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.

Two friends, barbara and neil, are out rollerblading. with respect to the ground, barbara is skating due south at a speed of 5.9
Semmy [17]
<span>As seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west. Let's assume that both Barbara and Neil start out at coordinate (0,0) and skate for exactly 1 second. Where do they end up? Barbara is going due south at 5.9 m/s, so she's at (0,-5.9) Neil is going due west at 1.4 m/s, so he's at (-1.4,0) Now to see Neil's relative motion to Barbara, compute a translation that will place Barbara back at (0,0) and apply that same translation to Neil. Adding (0,5.9) to their coordinates will do this. So the translated coordinates for Neil is now (-1.4, 5.9) and Barbara is at (0,0). The magnitude of Neil's velocity as seen by Barbara is sqrt((-1.4)^2 + 5.9^2) = sqrt(1.96 + 34.81) = sqrt(36.77) = 6.1 m/s The angle of his vector relative to due west will be atan(5.9/1.4) = atan(4.214285714) = 76.7 degrees So as seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west.</span>

A lamp uses a 230 V mains supply and transfers 96 J of energy every second. Work out the current through the lamp. Give your ans
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

0.4 A

Explanation:

From the question,

Electric power = Voltage×current

P = VI.......................... Equation 1

Make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V..................... Equation 2

Given: P = 96 J/s, V = 230 V.

Substitute into equation 2

I = 96/230

I = 0.4 A.

Hence the current is 0.4 A

(8%) Problem 9: Helium is a very important element for both industrial and research applications. In its gas form it can be used
exis [7]

Answer:

2046.37 kPa

Explanation:

Given:

Number of moles, n = 125

Temperature, T = 20° C = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Radius of the cylinder, r = 17 cm = 0.17 m

Height of the cylinder, h = 1.64 m

thus,

volume of the cylinder, V = πr²h

= π × 0.17² × 1.64

= 0.148 m³

Now,

From the ideal gas law

we have

PV = nRT

here,

P is the pressure

R is the ideal gas constant = 8.314  J / mol. K

thus,

P × 0.148 = 125 × 8.314 × 293

or

P × 0.148 = 304500.25

or

P = 2046372.64 Pa = 2046.37 kPa

An archer tests various arrowheads by shooting arrows at a pumpkin that is suspended from a tree branch by a rope, as shown to t
erik [133]

Answer:

Bounce 1 ,  pass 3,   emb2

Explanation:

(By the way I am also doing that question on College board physics page) For the Bounce arrow, since it bumps into the object and goes back, it means now it has a negative momentum, which means a larger momentum is given to the object. P=mv, so the velocity is larger for the object, and larger velocity means a larger kinetic energy which would result in a larger change in the potential energy. Since K=0.5mv^2=U=mgh, a larger potential energy would have a larger change in height which means it has a larger angle θ with the vertical line. Comparing with the "pass arrow" and the "Embedded arrow", the embedded arrow gives the object a larger momentum, Pi=Pf (mv=(M+m)V), it gives all its original momentum to the two objects right now. (Arrow and the pumpkin), it would have a larger velocity. However for the pass arrow, it only gives partial of its original momentum and keeps some of them for the arrow to move, which means the pumpkin has less momentum, means less velocity, and less kinetic energy transferred into the potential energy, and means less change in height, less θangle.  So it is  Bounce1, pass3, emb2.

An astronomer observes that the wavelength of light from a distant star is shifted toward the red part of the visible spectrum.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The distance between the earth and the star is increasing.

Explanation:

When we observe an object and its electromagnetic radiation has been displaced to blue, it means that it is getting closer to us, causing the light waves it emits to get closer together and its wavelength to decrease towards blue, this is knowm as blueshift.

On the contrary, when an object is rapidly moving away from us, the light waves or electromagnetic radiation it emits have been stretched from their normal wavelength to a longer wavelength, towards the red part of the spectrum. This is known as redshift.

This phenomenon of changes in wavelength and frequency due to movement (whether the source approaches or moves away) is described by the Doppler effect.

So for this case because the light we perceive from the star has moved to the red part of the visible spectrum, we can conclude that it is moving away from the earth, and that the distance between the star and the earth is increasing.
