How are the climates of coastal regions affected by the specific heat capacity of water?

Physics
1 answer:
Katen [24]3 years ago
5 0

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.

ozzi

Answer:

e. 400 Hz

Explanation:

In closed organ pipe,  only odd harmonics of fundamental note is possible .

The fundamental frequency is 200 Hz . Then other overtones will be having following frequencies .

200 x 3 , 200 x 5 , 200 x 7 , 200 x 9 etc

600 Hz , 1000 Hz , 1400 Hz  , 1800 Hz .

Frequency not possible is 400 Hz .

A migrating robin flies due north with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the air. The air moves due east with a speed of 6.3 m/s rel
Sonja [21]

consider east-west direction along X-axis  and north-south direction along Y-axis

V_{ra} = velocity of migrating robin relative to air = 12 j m/s

(where "j" is unit vector in Y-direction)

V_{ag} = velocity of air relative to ground = 6.3 i m/s

(where "i" is unit vector in X-direction)

V_{rg} = velocity of migrating robin relative to ground = ?

using the equation

V_{rg} = V_{ra} + V_{ag}

V_{rg} = 12 j + 6.3 i

V_{rg} = 6.3 i + 12 j

magnitude : sqrt((6.3)² + (12)²) = 13.6 m/s

direction : tan⁻¹(12/6.3) = 62.3 deg north of east
