Water has the maximum specific heat capacity of any fluid.

The amount of heat that one gram of a material needs either absorb or lose in order to alter its temperature by a degree Celsius is known as specific heat. This equates to one caloric, or 4.184 Joules, for water.

<h3>High heat capacity: what is it?</h3>
  • Consider the amount of time it takes for a pot to get warm to the touch on the stove as opposed to how long it takes for the water within to warm up.
  • A substance with a high heat capacity may absorb a lot of heat before registering a change in temperature.
<h3>Why does water have the greatest ability to retain heat?</h3>

Although the hydrogen bonds in water are much too weak to be compared to intra - molecular bonds like covalently or ionic bonds, they are nevertheless strong enough to require a lot of energy to break. Water boils at 100°C for this reason.

Many people believe hydrogen bonding is the cause of water's high specific heat.

Professional Application: A 30,000-kg freight car is coasting at 0.850 m/s with negligible friction under a hopper that dumps 11
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

0.182 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = 30,000 kg, m2 = 110,000 kg, u1 = 0.85 m/s

let the velocity of loaded freight car is v

Use the conservation of momentum

m1 x u1 + m2 x 0 = (m1 + m2) x v

30,000 x 0.85 = (30,000 + 110,000) x v

v = 0.182 m/s

Gwen is researching the effects of a small asteroid impact in an area that has started to regrow after being hit ten years ago.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Gwen’s assumption of asteroid hit as long term change is incorrect. Asteroid hit is not a long term change, instead, it is a short term change.  

Explanation:

Examples of short term changes are drought, flood, volcanic eruption, etc. A short term change occurs quickly and can immediately affect organisms but it doesn’t become a reason for species extinction. The effects of a short term change don’t prevail over a long span of time.

Examples of long term changes are ice age, global warming, deforestation, etc. Unlike a short term change, it takes time but the consequences are far-reaching. It can lead to species extinction.

In this question, asteroid hit is a quick and unexpected hazard, unlike the slow long term environmental changes.

From Kepler's third law, an asteroid with an orbital period of 8 years lies at an average distance from the Sun equal to:
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The correct option is (B).

Explanation:

The Kepler's third law of motion gives the relationship between the orbital time period and the distance from the semi major axis such that,

T^2\propto a^3\\\\T^2=ka^3

It is mentioned that, an asteroid with an orbital period of 8 years. So,

(8)^2=ka^3\\\\64=ka^3\\\\a=(64)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\a=4\ AU

So, an asteroid with an orbital period of 8 years lies at an average distance from the Sun equal to 4 astronomical units.

What is the temperature of a gas in which the atoms are moving very very slowly?
pickupchik [31]
Cold.
Example: A frozen object (such as ice) is solid. Its molecules move extremely slow because the object itself isn't moving... It's like the skin on your bod... Imagine that wiggling and writhing on your bones. It's not like a gas, that can move freely and has no specific form or hold.
So again, the answer is Cold.
