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

The average power dissipated in a 47 ω resistor is 2.0 w. what is the peak value i 0 of the ac current in the resistor?
pishuonlain [190]
The average dissipated power in a resistor in a ac circuit is:
P=I_{rms}^2 R
where R is the resistance, and I_{rms} is the root mean square current, defined as
I_{rms} =  \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}}
where I_0 is the peak value of the current. Substituting the second formula into the first one, we find
P=( \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2} } )^2 R =  \frac{1}{2} I_0^2 R
and if we re-arrange this formula and use the data of the problem, we can find the value of the peak current I0:
I_0 =  \sqrt{ \frac{2 P}{R} }=  \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.0 W}{47 \Omega} }=0.29 A

Why do the magnetic forces acting on the coil change as the current running through the coil changes?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: The changing magnetic field caused by the material's motion induces a current in the coil of wire proportional to the change in field. If a 0 is represented, the magnetic field does not change between the two domains of a bit, so no current is induced as the magnetic material passes the coil.

You are an evolutionary biologist studying a population of bats in the rain forest in Brazil. Most of the population possesses m
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

In the stabilizing natural selection, the extreme traits from both the ends are eliminated by natural selection and natural selection favors the intermediate trait. So over time individuals having the intermediate traits are selected over the individuals having extreme traits.

So here the population of the bat which possesses moderate wing length is selected over the individual with extreme traits like individuals with short wings and long wings. As a result, the population of moderate length wing bats increased.

Therefore the correct answer is (B)- stabilizing natural selection.
