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.

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

What happens when a candle burns?
slega [8]

Answer:

oxygen is used up is the answer

Explanation:

These vaporized molecules are drawn up into the flame, where they react with oxygen from the air to create heat, light, water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

You are given five transparent objects: a calcite crystal, a diamond, a piece of window glass, a sample of quartz, and a piece o
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The calcite Crystal can be identified by carrying out an acid test on it. This is done by bringing it in contact with a weak acid which cause crack in it structure. Hence a little of carbondioxide gas is released.

Since diamond is the hardest object,it can be identified on a Mohs scale. Likewise it can be tested by bringing it in contact with a newspaper, if the letters on the paper are not seen, that shows it is a pure diamond.

Window glass is identified by the code on it.

While Quartz Crystal is identified by scratch test. When it is used to scratch all other softer stones and metal, it leaves mark on them.

A boy on board a cruise ship drops a 30. 0 gm marble into the ocean. If the resistive force proportionality constant is 0. 500 k
svlad2 [7]

The terminal speed of the marble is 0.588 m/s.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

We know that,

F = mg                                                   ......(1)

where,

F = force

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Also,

v = F/k                                                       ......(2)

where,

v = terminal speed

k = proportionality constant

Substituting the value of F from equation (1) in equation (2)

v = mg/k                                                         .......(3)

Given,

m = 30 g = 0.030 kg

k = 0.500 kg/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

To find,

v =?

Put the values in equation (3)

v = mg/k              

v = 0.03(9.8)/ 0.500

  = 0.294/0.500

  = 0.588 m/s

​

Hence, the terminal speed of the marble is 0.588 m/s.
