Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.

Answer:

88.8 m/s= Speed of wave propagation in the required mode.(3 loops)

Explanation:

When there are 3 loops.  

the total length = L = 3 λ /2

⇒ λ  = 2 L / 3 = 2 ( 1.11 ) / 3 = 0.74 m

Velocity = v = f λ = (120)(0.74) = 88.8 m/s

What is table salt (NaCl) formed by?
Rzqust [24]
NaCl is a compound formed by a chemical reaction between Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine). Sodium is an alkai metal in Group One of the Periodic Table, and it is very reactive. All alkai metals react violently with water and they are often found combined in nature because they are that reactive. Chlorine is a halogen in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and they are very reactive.

A ball is bouncing to a height that is 1/3 of the previous height after every bounce. What kind of sequence is this? How could y
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer and Explanation:

The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence

For example let the initial height is 243 fit

After one bounce it will reach  243/3 =81 feet

After second bounce 81/3=27 feet

After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet

After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet

So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........

Here r=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}

Sum of infinite GP = \frac{a}{1-r}

From this formula we can find the total distance traveled by the ball

How do we calculate the value of work?
Katarina [22]
The percent complete is calculated by dividing the quantity of material progressed at a point in time by the total quantity required for the project. The resulting percent is multiplied by the current agreed committed value of the material item to obtain the VOWD for that item.
