Great experiment ! Everybody should try it if they can get the equipment.
It demonstrates a lot of things that are very hard to explain in words.
I hope the students remembered to tilt the axis of the globe. If they didn't,
and instead kept it straight up and down, then each city had pretty much
the same amount of bulb-light all the way around, and there were no seasons.
If the axis of the globe was tilted, then City-D had the least variation in
seasons. City-D is only 2° from the equator, so the sun is more direct
there all year around than it is at any of the others.

At 100 C (boiling point of water), it's density is 0.9584 g/cm^3. The volume of water lost is pi * 12.5^2 * 10 = 4908.738521 cm^3
The mass of water boiled off is 4908.738521 * 0.9584 = 4704.534999 grams.
Rounding to 4 significant figures gives me 4705 grams of water.
The heat of vaporization for water is 2257 J/g. So the total energy applied is
2257 J/g * 4705 g = 10619185 J
Now we need to divide that by how many seconds we've spent boiling water. That would be 45 * 60 = 2700 seconds.
Finally, the rate of heat transfer in Joules per second will be the total number of joules divided by the total number of seconds. So
10619185 J / 2700 s = 3933 J/s = 3933 (kg m^2/s^2)/s = 3933 (kg m^2/s^3)
= 3933 watts</span>
Answer:
1.125m/s^2
Explanation:
Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with respect to time. Mathematically
v^2= u^2+2as
Where a,v,u and s are the acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and distance respectively.
a = ?
u = 0m/s
v = 15m/s
s = 100m
Substituting the values into the formula above
v^2= u^2+2as
15^2=0^2+2×a×100
225= 0+200a
225= 200a
Divide both sides by 200
225/200 = 200a/200
a= 1.125m/s^2
Hence the acceleration of the car is 1.125m/s^2.
Note that the car accelerated uniformly from rest, that was why the initial velocity was 0m/s
Answer:
Melt.
Explanation:
When rocks melt, they do so slowly and gradually because most rocks are made of several minerals, which all have different melting points; moreover, the physical and chemical relationships controlling the melting are complex. As a rock melts, for example, its volume changes. When enough rock is melted, the small globules of melt link up and soften the rock.
Under normal conditions, mantle rock like peridotite shouldn't melt in the Earth's upper mantle. However, by adding water you can lower the melting point of the rock. Alternatively, by decompressing the rock, you can bring it to a pressure where the melting point is lower. In both cases, basalt magma will form and considering it is hotter and less dense than the surrounding rock, it will percolate towards the surface and some of that erupts.
Answer:
Explanation:
Time taken by stone to cover horizontal distance
where t is time, h is height of whirling the stone in horizontal circle, g is gravitational constant, Substituting h for 2.1 m and g for 9.81
= 0.654654 seconds
t=0.65 s
Velocity, v= distance/time
v=10/0.65= 15.27525 m/s
v=15.3 m/s
where r is radius of circle, substituting r with 1.1m
Therefore, centripetal acceleration is
