A basketball player does 2.43 x 105 J of work during her time in the game, and evaporates 0,1 '10 kg of water. Assuming a latent

heat of 2.26 x 106 Jlkg for the perspiration (same as for water), determine (a) the change in the player's internal energy, and (b) the number of nutritional calories the player has converted to work and heat.

The change in the player's internal energy is -491.6 kJ. The number of nutritional calories is -117.44 kCal

For this process to take place, some of the basketball player's perspiration must escape from the skin. This is because sweating relies on a physical phenomenon known as the heat of vaporization.

The heat of vaporization refers to the amount of heat required to convert 1g of a liquid into a vapor without causing the liquid's temperature to increase.

From the given information,

  • the work done on the basketball is dW = 2.43 × 10⁵ J

The amount of heat loss is represented by dQ.

where;

  • dQ = -mL

∴

Using the first law of thermodynamics:b

dU = dQ - dW

dU = -mL - dW

dU = -(0.110 kg × 2.26 × 10⁶ J/kg - 2.43 × 10⁵ J)

dU = -491.6 × 10³ J

dU = -491.6 kJ

The number of nutritional calories the player has converted to work and heat can be determined by using the relation:

\mathbf{dU = -491.6 \ kJ \times (\dfrac{1 \ cal}{ 4.186 \ J})}

dU = -117.44 kcal

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on
lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration
lidiya [134]

Answer:

1.4m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

 Average velocity  = \frac{total distance }{time }  

 Total time taken  = 5s + 6s  = 11s

The first distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 5 = 7m

     second distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 6  = 8.4m

So;

  Average velocity  = \frac{7 + 8.4}{11}    = 1.4m/s

a projectile is shot horizontally from the edge of a cliff, 230m above the ground. the projectile lands 300m from base of the cl
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Vertical height of cliff = 230 m

Distance = 300 m

Suppose, determine the time taken by the projectile to hit the ground.

We need to calculate the time

Using second equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Where, s = vertical height of cliff

u = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

230=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{230\times2}{9.8}}

t=6.85 sec

Hence, The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.
