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.

Help quick physics area question

zlopas [31]

Answer: The area of brick in contact with the floor is 1539 $cm^{3}$ .

Explanation:

Given: Length = 19 cm

Width = 9 cm

Height = 9 cm

As the brick is rectangular in shape. Hence, its area will be calculated as follows.

$Area = length \times width \times height$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$Area = length \times width \times height\\= 19 cm \times 9 cm \times 9 cm\\= 1539 cm^{3}$

Thus, we can conclude that area of brick in contact with the floor is 1539 $cm^{3}$ .

A recent home energy bill indicates that a household used 475475 kWh (kilowatt‑hour) of electrical energy and 135135 therms for

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,.

A house hold power consumption is

475 KWh

Gas used is

135 thermal gas for month

Given that, 1 thermal = 29.3 KWh

Then,

135 thermal = 135 × 29.3 = 3955.5 KWh

So, total power used is

P = 475 + 3955.5

P =4430.5 KWh

Since 1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, the energy consumed for 1hr is

1KW = 1000W

P = energy / time

Energy = Power × time

E = 4430.5 KWhr × 1000W / KW × 3600s / hr

E = 1.595 × 10^10 J

So, using Albert Einstein relativity equation

E = mc²

m = E / c²

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^8 m/s

m = 1.595 × 10^10 / (3 × 10^8)²

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg

Then,

1 kg = 10^6 mg

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg × 10^6 mg / kg

m = 0.177mg

m ≈ 0.18 mg
