It tells how hot it really feels when the relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature.
hope this helps

The heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature. This has important considerations for the human body's comfort. When the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.

What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? (Site 1)

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range

Explanation:

Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

(4A) The mass of Earth is 5.972 * 10^24 kg, and the radius of Earth is 6,371 km.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

x₁ = 345100 km

Explanation:

The direction of the attraction forces between the earth and the object, and between the moon and the object, are in opposite direction and (along the straight line between the centers of earth and moon) and as gravity is always attractive, the net force will become zero when both forces are equal. According to this:

Let call "x₁" distance between center of the earth and the object, and

"x₂" the distance between center of the moon and the object, Mt mass of the earth, Ml mass of the moon, m₀ mass of the object

we can express:

F₁ ( force between earth and the object )

F₁ = K * Mt * m₀/ ( x₁)² K is a gravitational constant

F₂ (force between mn and the object)

F₂ = K * Ml * m₀ / (x₂)²

Then:

F₁ = F₂ K*Mt*m₀ / x₁² = K*Ml*m₀ /x₂²

Or simplifying the expression

Mt/ x₁² = Ml/ x₂²

We know that x₁ + x₂ = 384000 Km then

x₁ = 384000 - x₂

Mt/( 384000 - x₂)² = Ml / x₂²

Mt * x₂² = Ml *( 384000 - x₂)²

We need to solve for x₂

Mt * x₂² = Ml *[ ( 384000)² + x₂² - 768000*x₂]

By substitution:

5.972*10∧24*x₂² = 7.348*10∧22 * [ 1.47*10∧11 ] + 7.348*10∧22*x₂² -

7.348*10∧22*768000*x₂

Simplifying by 10∧22

5.972*10²*x₂² = 7.348* [ 1.47*10∧11 ] + 7.348*x₂²- 7.348*768000*x₂

Sorting out

5.972*10²*x₂²- 7.348*x₂² = 10.80*10∧11 - 56,43* 10∧5*x₂

(597,2 - 7,348 )* x₂² = 10.80*10∧11 - 56.43*10∧5*x₂

590x₂² + 56.43*10∧5*x₂ - 10.80*10∧11 = 0

Is a second degree equation

x₂ = -56.43*10∧5 ± √3184*10∧10 + 25488*10∧11 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + √3184*10∧10 + 25488*10∧11 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + √3184*10∧10 + 254880*10∧10 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + 10∧5 [ √3184 + 254880 ] /1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + 508* 10∧5 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = 451.27*10∧5/1160

x₂ ₁ = 4512.7*10∧4 /1160

x₂ ₁ = 3.89*10∧4 km (distance between the moon and the object)

x₂ ₁ = 38900 km

x₂ = 38900 km

We dismiss the other solution because is negative and there is not a negative distance

Then the distance between the earth and the object is:

x₁ = 384000 - x₂

x₁ = 384000 - 38900

x₁ = 345100 km

psychology chapter 7, principles of learning; I am the process whereby animals are taught a complicated response by being reward

jeyben [28]

Answer: Burrhus Frederic Skinner's Operant Conditioning.

B.F. Skinner believed that to understand behavior, in the best way, is to look at the root causes or reasons of an action and its outcomes.

Skinner proposes the Law of Effect-Reinforcement. Here,he differentiated the positively reinforced behavior or the strengthened behavior, the negatively reinforced behavior (removal of the unpleasant experience), and weakened behavior because of punishment.

In positive reinforcement, behavior is strengthened through providing an outcome, an effect that an individual finds rewarding. Negative reinforcement also strengthens behavior because the unpleasant experience was removed. Punishment on the other hand is an opposite to reinforcement. Instead of increasing the response, it eliminates it or weakens it.

We decided to make an iced latte by adding ice to a 200 mL hot latte at 45 °C. The ice starts out at 0 C. How much ice do we nee

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

m = 77.75 g

Explanation:

Here we know that at equilibrium the temperature of the system will be 10 degree C

so heat given by hot latte = heat absorbed by the ice

now we have

heat given by latte = $m s\Delta T$
