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

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene
erastova [34]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

alexandr402 [8]
Red shift is one piece of observational evidence which supports the big bang theory. The fact that galaxies are moving away from us means that the universe was once much smaller, supporting the big bang theory which states that all the matter in the universe once occupied a single point with infinite density.

Un movil viaja a 40km/h y comienza a reducir su velocidad a partir del instante t=0. Al cabo de 6 segundo se detiene completamen
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

1,85 m / s²

Explanation:

De la pregunta anterior, se obtuvieron los siguientes datos:

Velocidad inicial (u) = 40 km / h

Hora inicial (t₁) = 0

Tiempo final (t₂) = 6 s

Velocidad final (v) = 0

Aceleración (a) =?

A continuación, convertiremos 40 km / ha m / s. Esto se puede obtener de la siguiente manera:

1 km / h = 0,2778 m / s

Por lo tanto,

40 km / h = 40 km / h × 0,2778 m / s / 1 km / h

40 km / h = 11,11 m / s

Por tanto, 40 km / h equivalen a 11,11 m / s.

Finalmente, determinaremos la aceleración del móvil durante el período en el que desaceleró. Esto se puede obtener de la siguiente manera:

Velocidad inicial (u) = 11,11 m / s

Hora inicial (t₁) = 0

Tiempo final (t₂) = 6 s

Velocidad final (v) = 0

Aceleración (a) =?

a = (v - u) / (t₂ - t₁)

a = (0 - 11,11) / (6 - 0)

a = - 11,11 / 6

a = –1,85 m / s²

Por tanto, la aceleración del móvil durante el período en el que se ralentizó es de –1,85 m / s²

fomenos
<span>The line that is drawn perpendicular to the point at which a wave intersects a boundary is know as the Normal .

When the normal is drawn, the incident ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence and the reflected ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence. These angles are always equal.
 
The refracted ray makes an angle with the normal known as angle of refraction. The sin of angle of incidence to the sin of angle of refraction is called the refractive index( </span>μ= <span>sin i / sin r) .

hope all of it helps you!</span>
