3 0
Hey!!

here is your answer >>>

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit substance!. The most common example!. The specific heat of water is 1 !. And, lot of plays and animals live under the water and if the specific heat of the water would be low, then the aquatic organisms would die, but the specific heat is high and it is hard for the sun to increase the temperature!.

Hope my answer helps!

A sun-like star is barely visible to naked-eye observers on earth when it is a distance of 7.0 light years, or 6.6 * 1016 m, awa
igomit [66]

Answer:

At a distance of 1376.49 candle emits 0.2 watt power

Explanation:

Distance between Sun and earth 6.6\times 10^{16}m

Sun emits a power of P=3.8\times 10^{26}watt

Power emitted by candle = 0.20 watt

We know that brightness is given by

B=\frac{P}{4\pi d^2}

So \frac{3.8\times 10^{26}}{4\pi (6\times 10^{16})^2}=\frac{0.20}{4\pi d^2}

3.8\times 10^{26}d^2=7.2\times 10^{32}

d^2=1.89\times 10^6

d=1376.49m

So at a distance of 1376.49 candle emits 0.2 watt power

A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90 cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at it
kupik [55]

Answer: The mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

Explanation:

Using the equation of fundamental frequency of a taut string.

f = (1/2L)*√(T/μ) .... (Eqn1)

Where

f= frequency in Hertz =80Hz

T = Tension in the string = Mg

M represent the mass of the substance (sculpture) =?

g= 9.8m/s^2

L= Length of the string=90cm=0.9m

μ= mass density = mass of string /Length of string

mass of string =5g=0.005kg

L=0.9m

μ=0.005/0.9 = 0.0056kg/m

Using (Eqn1)

80= 1/(2*0.9) √(T/0.0056)

144= √(T/0.0056)

Square both sides

20736= T/0.0056

T= 116.12N

Recall that T =Mg

116.12= M * 9.8

M=116.12/9.8

M= 11.8kg

Therefore the mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

How often do spring and neap tides occur
iragen [17]

Answer:

Without thought to the season, Spring tides happen [two times] every [lunar] month the whole year. When the Sun and the Moon are quadratic, Neap tides also happen two times during a month.

Here is a picture to help show you:

(With the Spring tide, the moon is toward the "left" or "right" of the Earth. With the Neap tide, the moon is "above" or "below/under" the Earth. It's kind of hard to explain).
