The blood plays an important role in removing heat from th ebody by bringing the heat directly to the surface where it can radia

te away. nevertheless, this heat must still travel through the skin before it can radiate away. we shall assume that the blood is brought to the bottom layer of skin at a temperature of 37.0 degrees C and that its outer surface of the skin is at 30.0 degrees C. Skin varies in thickness from 0.500mm to a few millimeters on the palms and the soles so we shall assume an average thickness off 0.740mm. a 165lb, 6 ft person has a surface area of about 2.00 m^2 and loses heat at a net rate of 75.0 w while resting. On the basis of our assumptions, what is the thermal conductivity of this persons skin?

Answer: Thermal comductivity (K) is 3.964x 10 ^-3 W/m.k

Explanation:

Thermal comductivity K = QL/A∆T

Q= Amount of heat transferred through the material in watts = 75W

L= Distance between two isothermal planes = 0.740mm

A= Area of the surface in square metres = 2m^2

∆T= Temperature change = (37-30) °C.

Solving this : K =( 75 x 0.740 x 10^-3)/ 2 x (37-30)

K = 3.964x 10 ^-3 W/m.k

A bike first accelerates from 0.0 m/s to 5.0 m/s in 4.5s, then continues at this constant speed for another 4.5 s. What is the t
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Assuming constant acceleration, the distance travelled in the first 4.5s is:

0.5*5.0*4.5 = 11.25m

The distance travelled in the next 4.5s is:

5.0*4.5 = 22.5m

The total distance travelled is:

11.25 + 22.5 = 33.75m

How could the combustibility of a substance influence how the substances used
aliina [53]

Answer:

Combustibility is a measure of how easily a substance bursts into flame, through fire or combustion. This is an important property to consider when a substance is used for construction or is being stored. It is also important in processes that produce combustible substances as a by-product.

A brick is dropped (zero initial speed) from the roof of a building. The brick strikes the ground in 1.90 s. You may ignore air
kozerog [31]

Answer:

h=17m

v=18.6 m/s

Explanation: The question can be solved by applying kinematic equations of motion

Data

u=0

a=g

t=1.9 secs

firstly to calculate the height

s=ut+0.5at^2\\h=ut+0.5at^2\\h=0*1.9+0.5*9.81*1.9^2\\h=17.707 m

to find the final velocity

v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*1.9\\v=18.639

The acceleration graph is straight line of equation y=9.8 as acceleration is constant:

Velocity graph is given by y=9.8x ( y as velocity and x as time):

Displacement graph is given by y=4.9x^2 ( x as time, y as displacement):

These graphs are only applicable from x=0 to x=1.9 ... ignore the other graph sections

Hanging by a thread. Two metal spheres hang from nylon threads and attract each other when brought close together. (i) What can
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

i)Two spheres hanging from nylon threads attract each other because either the two spheres are charged with opposite sign or only one of the spheres is charge so the other would be charge by induction of the charged sphere and hence attract each other.

ii)However, when they are touched the charges will be rearranged among the two sphere such that the two sphere have exact same magnitude and sign of charge and now they will repel each other or the  magnitude of charges on the two spheres become zero and they neither attract or repel each other.
