A hiker caught in a rainstorm absorbs 1.00 L of water in her clothing. If it is windy so that the water evaporates quickly at 20

°C, how much heat is required for this process? b. If all this heat is removed from the hiker (no significant heat was generated by metabolism during this time), what drop in body temperature would the hiker experience? The clothed hiker weighs 60 kg, and you can approximate the heat capacity of hiker and clothes as equal to that of water. ( Moral : stay out of the wind if you get your clothes wet.) c. How many grams of sucrose would the hiker have to metabolize (quickly) to replace the heat of evaporating 1.00 L of water so that her temperature would not change? You can use the enthalpy of reaction at 25°C; the sucrose ( s ) reacts with oxygen ( g ) to give carbon dioxide ( g ) and water ( l ).

Answer:

(A) Q = 2.26×10⁶J

(B) ΔT = 9°C

(C)

Explanation:

We have been given the mass of the hiker, the volume of water from which we can calculate the mass knowing that the density if water is 1000kg/m³.

Evaporation is a phase change and occurs at a constant temperature. We would use the latent heat of vaporization to calculate the amount of heat evaporated.

We would then equate this to the heat change it brings about in the hiker's body and then calculate the temperature drop.

See the attachment below for full solution.

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

r=0.41m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

\tau=r\times F

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

\tau=rFsin\theta

Where \theta is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when sin\theta is equal to one, solving for r:

r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.


Explanation:


1) Balance of forces on a person falling:


i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).


ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).


iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).


2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.


3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.


Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

  λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

  3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is ________proportional to the current and _________proportional to the distan
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u>  proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u>  proportional to the distance from the wire.  If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.

Explanation:

Magnetic field around a long current carrying wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu _o I}{2\pi r}

where B= magnetic field

           \mu _o= permeability of free space

           I= current in the long wire and

           r= distance from the current carrying wire

Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u>  proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u>  proportional to the distance from the wire.  

Now if I'=3I and r'=2r then magnetic field B' is given by

B'=\frac{\mu _oI'}{2\pi r'}=\frac{\mu _o3I}{2\pi 2r}=1.5B

Thus If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.
