The specific heat capacity of concrete is 3.0 J/(g^{\circ}C)

Explanation:

When a certain amount of energy Q is supplied/given off to/from a sample of substance with mass m, the temperature of the substance increases/decreases by an amount \Delta T, according to the equation

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C_s is the specific heat capacity of the substance

\Delta T is the change in temperature of the substance

In this problem, we have:

m = 1 kg = 1000 g is the mass of the concrete slab

Q = -12,000 J is the amount of energy lost by the slab

\Delta T = 30-26= -4^{\circ}C is the change in temperature of the slab

Solving the equation for C_s, we find the specific heat capacity of concrete:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{-12,000}{(1000)(-4)}=3.0 J/(g^{\circ}C)

Alecsey [184]

When the sun, moon, and Earth are lined up (during a new or full moon), the solar tide adds to the lunar tide to produce extremely high  tides and very low tides, both of which are known as spring tides.

  • Basically describes a situation in astronomy where three celestial bodies align in a straight line as part of a gravitational system. The phrase is frequently used to describe how the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in a straight line.
  • The moon is responsible for causing high and low tides. The tidal force is produced by the moon's gravitational pull. Earth and its water protrude outward on both the side that is closest to and farthest from the moon as a result of the tidal force. These watery peaks are high tide

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
