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

An airplane is flying from Dallas, Texas to Pensacola, Florida. Flying at maximum velocity, it encounters strong winds moving at

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

G. It will take twice as long.

Explanation:

Let's call $v$ the original speed of the plane and $d$ the distance between Dallas and Pensacola. The time the plane originally takes to complete the flight is

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

In this problem, we are told that the plane encounters wind moving at half of its speed: $\frac{v}{2}$ , in the opposite direction. This means that the new speed of the plane is

$v'=v-\frac{v}{2}=\frac{v}{2}$

And so, the time the plane takes now to complete the flight is

$t'=\frac{d}{v/2}=2\frac{d}{v}=2t$

So, the plane takes twice the time as before.

As the population in a small town grows, a new water treatment plant is built. The plant is built on a local river where it can

abruzzese [7]

Treatment water from the plant would affects the communities present in the downstream of the river.

Answer: Option (a)

Explanation:

Wastewater treatment plant is a process used to treat the water that flows from the rivers, streams, and lakes.This plant removes the dust, sand, sediments present in the river water.

When this treated water is released into the downriver stream, it affects the health of aquatic organisms present in that stream.Use of chemicals in treating the wastewater may cause genetic problems to the communities present in that region.

It also causes air pollution and more energy is needed for the treatment process and thus affects the ecosystem.
