Physical therapists know as you soak tired muscles in a hot tub, the water will cool down as you heat up. If a 67.9 kg person at

37.1 oC immerses in 50.2 kg of water at 40.5o C, the equilibrium temperature is 38.7 oC.
What is the specific heat of the person?
Use 4.186 kJ/kgoC for the specific heat of water.

Answer:

c = 5032.8J/kg°C

Explanation:

the transfer of heat is given by

Q_1=-Q_2\\\\Q=cm(T_f-T_i)

c is the specific heat, m the mass and T the temperatures at equilibrium an at the beginning.

By replacing we obtain

c_1m_1(T_f-T_{1i})=-c_2m_2(T_f-T_{2i})\\\\c_2=-\frac{c_1m_1(T_f-T_{1i})}{m_2(T_f-T_{2i})}=-\frac{(67.9kg)(4186J/kg\°C)(38.7\°C-37.1\°C)}{(50.2kg)(38.7\°C-40.5\°C)}\\\\c_2=5032.8\frac{J}{kg\°C}

hope this helps!!

A solid disk of radius 1.4 cm and mass 430 g is attached by a wire to one of its circular faces. It is twisted through an angle
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

    f= 4,186  10²  Hz

Explanation:

El sistema descrito es un pendulo de torsión que oscila con con velocidad angular, que esta dada por

             w = √ k/I

donde ka es constante de torsion de hilo e I es el momento de inercia del disco

El  momento de inercia de indican que giran un eje que pasa                 por enronqueces

           I= ½ M R2  

reduzcamos las cantidades al sistema SI

         R= 1,4 cm = 0,014  m

         M= 430 g = 0,430 kg

substituimos

           w= √ (2 k/M R2)

calculemos  

           w = RA ( 2 370 / (0,430  0,014 2)

           w = 2,963 103 rad/s

la velocidad angular esta relacionada con la frecuencia por

            w =2pi f

            f= w/2π

            f= 2,963 10³/ (2π)

            f= 4,186  10²  Hz

A block lies on a plane raised an angle θ from the horizontal. Three forces act upon the block: F⃗ w, the force of gravity; F⃗ n
Verdich [7]

Answer:

YFy = 0 = Ffsinθ + Fncosθ - Fw

Explanation:

From the base of the vector Fn, draw a vertical line. the small angle between this line and Fn is also theta. The component of Fn in the vertical direction is Fncos(theta).

Take a moment to picture extreme cases. Sine is 0 at 0 and 1 at 90. Cosine is 1 at 0 and 0 at 90.
