The suspended ash made for some some spectacular sunsets! Sulfuric acid was spread worldwide, increasing acidity of rain. Ash deflected energy from the sun, causing a slight drop on global temps for a few years.
Answer:
Precisely, water has to absorb 4,184 Joules of heat (1 calorie) for the temperature of one kilogram of water to increase 1°C. For comparison sake, it only takes 385 Joules of heat to raise 1 kilogram of copper 1°C.
Explanation:
I think the Answer is A (An elephant walking 1.5 m/s along the ground), and B (A jet flying across the sky 4,000 m above the ground.
Here we have mass that moves at ceratin speed. This means that we have momentum. The law that must be observed is law of conservation of momentum. It states that momentum before certain event is equal to a momentum after that event. Here we have three masses so we can write this as:

Before the firecracker blows a coconut does not move, so left side is equal to 0:

We know that m1=m2=m and m3=2m. Also we are asked to find v3f so we can rewrite formula:

We must take in consideration that two parts with same mass do not move in same direction. The center of mass of these two parts moves between them at angle of 45° with respect to both south and west. The speed of a center of mass is:

This speed we can insert into formula for v3f:

We can see that part of a coconut with biggest mass has same speed as center of mass of two other parts. Negative sign shows that direction is opposite to direction of two pats. Biggest part moves towards north-east.
