answer:

32.46m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this exercise we must be clear that the ball moves with constant acceleration with the value of gravity = 9.81m / S ^ 2

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are the follow

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =7.3m/S

A = g=acceleration =9.81m/s^2

X = displacement =51m}

solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{Vo^2+2gX}\\Vf=\sqrt{7.3^2+2(9.81)(51)}=32.46m/s

the speed with the ball hits the ground is 32.46m/s
