In very cold weather, a significant mechanism for heat loss by the human body is energy expended in warming the air taken into t

he lungs with each breath. A) On a cold winter day when the temperature is -19.0 C, what is the amount of heat needed to warm to internal body temperature (37 C ) the 0.470 J (Kg *K) of air exchanged with each breath? Assume that the specific heat capacity of air is 1020 and that 1.0 L of air has a mass of 1.3 g . B) How much heat is lost per hour if the respiration rate is 21.0 breaths per minute?

A popcorn-maker transfers 250 J of energy into other energy stores every second. What is its power?
Yuliya22 [2420]
The power of the popcorn-maker is calculated as 250 watts. Given that energy is 250J and the time duration is 1 second, the power equates to energy divided by time: Power = 250 ÷ 1, resulting in 250 watts.

A 450g mass on a spring is oscillating at 1.2Hz. The totalenergy of the oscillation is 0.51J. What is the amplitude.
Sav [2226]

Response:

A=0.199

Clarification:

We know that  

Mass of spring=m=450 g==\frac{450}{1000}=0.45 kg

Where 1 kg=1000 g

Frequency of oscillation=

\nu=1.2Hz

Energy for oscillation is 0.51 J

To determine the amplitude of oscillations.

Energy for oscillator=E=\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2A^2

Where \omega=2\pi\nu=Angular frequency

A=Amplitude

\pi=\frac{22}{7}

Using the formula

0.51=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45(2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 1.2)^2A^2

A^2=\frac{2\times 0.51}{0.45\times (2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 1.2)^2}=0.0398

A=\sqrt{0.0398}=0.199

Therefore, the amplitude of oscillation=A=0.199

ValentinkaMS [2425]

Answer:

a. β = 8.23 K

b. β = 28.815 K

Explanation:

The performance of the heat pump can be calculated using the formula

β = TH / (TH - TC)

a.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = - 20 ° C + 273.15 K = 253.15 K

β = 288.15 K / (288.15 K - 253.15 K)

β = 8.23 K

b.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = 5 ° C + 273.15 K = 278.15 K

β = 288.15 K / (288.15 K - 278.15 K)

β = 28.815 K

The filament of the light bulb is made of tungsten. The resistance of the light bulb at room temperature (20∘C), measured by an
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Explanation:

The formula illustrating the relationship between resistance and temperature is as follows:

R =

R_{o} + \alpha [T_{2} - T_{1}]

where,   R = final resistance

       

= initial resistanceR_{o}

       

= temperature coefficient of resistivity\alpha

       

= final temperature     T_{2}

       

= initial temperatureT_{1}

Given data as follows.

     

T_{1} = (20 + 273) K = 293 K      

      R = 36 ohm,  

= 3 ohmT_{2}

         

= 0.0045R_{o}

Substituting the provided values into the above formula gives us the following.

        R = \alpha

        36 =

R_{o} + \alpha [T_{2} - T_{1}]      

=

3 + 0.0045 \times [T_{2} - 293]

                 = 7626.33 K

T_{2}Thus, it can be concluded that \frac{34.3185}{0.0045}the temperature of the light bulb at 12.0 V is 7626.33 K.
