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

A woman sits on a spinning piano stool with her arms extended. When she folds her arms, which of the following occurs? Question
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct option is that (She decreases her moment of inertia, thereby increasing her angular speed.)

Explanation:

When an object is in circular motion, the vector that describes it is known as angular momentum. Angular momentum is conserved or constant when an object is spinning in a closed system and no external torques are applied to it. An example of conservation of angular momentum is seen when a woman is sitting on a spinning piano stool with her arms extended. Her angular momentum is conserved because the net torque on her is negligibly small as the friction is exerted very close to the pivot point.

When she folds her arms,her rate of spin increases greatly decreasing her moment of inertia. The work she does to pull in her arms results in an increase in rotational kinetic energy( that is, increase in her angular speed). I hope this helps, thanks!

If the magnetic field a perpendicular distance r to the left of a current-carrying wire is 10 T, what will the net magnetic fiel
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

30 T

Explanation:

The magnetic field due to first wire at point A is B_1=\frac{\mu _0i}{2\pi r}

Magnetic field due to second wire at point A  is  B_2=\frac{\mu _02i}{2\pi r}

As the current flows in opposite direction in both the wire so net magnetic magnetic field at point A is B=B_1+B_2=\frac{\mu _0i}{2\pi r}+\frac{\mu _02i}{2\pi r}=\frac{\mu _03i}{2\pi r}

So net magnetic field B=3B_1=3\times 10=30T  as B_1  is given as 10 T  in question

Starting from rest near the surface of the Earth, a 25-kg beam slides 12 m down a vertical pine tree, and has a speed of 6 m/s j
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The frictional force acting on the bear during the slide is 207.5 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of beam, m = 25-kg

vertical height, h = 12 m

speed of fall, v =  6 m/s

Change in potential energy of the beam:

ΔP.E = -mgh = - 25 x 9.8 x 12 = -2940 J

Change in kinetic energy of the beam:

Δ K.E = ¹/₂mv² = ¹/₂ x 25 x (6)² = 450 J

Change in thermal energy of the system due to friction:

ΔE = - (ΔP.E  + Δ K.E)

ΔE = - (-2940 J + 450 J)

ΔE = 2940 J - 450 J = 2490 J

Frictional force (in N) acting on the bear during the slide:

F x d = Fk x h = ΔE

Where;

Fk is the frictional force

Fk = ΔE/h

Fk = 2490J / 12m

Fk = 207.5 N

Therefore, the frictional force acting on the bear during the slide is 207.5 N
