Water makes a good coolant because it has a ____.

2 answers:

8 0

Water makes a good coolant because it has a (A) high specific heat. The higher the specific heat, the slower it reaches the point of boiling. Thus, since its specific is very high, then it makes a good coolant because the moment it reaches it lowest point, the transition from cold to hot will be slower.

A good coolant must be able to absorb large amount of heat, must be cheap and easily available. we know that water has high specific heat which means that it can absorb large amount of heat in it. it is also easily available and cheap. This makes water a good coolant. So the correct choice is

a. high specific heat

Manganese-52 has a half-life of 6 days. How many days would a scientist have to wait for the radioactivity to be 12.5% the start

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Let N = N0 where N0 is the number of atoms originally present.

In 6 days N = N0 / 2

In 12 days N = N0 / 4

In 18 days N = N0 / 8 = .125 N0

So it would take 18 days.

Reasons why using mirrors to generate electricity is not a common practice.

olganol [36]

A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors. They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.

620 J of heat is added to the cylinder of an engine, which causes the gas inside to expand. As a result, the piston of the engin

Maru [420]

Answer:

400 J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is 620 J

Explanation:

The given information are;

The heat added to the cylinder = 620 J

The force applied by the piston of the engine = 8.0 kN = 8,000 N

The distance over which the force moves (the piston) = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

The work done (by the engine) = Force × Distance = 8,000 N × 0.05 m = 400 J

The internal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the system

Therefore, given that the internal energy, U, is the sum total of the energy in the system

∴ U = The heat supplied to the system = 620 J

Which gives;

400 J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is 620 J.
