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.

A sled is moving at a constant speed down a surface inclined at 45 degrees with the horizontal and travels 30meter in 4 seconds.

Vika [28.1K]

Constant speed along the inclined surface = 30 m / 4 s = 7.5 m/s

Vertical speed = inclined speed * sin(45) = 7.5 *√2 / 2 = 5.3 m/s

Answer: 5.3 m/s

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

$v = \lambda * f (1)$

Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

$f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)$

⇒ f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$v =\frac{d}{t} (3)$
