If a person has a dangerously high fever, submerging her in ice water is a bad idea, but an ice pack can help to quickly bring h

er body temperature down.
How many grams of ice at 0 degrees C will be melted in bringing down a 62kg patient's fever from 40 degrees C to 39 degrees C?

Answer:

775 grams of ice

Explanation:

Heat loss by patient = heat gained by ice

Heat loss by patient = mass×specific heat capacity×(initial temperature - final temperature) = 62×4200×(40-39) = 260,400J

Heat gained by ice = mass × specific latent heat of fusion of ice = m×336000 = 336000m J

336000m = 260,400

m = 260400/336000 = 0.775kg = 0.775×1000 grams = 775 grams of ice

How much must a woman weigh ( force) if the pressure she exerts while standing on one foot has an area of 0.6m squared exerts a
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

W = 9.6 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Area on 1 foot, A = 0.6 m²

Pressure, P = 16 Pa

The pressure is given by force acting per unit area. So,

P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{W}{A}\\\\W=16\times 0.6\\\\W=9.6\ N

So, the required weight is 9.6 N.

What is the magnitude of g at a height above Earth's surface where free-fall acceleration equals 6.5m/s^2?
prohojiy [21]

You've given the answer, right there in your question.

The "magnitude of gravity" is described in terms of the acceleration
due to it, and you just told us what that is.

We can also notice that the figure you gave is about 0.66 of the
acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface. That tells us that
the distance from the Earth's center at that height is about 

                     (1 / √0.66) = 1.23 times

the Earth's radius, so the height is about  910 miles above the surface.

g a stone with mass m=1.60 kg IS thrown vertically upward into the air with an initial kinetic energy of 470 J. the drag force a
otez555 [7]

Answer:

Height reached will be 28.35 m

Explanation:

Here we can use the work energy theorem to find the maximum height

As we know by work energy theorem

Work done by gravity + work done by friction = change in kinetic energy

-mgh - F_f h = 0 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

now we will have

-1.60(9.8)(h) - 0.900(h) = - 470

-16.58 h = -470

h = 28.35 m

so here the height raised by the stone will be 28.35 m from the ground after projection in upward direction

A 60-W light bulb radiates electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions. At a distance of 1.0 m from the bulb, the light in
krek1111 [17]
1. If we increase the distance to twice it's original value, the light intensity is reduced by one-fourth, the light intensity would be:
I0/4

2. rms magnetic field is inversely proportional to distance, so the new rms magnetic field would be:
B0/2

3. average energy density is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, so the new average energy density is:
E0/4
