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

<span>1.5 minutes per rotation. The formula for centripetal force is A = v^2/r where A = acceleration v = velocity r = radius So let's substitute the known values and solve for v. So F = v^2/r 0.98 m/s^2 = v^2/200 m 196 m^2/s^2 = v^2 14 m/s = v So we need a velocity of 14 m/s. Let's calculate how fast the station needs to spin. Its circumference is 2*pi*r, so C = 2 * 3.14159 * 200 m C = 1256.636 m And we need a velocity of 14 m/s, so 1256.636 m / 14 m/s = 89.75971429 s Rounding to 2 significant digits gives us a rotational period of 90 seconds, or 1.5 minutes.</span>

A 225 kg red bumper car is moving at 3.0 m/s. It hits a stationary 180 kg blue bumper car. The red and blue bumper cars combine
Alex Ar [27]

Given


m1(mass of red bumper): 225 Kg


m2 (mass of blue bumper): 180 Kg


m3(mass of green bumper):150 Kg


v1 (velocity of red bumper): 3.0 m/s


v2 (final velocity of the combined bumpers): ?




The law of conservation of momentum states that when two bodies collide with each other, the momentum of the two bodies before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. This can be mathemetaically represented as below:


Pa= Pb


Where Pa is the momentum before collision and Pb is the momentum after collision.


Now applying this law for the above problem we get


Momentum before collision= momentum after collision.


Momentum before collision = (m1+m2) x v1 =(225+180)x 3 = 1215 Kgm/s


Momentum after collision = (m1+m2+m3) x v2 =(225+180+150)x v2

=555v2

Now we know that Momentum before collision= momentum after collision.


Hence we get


1215 = 555 v2


v2 = 2.188 m/s


Hence the velocity of the combined bumper cars is 2.188 m/s

xeze [42]
Velocity of submarine A is vs = 11.0m/s
frequency emitted by submarine A. F = 55.273 × 10∧3HZ
Velocity of submarine B = vO = 3.00m/s
The given equation is
f' = ((V + vO) ((v - vS)) × f
The observer on submarine detects the frequency f'.
The sign of vO should be positive as the observer of submarine B is moving away from the source of submarine A.
The speed of the sound used in seawater is 1533m/s
The frequency which is detected by submarine B is 
fo = fs (V -vO/ v +vs)
= 53.273 × 10∧3hz) ((1533 m/s - 4.5 m/s)/ (1533 m/s +11 m/s)
fo = 5408 HZ

Juan and Kuri are on a carousel. Juan is closer to the center of the carousel than Kuri. Which statement describes their tangent
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

Explanation:

Since Juan is closer to the center and Kuri is away from the center so we can say that Juan will move smaller distance in one complete revolution

As we know that the distance moved in one revolution is given as

d = 2\pi r

also the time period of revolution for both will remain same as they move with the time period of carousel

Now we can say that the speed is given as

v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

so Juan will have less tangential speed. so correct answer will be

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer

Hi,

correct answer is {D} 3.5 m/s²

Explanation

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Acceleration can occur when a moving body is speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.

Acceleration is calculated by the equation =change in velocity/change in time

a= {velocity final-velocity initial}/(change in time)

a=v-u/Δt

The units for acceleration is meters per second square m/s²

In this example, initial velocity =2.0m/s⇒u

Final velocity=44.0m/s⇒v

Time taken for change in velocity=12 s⇒Δt

a= (44-2)/12  = 42/12

3.5 m/s²

Best Wishes!
