It is a well known fact that the ocean modifies the climate favorably so as to keep the ambient temperature warmer than it usually is inland away from the ocean so that is why the nightime drop in temperature will be less near the sea than inland.

The temperature drops in the towns nearby the seaside is less as compared to the towns that are away from seaside because <u><em>the water has high heat capacity as compared to land and it compensates the heat in the nearby areas to keep them warm. </em></u>

Further Explanation:

During the day time, the water as well as the land is heated by the light coming from the sun. The almost equal amount of energy is received by water as well as the land. But the heat capacity of the water is more than the heat capacity of water and due to this water can retain more heat as compared to that of the land.

At night, when the temperature of the air above the surface decreases, the area away from the sea side uses the heat retained by the land to compensate the temperature drop but the amount of heat is very less.

Therefore, the drop in temperature in the area away from the seaside is comparatively higher.

I the areas near the seaside, the cold air above the land absorbs heat from the water which has higher amount of heat and the temperature drop of the air is compensated significantly. This leads to a very slight difference in the night temperature as compared to the day temperature in the towns near seaside.

Thus, the temperature drops in the towns nearby the seaside is less as compared to the towns that are away from seaside because <u><em>the water has high heat capacity as compared to land and it compensates the heat in the nearby areas to keep them warm. </em></u>

A 47.4 kg student runs down the sidewalk and jumps with a horizontal speed of 42 m/s onto a stationary skateboard
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

3 kg

Explanation:

Momentum before = momentum after

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

After jumping on the skateboard, the student and the skateboard have the same velocity, so v₁ = v₂.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

(47.4 kg) (4.2 m/s) + m (0 m/s) = (47.4 kg + m) (3.95 m/s)

m = 3 kg

A marble is thrown horizontally with a speed of 7 m/s. When the marble lands, it hastraveled a horizontal displacement of 30 m.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

t = 4.28 s

Explanation:

The horizontal speed of a marble = 7 m/s

The horizontal displacement covered by the marble = 30 m

We need to find the time for which the marble is in air. Let the time is t. Using the formula for speed to find it as follows :

s=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{s}\\\\t=\dfrac{30\ m}{7\ m/s}\\\\=4.28\ s

So, it will in the air for 4.28 s.

1. If two objects collide and one is initially at rest, is it possible for both to be at rest after the collision? Is it possibl
NeX [460]

Answer:

(a)If two objects collide and one is initially at rest, is it possible for both to be at rest after the collision?

No. Because if you have initial momentum P⃗ ≠0 , if both of the objects were at rest after the collision the total momentum of the system would be P⃗ =0 , which violates conservation of momentum

(b)Is it possible for only one to be at rest after the collision?

Yes, that is perfectly possible. It characteristically, happens when both objects are of the same mass. When two objects of the same mass collide and Kinetic energy is conserved (Perfectly Elastic collision) then the two objects interchange velocities.
