Answer:

This is because spirit has a lower boiling point when compared to water

Explanation:

spirit has a lower boiling point when compared to water which means it has the capacity to pull more heat from your hand and also it can do this very fast. This is why our hand feels colder.

sesenic [268]

The answer is 0.981 J

E = m · g · h
E - energy
m - mass
g - gravitational acceleration
h - height

We know:
E = ?
m = 0.10 kg
g = 9.81 m/s²
h = 1 m

E = 0.10 kg * 9.81 m/s² * 1 m = 0.981 J

Suppose you are in an elevator. As the elevator starts upward, its speed will increase. During this time when the elevator is mo

kkurt [141]

Answer:increased

Explanation:

It is given that elevator speed is increasing while moving upward i.e.its acceleration is increasing .

This causes the apparent to be increased if measured using weighing machine.

considering upward direction to be positive

N-mg=ma

N=m(g+a)

where N=Normal reaction=Apparent weight

a=acceleration of Elevator

thus you feel as if your weight is increased.

An object has a forward force of 100N and a reverse force of 25N. What is the resultant force?

iragen [17]

Given:

An object has a forward force = 100N

An object has a reverse force = 25N

To find out:

What is the resultant force?

Solution:

Resultant Force = Forward force + Reserve force

= 100 N + ( - 25 N )

= 75 N

A 1.70 m tall woman stands 5.00 m in front of a camera with a 50.00 cm focal

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

18.89cm

Explanation:

As we know that the person is standing 5m in front of the camera

$d_0=5m=500cm$

The focal length of the lens =50cm

f=50 cm

By Lens formula we have:

$\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{d_o}\\\dfrac{1}{50} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i} =\dfrac{1}{50}-\dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i}=0.018\\d_i=55.56cm$

By the formula of magnification

$\dfrac{h_i}{h_o} = \dfrac{55.56}{500}\\\\h_i = \dfrac{55.56}{500} \times h_o\\\\ h_o=1.70m=170cm\\\\Therefore: h_i=\dfrac{55.56}{500} \times$ 170 cm\\\\h_i =18.89 cm$

The height of the image formed is 18.89cm.
