You then measure Polly's internal temperature to be 13°C, which is quite a drop from the normal human body temperature of 37°C.

And weighing Polly, you find her mass to be 60 kg. Now, subtracting the heat warming the water from the surrounding environment, we assume Polly gave up only 5000 kJ of thermal energy to warm the bath. With these numbers, determine Polly's specific heat in units J/(kg°C)_______.

Using the expression to find the Heat exchange energy, we can find the required value for the Poly's specific heat in its respectively units. Matematically this can be expressed as,

Q = mC_p \Delta T

Where,

m = Mass

C_p= Specific heat

\Delta T= Change in temperature

Q = Heat change

Re-arrange to find the specific heat we have that

C_p = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}

C_p = \frac{5000*10^3}{60(37-13)}

C_p = 3472.22J/kg\cdot \°C

Therefore the Polly's specific heat is 3472.22J/kg\cdot \°C

Suppose the lift force on the plane in the diagram below was larger than the force of gravity. Which of the following statements
Salsk061 [2.6K]
A because when gravity and the force are equilibrium it tend to be equal or stay at rest or constant velocity. But when the force of a plane is less than the force of gravity it will go down to the ground. Unless when the force of a plane is greater than the force of gravity, the plane will move upward at increasing rate. 
Hope this helps

A circuit is built based on this circuit diagram. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The three resistors are connected to the same points of the circuit, so they are in parallel configuration. The equivalent resistance of 3 resistors in parallel is given by:
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+ \frac{1}{R_3}
If we plug the values of the resistances into the formula, we find
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{3.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{6.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{9.0 \Omega}= \frac{6+3+2}{18.0 \Omega} = \frac{11}{18.0 \Omega}
From which we find the equivalent resistance:
R_{eq} =  \frac{18.0}{11} \Omega =1.6 \Omega

So, the correct answer is B.
