<span>It tells how hot it really feels when the relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature.

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.

A ball of mass m on a string of length L is attached to a pivot. The ball is released from rest while the string is parallel to
mash [69]

Answer:

L/2

Explanation:

Neglect any air or other resistant, for the ball can wrap its string around the bar, it must rotate a full circle around the bar. This means the ball should be able to swing to the top position where it's directly above the bar. By the law of energy conservation, this happens when the ball is at the same level as where it's previously released vertically. It means the swinging radius around the bar must be at least half of the string length.

So the distance d between the bar and the pivot should be at least L/2

How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

A balloon is ascending at 12.4m/s at a height of 81.3m above the ground when a package is dropped. a) How long did it take to re
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

3secs

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

height H= 81.3m

Velocity v = 12.4m/s

Required

Time it take to reach the ground

Using the equation of motion

H = ut+1/2gt²

81.3 = 12.4t + 1/2(9.8)t²

81.3 = 12.4t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 12.4t - 81.3 = 0

Using the general formula to find t

t = -12.4±√12.4²-4(4.9)(-81.3)/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√153.76+1593.48/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√1747.24/9.8

t = -12.4+41.8/9.8

t = 29.4/9.8

t = 3secs

Hence it took 3secs to reach the ground

A 2.0 moles of a monatomic ideal gas expands isothermally from state a to state b, Pa = 600 Pa, Va = 3.0 m3, and Vb = 9.0 m3.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) Pb= 200 PA

b).work done= -3600 joules

c).3600joules

D).the system works under isothermal condition so no heat was transferred

Explanation:

2.0 moles of a monatomic ideal gas expands isothermally from state a to state b, Pa = 600 Pa, Va = 3.0 m3, and Vb = 9.0 m3.

a). PbVb= PaVa

Pb= (PaVa)/VB

Pb= (600*3)/9

Pb= 1800/9

Pb= 200 PA

b). work done= n(Pb-Pa)(Vb-Va)

Work done= 2*(200-600)(9-3)

Work done= -600(6)

Work done=- 3600 Pam³

work done= -3600 joules

C). Change in internal energy I the work done on the system

= 3600joules

D).the system works under isothermal condition so no heat was transferred
