Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.

Which is the correct unit for electrical power? a) amp b) volt c) watt d) coulomb

musickatia [10]

The correct unit for electrical power is "watt".

That’s actually the unit that measures the rate per time that electric energy is transferred.

Have a nice day! :)

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

It's 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. It represents a 1.6 centimeters difference between seasons.

Explanation:

The linear coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is about $1.2*10^{-7}\°C^{-1}$ . From the equation of linear thermal expansion, we have:

$L_f=L_0(1+\alpha\Delta T)$

Taking the winter day as the initial, and the summer day as the final, we can take the relationship between them:

$L_{summer}=L_{winter}[1+(1.2*10^{-7}\°C^{-1})(30\°C+5\°C)]\\\\L_{summer}=(1.0000042)L_{winter}$

It means that the bridge is 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. If we multiply it by the length of the bridge, we obtain that the difference is of about 1.6 centimeters between the two seasons.
