If you are soaking wet and the water on your clothes evaporates, you will feel cold. Explain the cooling effect in the terms of

kinetic theory.​

Georgia [21]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Evaporation requires energy in order to break up intermolecular forces and excite water molecules (fast-moving gas molecules vs. slower moving liquid molecules). Therefore when the water in the wet clothes evaporates, it is drawing away some heat from your body (the surroundings

An electron initially has a speed 16 km/s along the x-direction and enters an electric field of strength 27 mV/m that points in
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a)t=1.4\times 10^{-5}\ s

b)S= 46.4 cm

Explanation:

Given that

Velocity = 16 Km/s

V= 16,000 m/s

E= 27 mV/m

E=0.027 V/m

d= 22.5 cm

d= 0.225 m

a)

lets time taken by electron is t

d = V x t

0.225 = 16,000 t

t=1.4\times 10^{-5}\ s

b)

We know that

F = m a = E q                    ------------1

Mass of electron ,m

m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Charge on electron

q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

So now by putting the values in equation 1

a=\dfrac{E q}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.027}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}\ m/s^2

a=4.74\times 10^{9}\ m/s^2

S= ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here initial velocity u= 0 m/s

S= \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.74\times 10^{9}\times (1.4\times 10^{-5})^2\ m

S=0.464 m

S= 46.4 cm

S is the deflection of electron.

According to Ohm's law, a circuit with a high resistance _____. will have a low electric current will have a high electric curre
lyudmila [28]
Remark
When you are asked a question like this, the first thing to do is search out a formula and put some limits on it.

Formula
I = E/R which comes from E = IR. To get to the derived formula, divide both sides by R
E/R = I*R/R
E/R = I

Discussion
This is an inverse relationship. That means that as one goes up the other one will go down. 

So in this case you keep E constant and you manipulate R and look at your results for I

Case 1

Let us say that E = 10 volts
Let us also say the R = 10 ohms

I = E/R
I = 10/10
I = 1 ohm

Case Two
Let's raise the Resistance to 100 ohms
E = 10
R = 100
I = 10/100 = 0.1 

Conclusion
As the Resistance goes up, the current goes down. Answer: A

What causes the rider on a roller coaster to experience the + or - g’s if gravity always remains the same on earth
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Yes both = and - g can be felt by a rider in a roller coaster.

Explanation:

It is crucial to understand how we feel gravity in this case.

We humans have no sensory organs to directly detect magnitude and direction like some birds and other creatures, but then how do we we feel gravity?

When we stand on our feet we feel our weight due to the normal reaction of floor on our feet trying to keep us stand and our weight trying to crush us down. In an elevator we feel difference in our weight (difference magnitudes of gravity) but actually we are feeling the differences in normal reactions under different accelerations of the elevator.

In the case of roller coaster you will feel +g as you  sit on a chair in it, but will feel -g when you are in upside down position as roller coaster move.

When you are seated you will feel the normal reaction of seat on you giving you the feeling +g and the support of the buckles to stay in the roller coaster when you are upside down will give you the -g feeling.

<u>This is just the physics approach</u>, a biological approach can be given in association with sensors relating to ears.
