Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.

How efficient is a pulley system if it enables you to lift a 700.0 Newton engine (Fr) 0.550 meters (dr) if you exerted 35.7 Newtons (Fe) of force while pulling 11.43 meters (de) of rope?
Answer:
96.3%
Explanation:
Efficiency = Work input/Work output * 100%
Work done = Force * distance\
Work done by the engine is the work output = 700 * 0.55
Work output = 423.5Nm
Work done by you is the work input = 35.7*11.43
Work input = 408.051Nm
Efficiency = 408.051/423.5 * 100
Efficiency = 0.963 * 100
Efficiency = 96.3%
Hence the efficiency of the pulley system is 96.3%
Two resistors, A and B, are connected in series to a 6.0 V battery. A voltmeter connected across resistor A measures a potential difference of 4.0 V. When the two resistors are connected in parallel across the 6.0 V battery, the current in B is found to be 2.0 A. Find the resistances of A and B.
Answer:
Resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω
Explanation:
When the two resistors are in series, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B.
Given that V₁ + V₂ = 6.0 V and V₁ = 4.0 V,
V₂ = 6.0 V - V₁ = 6.0 V - 4.0 V = 2.0 V
Also, let the current in series be I.
So, V₁ = IR₁ and V₂ = IR₂
I = V₁/R₁ and I = V₂/R₂
equating both expressions, we have
V₁/R₁ = V₂/R₂
4.0 V/R₁ = 2.0 V/R₂
dividing through by 2.0 V, we have
2/R₁ = 1/R₂
taking the reciprocal, we have
R₂ = R₁/2
R₁ = 2R₂
From the parallel connection, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B. Since it is parallel, V₁ = V₂ = V = 6.0 V
Also, V₂ = I₂R₂ where I₂ = current in resistor B = 2.0 A and R₂ = resistance of resistor B
So, R₂ = V₂/I₂
= 6.0 V/2.0 A
= 3.0 Ω
R₁ = 2R₂
= 2(3.0 Ω)
= 6.0 Ω
So, resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω
The resistance of A is 6Ω while for B is 3Ω.
Definition of potential differencePotential difference is the amount of work done in moving a unit charge from one point to another.
When the two resistors are connected in parallel across the 6.0 V battery, the current in B is found to be 2.0 A, hence:
2 * Rb = 6 V
Rb = 3Ω
For the series connection:
I * 3 = (6 - 4)
I = 2/3 A
Hence:
(2/3) * Ra = 4
Ra = 6Ω
The resistance of A is 6Ω while for B is 3Ω.

A hydrogen atom has a radius of 2.5 x 10-11 m
Determine the radius of a magnesium atom.
Answer:
[tex]R = 1.5* 10^{-10}m[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]r = 2.5 * 10^{-11}m[/tex] -- radius of hydrogen atom
See attachment
Required
Determine the radius of magnesium atom (R)
From the attachment, the ratio of a hydrogen atom to a magnesium atom is:
[tex]Ratio = 6mm : 36mm[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]Ratio =1 : 6[/tex]
Represent the radius as ratio:
[tex]Ratio = r : R[/tex]
Substitute [tex]r = 2.5 * 10^{-11}m[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = 2.5 * 10^{-11}m : R[/tex]
Equate both ratios
[tex]2.5 * 10^{-11}m : R = 1 : 6[/tex]
Express as fraction
[tex]\frac{2.5 * 10^{-11}m}{R} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Cross Multiply
[tex]R * 1 = 2.5 * 10^{-11}m * 6[/tex]
[tex]R * 1 = 2.5 * 6* 10^{-11}m[/tex]
[tex]R * 1 = 15* 10^{-11}m[/tex]
[tex]R = 15* 10^{-11}m[/tex]
[tex]R = 1.5*10* 10^{-11}m[/tex]
[tex]R = 1.5* 10^{1-11}m[/tex]
[tex]R = 1.5* 10^{-10}m[/tex]
Hence, the radius of the magnesium atom is: [tex]1.5* 10^{-10}m[/tex]

Why is it important for body cell to have twice and many chromosomes as sex cells?
Answer:
Why sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body? As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half. Why? The zygote must contain genetic information from the mother and from the father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells.

A reference point allows you to determine the _____________of an object state state speed speed position position dimension
Answer:
Position.
Explanation:
Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.
This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.
Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of acceleration, time, distance, speed, velocity, displacement, position, etc.
A reference point refers to a location or physical object from which the motion (movement) of another physical object or body can be determined.
For example, a point on a map is considered to be a reference point because it represents the starting point of an object or person in motion.
Hence, a reference point allows you to determine the position an object.

An impulse of 12.2kg m/s is delivered to an object whose initial momentum is 4.5kgm/s. What is the object's final momentum?
Answer:
Object's final momentum = 16.7 kg-m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Impulse, J = 12.2 kg-m/s
Initial momentum, [tex]P_i=4.5\ kg-m/s[/tex]
We need to find the object's final momentum. We know that the impulse is equal to the change in momentum. So,
Impulse = change in momentum
[tex]J=P_f-P_i\\\\P_f=J+P_i\\\\P_f=12.2+4.5\\\\P_f=16.7\ kg-m/s[/tex]
So, the object's final momentum is 16.7 kg-m/s.
Given:
Impulse, [tex]J = 12.2 kg-m/s[/tex]Initial momentum, [tex]P_i = 4.5 \ kg-m/s[/tex]We know the relation,
→ [tex]Impulse = Change \ in \ momentum[/tex]
or,
→ [tex]J = P_f-P_i[/tex]
then,
→ [tex]P_f = J+P_i[/tex]
By substituting the values,
[tex]= 12.2+4.5[/tex]
[tex]= 16.7 \ kg-m/s[/tex]
Thus the above answer is right.

P = 928.09 Pa
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a gas cylinder, m = 90 kg
The diameter of the cylinder, d = 1.1 m
Radius, r = 0.55 m
We need to find the ground pressure. The pressure is equal to force per unit area. So,
[tex]P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{mg}{\pi r^2}\ (A\ is\ area\ of\ base)\\\\P=\dfrac{90\times 9.8}{\pi \times (0.55)^2}\\\\P=928.09\ Pa[/tex]

What is the latent heat of fusion?The latent heat of fusion is the amount of thermal energy required to change the phase of a substance from a solid to a liquid state without a change in temperature.
When a substance is in a solid state, the molecules are packed closely together and are held in a rigid structure by intermolecular forces. As heat is added to the solid, the temperature of the substance increases until it reaches the melting point, which is the temperature at which the solid starts to change into a liquid.
At the melting point, the added thermal energy is used to break the intermolecular bonds that hold the molecules in the solid structure. The energy absorbed during this process causes the molecules to become less ordered and to move more freely, resulting in a liquid state. However, during the melting process, the temperature of the substance remains constant until all of the solid has melted.
The latent heat of fusion is a property of the substance and is defined as the amount of energy required per unit mass to change the phase from solid to liquid. It is usually measured in units of joules per kilogram (J/kg) or kilojoules per kilogram (kJ/kg).
The latent heat of fusion is an important concept in thermodynamics and is used in many applications, such as the melting of ice, the solidification of molten metals, and the formation of igneous rocks.
Here in the Question,
To calculate the thermal energy needed to melt 1.25 kg of water at its melting point, we can use the formula:
Q = mass x latent heat of fusion
where Q is the thermal energy required, and the latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change the phase of a substance from solid to liquid without changing its temperature.
Substituting the given values, we get:
Q = 1.25 kg x 333 kJ/kg
Q = 416.25 kJ
Therefore, 1.25 kilogram of water requires 416.25 kJ of thermal energy to melt at its melting point.
