Answer:The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second. So we'll have to
make that conversion.
KE = (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²
= (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)² (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²
= (725.5) · ( 40/3 )² · ( kg·m² / sec²)
= 128,978 joules (rounded)
True, an object at rest stays and rest and an object in motion stays in motion
That only happens when the temperature is below freezing and the air around the ice is dry.
