If you go to the beach on a hot summer day, the temperature of the sand is much higher than the temperature of the water. If we

assume the same amount of energy was supplied by the sun to both the sand and the water, does sand or water require more energy to raise its temperature?

Water has a higher specific heat so it requires more energy to heat than sand.

Water requires more energy to raise its temperature than sand does.  In fact, of all the common substances that we see around us every day, water is one of the BEST at storing heat energy.

This is a big part of the reason why we use frozen water to cool our soda, instead of cold wood or cold steel balls.  

It's also a big part of the reason why we warm up the bed in the Winter with a hot water bag, instead of a bag of hot rocks or hot BBs.

A bat strikes a 0.145-kg baseball. Just before impact, the ball is traveling horizontally to the right at 60.0 m/s , and it leav
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

F = -307.4 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.145 kg

Initial speed of the baseball, u = 60 m/s

Final speed of the baseball, v=65\ cos(30)=56.29\ m/s

Time of contact, t=1.75\ ms=1.75\times 10^{-3}\ s

(a) It is assumed to find the horizontal component of average force. It is given by :

F=m\dfrac{v-u}{t}

F=0.145\dfrac{56.29-60}{1.75\times 10^{-3}}

F = -307.4 N

So, the horizontal component of average force is 307.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
