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

Answer:

a) Instantaneous rate at which the force does work on the object = -6 W

b) \texttt{Velocity of object,}\vec{v}=4\hat{j}

Explanation:

a) Given that

             \vec{F}=3\hat{i}-3\hat{j}

   and

            \vec{v}=-2\hat{i}+4\hat{k}

Instantaneous rate at which the force does work on the object is called power.

          Power is the dot product of force and velocity.

          P=\vec{F}.\vec{v}=(3\hat{i}-3\hat{j}).(-2\hat{i}+4\hat{k})=-6W

Instantaneous rate at which the force does work on the object = -6 W

b) Here given that    \vec{v}=-a\hat{j}

  Power = -12 W

  P=\vec{F}.\vec{v}=(3\hat{i}-3\hat{j}).a\hat{j}=-12W\\\\-3a=-12\\\\a=4\\\\\vec{v}=4\hat{j}

\texttt{Velocity of object,}\vec{v}=4\hat{j}

The number of mushrooms needed by a pizza restaurant is given by the
creativ13 [48]

Answer: 24

Explanation:

Given the following equation:

g=3n

Where g is the number of mushrooms in a pizza and n the number of pizzas.

If we know the restaurant will make 8 pizzas (n=8), then:

g=3(8)

g=24 This is the needed number of mushrooms for 8 pizzas

A wire carries a current of 4.1 A. How many electrons per second are passing any cross sectional area of the wire? Enter your an
aivan3 [116]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Current and Load.

The current in terms of the charge of an electron can be expressed as

i = \frac{q}{t}

Where,

q = Charge

t = time

At the same time the Charge is the amount of electrons multiplied by the amount of these, that is

q = ne

Replacing in the first equation we have to

i = \frac{q}{t}

i = \frac{ne}{t}

Clearing n,

n = \frac{it}{e}

Here the time is one second then

n = \frac{i}{e}

n = \frac{4.1}{1.6*10^{-9}}

n = 2.56*10^{19}electrons

Therefore the number of electrons per second are passing any cross sectional area of the wire are 2.56*10^{19}electrons
