Explanation:
To solve this problem we use the Hooke's Law:
(1)
F is the Force needed to expand or compress the spring by a distance Δx.
The spring stretches 0.2cm per Newton, in other words:
1N=k*0.2cm ⇒ k=1N/0.2cm=5N/cm
The force applied is due to the weight
We replace in (1):
We solve the equation for m:
Answer:
B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.
Explanation:
It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.
For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by is
(S.I. unit = Joules).
where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.
But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat
(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water
