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 year 11 pupil with a mass of 55kg swinging back on their chair and falling off it at a speed of 0.6m/s. What is his kinetic en
posledela

Answer:

Uk = 9.9 J

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energie (Uk), you can make use of this formula:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

given m = 55 kg and v = 0.6 m/s

Substituting in the formula gives:

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * (0.6)²

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * 0.36

Uk = 9.9 J

Extra:

Now let's examine the formula in relation to the SI units. <em>If you understand the following, it will give you great insight in how smart Phisics is inter twained by looking at formulas and their standard units. It will save you time in future to convert formulas, if you use the right standard units.</em>

The formula for kinetic energie is:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

Standard SI unit for mass m is kg.

Standard SI unit for speed v is m/s.

So v * v = v² and therefore v² must have the standard SI unit of m²/s².

From the formula, you see that the unit of Uk must be kg*m²/s² and since Uk is normally given in J, these both forms must be the same !

The main unit for Uk is the Joule. <em>Now</em><em> </em><em>please</em><em> </em><em>see</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>picture</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>shows</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>relation</em><em> </em><em>between </em><em>the </em><em>J </em><em>and </em><em>other</em><em> SI units</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Please</em><em> </em><em>understand</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>construct</em><em> </em><em>your</em><em> </em><em>'own'</em><em> </em><em>formulas</em><em> </em><em>based</em><em> </em><em>these</em><em> </em><em>units</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Now</em><em> </em><em>here</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>time</em><em> </em><em>saver</em><em>:</em>

Because almost always the right units are <em>given</em> in a question, or because sometimes you can look up a constant in a table with an exotic and seemingly complicated unit, but that says a lot about the formula which must have been some how involved!

<em>By this, I hope you now understand the implication of using the right standard SI units and how that can help you figure out what formula is needed.</em>

A gas sample is confined within a chamber that has a movable piston. A small load is placed on the piston; and the system is all
timurjin [86]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total weight of the piston, W = F = 70 N

Area of the piston, a=5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Let P is the pressure exerted on the piston by the gas. The force per unit area is called the pressure exerted pressure of the gas. Mathematically, it is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{70\ N}{5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2}

P=1.4\times 10^5\ Pa

We know that the atmospheric pressure is given by :

P_o=1.013\times 10^5\ Pa

So, the pressure is given by :

p=P+P_o

p=1.4\times 10^5+1.013\times 10^5

p=2.41\times 10^5\ Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.
