A hot-water bottle contains 787 g of water at 75∘C. If the liquid water cools to body temperature (37 ∘C), how many kilojoules o

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$Q = 787 gr * 1 \frac{cal}{gr C} *(37-75)C = -29906 cal$

So then the answer for this case would be 29906 cal but we need to convert this into KJ and we know that 1 cal = 4.184 J and if we convert we got:

$29906 cal *\frac{4.184 J}{1 cal}* \frac{1KJ}{1000 J}= 125.127 KJ$

Explanation:

For this case we know the mass of the water given :

$m = 787 gr$

And we know that the initial temperature for this water is $T_i =75 C$ .

We want to cool this water to the human body temperature $T_f = 37 C$

Since the temperatures given are not near to 0C (fusion point) or 100C (the boling point) we don't need to use latent heat, then the only heat involved for this case is the sensible heat given by:

$Q= m c_p \Delta T$

Where $c_p$ represent the specific heat for the water and this value from tables we know that $c_p =1 \frac{cal}{gr C}$ for the water.

So then we have everything in order to replace into the formula of sensible heat and we got:

$Q = 787 gr * 1 \frac{cal}{gr C} *(37-75)C = -29906 cal$

So then the answer for this case would be 29906 cal but we need to convert this into KJ and we know that 1 cal = 4.184 J and if we convert we got:

$29906 cal *\frac{4.184 J}{1 cal}* \frac{1KJ}{1000 J}= 125.127 KJ$

What happens when the crests of two waves overlap

Sergio [31]

There are two main types of wave interference: constructive interference and destructive interference. Constructive interference happens when the amplitude of the combined waves is larger than the amplitudes of the single waves. This can occur when the crests of two transverse waves overlap.

Hope this helps!!! :D

If a football player collides with a goal post, what forces are at work?

AlekseyPX

When a footballer collides with the goal post, the forces at work are the action and reaction forces. The player will exert an action force on the goal post, and then a reaction force from the goal post will stop the player. The reaction force call will cause pain and even injury to the player.
