You then measure Polly's internal temperature to be 13oC, which is quite a drop from the normal human body temperature of 37oC.

And weighing Polly, you find her mass to be 60 kg. Now, subtracting the heat warming the water from the surrounding environment, we assume Polly gave up only 5000 kJ of thermal energy to warm the bath. With these numbers, determine Polly's specific heat in units J/(kgoC).

Answer:

The specific heat is 3.47222 J/kg°C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 13°C

Temperature = 37°C

Mass = 60 Kg

Energy = 5000 J

We need to calculate the specific heat

Using formula of energy

Q= mc\Delta T

c =\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}

Put the value into the formula

c=\dfrac{5000}{60\times(37-13)}

c=3.47222\ J/kg^{\circ}C

Hence, The specific heat is 3.47222 J/kg°C.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Txomin lifted the stone with greater mass. (Txomin levantó la roca con mayor fuerza).

Explanation:

The sportsman that lifts the stone with a greater mass needs a higher force (El deportista que levanta la piedra con mayor masa necesita una mayor fuerza):

José

F = (200\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

F = 1961.4\,N

Txomin

F = (220\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

F = 2157.54\,N

Txomin lifted the stone with greater mass. (Txomin levantó la roca con mayor fuerza).

A segment of wire of total length 2.0 m is formed into a circular loop having 5.0 turns. If the wire carries a 1.2-A current, de
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Magnetic field at the center of the loop B=5.89\times 10^{-5}\ T.

Explanation:

It is given that total length of wire is 2 m and number of circular loop is 5 turns.

Therefore ,

5\times ( 2\pi r)=2 \ m .\\\\r=\dfrac{1}{5 \pi}=0.064\ m.

We know , magnetic field at the center of loop is given by :

B=N\dfrac{\mu_o i}{2r}

Putting all values in above equation we get :

B=5\times \dfrac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 1.2}{2\times 0.064}\\\\B=5.89\times 10^{-5}\ T.

Hence , this is the required solution.

The reaction energy of a reaction is the amount of energy released by the reaction. It is found by determining the difference in
solmaris [256]

Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Explanation:

Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get

m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .

The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is

Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,

which is equivalent to an energy change of

Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)

Delta E = 4.87 MeV

Converting  4.87 MeV to Joules

1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]

4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule

4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

155.38424 K

2.2721 kg/m³

Explanation:

P_1 = Pressure at reservoir = 10 atm

T_1 = Temperature at reservoir = 300 K

P_2 = Pressure at exit = 1 atm

T_2 = Temperature at exit

R_s = Mass-specific gas constant = 287 J/kgK

\gamma = Specific heat ratio = 1.4 for air

For isentropic flow

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{P_1}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=T_1\times \frac{P_2}{P_1}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=00\times \left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=155.38424\ K

The temperature of the flow at the exit is 155.38424 K

From the ideal equation density is given by

\rho_2=\frac{P_2}{R_sT_2}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{1\times 101325}{287\times 155.38424}\\\Rightarrow \rho=2.2721\ kg/m^3

The density of the flow at the exit is 2.2721 kg/m³
