Why does a person feel cooler under a rotating fan?

1 answer:

4 0

What a fan does is create a wind chill effect. ... By blowing air around, the fan makes it easier for the air to evaporate sweat from your skin, which is how you eliminate body heat. The more evaporation, the cooler you feel.

Can someone please explain the quantum theory in simple terms

BaLLatris [955]

Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.

What constant acceleration (in ft/s2) is required to increase the speed of a car from 27 mi/h to 50 mi/h in 5 seconds

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

6.746 ft/s^2

Explanation:

v(t)=50

v(0)=27

t=5/3600 = 1/720 hours

v(t)-v(0)= a(t-0)

50-27= a(1/720)

a= 23*720= 16560 mi/h^2

16560mi/h^2 * 5280/3600^2 (ft/s^2) =6.746 ft/s^2

A disc of mass m slides with negligible friction along a flat surface with a velocity v. The disc strikes a wall head-on and bou

qwelly [4]

Answer:

-v/2

Explanation:

Given that:

a disc of mass m

Collides with the wall going through a sliding motion on on the plane smooth surface.

Upon rebounding from the wall its kinetic energy becomes one-fourth of the initial kinetic energy before collision.

We know, kinetic energy is given as:

$KE_i=\frac{1}{2}. m.v^2$

consider this to be the initial kinetic energy of the body.

Now after collision:

$KE_f=\frac{1}{4}\times KE_i$

$KE_f=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}\times m.v^2$

Considering that the mass of the body remains constant before and after collision.

$KE_f=\frac{1}{2}\times m.(\frac{v}{2})^2$

Therefore the velocity of the body after collision will become half of the initial velocity but its direction is also reversed which can be denoted by a negative sign.
