Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. If a woman rubs her hands back and forth for a to

tal of 11 rubs a distance of 7.50 cm each and with a frictional force averaging 71.3 N, what is the temperature increase? The mass of tissue warmed is only 0.100 kg, mostly in the palms and fingers. The specific heat of the tissue is 3500 J/(kg · °C).

Answer:

0.168°C

Explanation:

The frictional force between the palms enables rubbing and initiates the heat deposed.

The energy generated per rub is;

The force × distance

Hence we have; 71.3 N×0.0750m

Hence for 11 rubs we have; 11× 71.3 N×0.0750m= 58.82J

Now this heat acquired by the tissue is the same as mass of tissue × specific heat capacity of tissue × temperature rise;

Expressed mathematically as;

58.82=0.100 kg×3500 J/(kg · °C)×∆T

∆T= 58.82/ 0.100 ×3500 =0.168°C

The Southwest Indian Ridge, shown in red, moves at an average rate of 20 mm/year, making it among the ultraslow spreading ridges
blagie [28]

v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

While finding the spring constant, if X1 = 12 cm, X2 = 15 cm, and hanging mass = 22 grams, the value of spring constant K would
Pavel [41]

Answer:

If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m

Explanation:

Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²

If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m

k= spring constant

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=0.022\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=0.21582\ N

\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.012\\\Rightarrow k=1.7985\ N/m\\

∴k = 1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m

Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.015\\\Rightarrow k=1.4388\ N/m\\

∴k = 1.4388 N/m

As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m

A uniform log of length L is inclined 30° from the horizontal when supported by a frictionless rock located 0.6L from its left e
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x = 0.974 L

Explanation:

given,

length of inclination of log = 30°

mass of log = 200 Kg

rock is located at = 0.6 L

L is the length of the log

mass of engineer = 53.5 Kg

let x be the distance from left at which log is horizontal.

For log to be horizontal system should be in equilibrium

 ∑ M = 0

mass of the log will be concentrated at the center  

distance of rock from CM of log = 0.1 L

now,

∑ M = 0

m_{log} g \times 0.1 L = m_{engineer} g \times (x - 0.6 L)

200 \times 0.1 L = 53.5 \times (x - 0.6 L)

0.374 L =x - 0.6 L

       x = 0.974 L

hence, distance of the engineer from the left side is equal to x = 0.974 L

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30°C to
earnstyle [38]

The correct answer to the question is : D) 352.6 m/s.

CALCULATION :

As per the question, the temperature is increased from 30 degree celsius to 36 degree celsius.

We are asked to calculate the velocity of sound at 36 degree celsius.

Velocity of sound is dependent on temperature. More is the temperature, more is velocity of sound.

The velocity at this temperature is calculated as -

                            V = 331  + 0.6T m/s

                               = 331 + 0.6 × 36 m/s

                               = 331 + 21.6 m/s

                               = 352.6 m/s.

Here, T denotes the temperature of the surrounding.

Hence, velocity of the sound will be 352.6 m/s.

I NEED HELP ON 2 QUESTIONS PLEASEEE
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

2) c) give-way vessel

3) a) With one short blast

Explanation:

2) A vessel that is required to take early substantial action to ensure avoiding  collision called Give way vessel

In overtaking, the vessel intending to overtake is the Give-Way Vessel the vessel that is going to be overtaken is the Stand-On Vessel

Therefore, the correct option is c) give-way vessel

3) When vessels use sound signals in a meeting head on situation both vessel are Give-Way vessels and both vessel pass the each other by turning to the starboard side therefore they intend to pass each other on their port side requiring one short blast

Therefore, the correct option is a) With one short blast.
