Answer:

A: wear several thin layers and a waterproof top layer

Explanation:

The most common cause of hypothermia is getting wet. Wet clothes combined with wind can pull heat away from the body very quickly. Wool is a good insulator even when it is wet, but wet cotton will bolster heat loss. When dressing for cold weather, put on several thin layers, rather than one or two heavy ones, and top with windproof and waterproof outer layers.

A ‘thermal tap’ used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which
abruzzese [7]

Correct question is;

A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).

Answer:

ΔT = 268.67K

Explanation:

We are given;

d1 = 8mm

d2 = 1mm

At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.

Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,

Using the combined gas law, we have;

P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2

The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah

Thus;

V1 = (πd1²/4)h

V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h

Thus;

(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2

π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;

d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2

T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²

T2 = (1² × T1)/8²

T2 = 273/64

T2 = 4.23K

Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 273 - 4.23

ΔT = 268.67K

Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K

How many milliliters of water at 25.0°C with a density of 0.997 g/mL must be mixed with 162 mL of coffee at 94.6°C so that the r
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The volume of water is 139 mL.

Explanation:

Due to the Law of conservation of energy, the heat lost by coffee is equal to the heat gained by the water, that is, the sum of heats is equal to zero.

Q_{coffee} + Q_{water} = 0\\Q_{coffee} = - Q_{water}

The heat (Q) can be calculated using the following expression:

Q=c \times m \times \Delta T

where,

c is the specific heat of each substance

m is the mass of each substance

ΔT is the difference in temperature for each substance

The mass of coffee is:

162mL.\frac{0.997g}{mL} = 162g

Then,

Q_{coffee} = - Q_{water}\\c_{c} \times m_{c} \times \Delta T_{c} = -c_{w} \times m_{w} \times \Delta T_{w}\\m_{c} \times \Delta T_{c} = -m_{w} \times \Delta T_{w}\\m_{w} = \frac{m_{c} \times \Delta T_{c}}{-\Delta T_{w}} \\m_{w}=\frac{162g \times (62.5 \°C - 94.6 \°C ) }{-(62.5 \°C - 25.0 \°C)} \\m_{w} = 139 g

The volume of water is:

139g.\frac{1mL}{0.997g} =139mL

A professor sits at rest on a stool that can rotate without friction. The rotational inertia of the professor-stool system is 4.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

\omega=0.37 [rad/s]  

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of the angular momentum.

L=mvR

I\omega=mvR

Now the Inertia is I(professor_stool) plus mR², that is the momentum inertia of a hoop about central axis.

So we will have:

(I_{proffesor - stool}+mR^{2})\omega=mvR

Now, we just need to solve it for ω.

\omega=\frac{mvR}{I_{proffesor-stool}+mR^{2}}

\omega=\frac{1.5*2.7*0.4}{4.1+1.5*0.4^{2}}      

\omega=0.37 [rad/s]  

I hope it helps you!

A 1000 kg satellite and a 2000 kg satellite follow exactly the same orbit around the earth. What is the ratio F1/F2 of the gravi
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

the <em>ratio F1/F2 = 1/2</em>

the <em>ratio a1/a2 = 1</em>

Explanation:

The force that both satellites experience is:

F1 = G M_e m1 / r²       and

F2 = G M_e m2 / r²

where

  • m1 is the mass of satellite 1
  • m2 is the mass of satellite 2
  • r is the orbital radius
  • M_e is the mass of Earth

Therefore,

F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] / [G M_e m2 / r²]

F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] × [r² / G M_e m2]

F1/F2 = m1/m2

F1/F2 = 1000/2000

<em>F1/F2 = 1/2</em>

The other force that the two satellites experience is the centripetal force. Therefore,

F1c = m1 v² / r    and

F2c = m2 v² / r

where

  • m1 is the mass of satellite 1
  • m2 is the mass of satellite 2
  • v is the orbital velocity
  • r is the orbital velocity

Thus,

a1 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a1    and

a2 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a2

Therefore,

F1c = m1 a1 r / r = m1 a1

F2c = m2 a2 r / r = m2 a2

In order for the satellites to stay in orbit, the gravitational force must equal the centripetal force. Thus,

F1 = F1c

G M_e m1 / r² = m1 a1

a1 = G M_e / r²

also

a2 = G M_e / r²

Thus,

a1/a2 = [G M_e / r²] / [G M_e / r²]

<em>a1/a2 = 1</em>
