Why is the ocean warmer than the air at night

You see, during the day the ocean collects heat from the sun. So the air above the ocean get warm at night, but the rest of the air on the land gets cooler because water has the ability to collect energy from the Sun.

The heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A. Initially A is at 300 K and B at 450 K. They are placed in thermal cont

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The final temperature of both objects is 400 K

Explanation:

The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;

Q = cΔT

where;

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

The heat transferred by the object A per unit mass is given by;

Q(A) = caΔT

where;

ca is the specific heat capacity of object A

The heat transferred by the object B per unit mass is given by;

Q(B) = cbΔT

where;

cb is the specific heat capacity of object B

The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A

Q(A) = -Q(B)

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

The final temperature of the two objects is given by

$T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b}$

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

$T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b} \\\\T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + 2C_aT_b}{C_a + 2C_a}\\\\T_2 = \frac{c_a(T_a + 2T_b)}{3C_a} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_a + 2T_b}{3}\\\\T_2 = \frac{300 + (2*450)}{3}\\\\T_2 = 400 \ K$

Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.

The main illustration in the video shows the life track of a one-solar mass star. Each point along this track represents _______

REY [17]

Each point along the track of one solar mass star represents the star's surface temperature and luminosity at one time.

<h3>What is the one-solar mass star?</h3>

A star having a mass equal to the mass of the Sun is called a one-solar mass star.

Its life track shows the luminous intensity as well as the surface temperature.

A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

First we define our variables

V0=29.4

a=-9.8

V=0

We have to find the maximum displacement , which I will define as X

We use formula v^2=v0^2+2aX

All we do is substitute our values

0=29.4^2-19.6X

29.4^2=19.6X

X=29.4^2/19.6=44.1

The drawing shows an adiabatically isolated cylinder that is divided initially into two identical parts by an adiabatic partitio

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

$\gamma = 5/3$

T1 = 525 K

T2 = 275 K

We know that

$P_1 = \frac{nRT_1}{v}$

$P_2 = \frac{nrT_2}{v}$

n and v remain same at both side. so we have

$\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{525}{275} = \frac{21}{11}$

$P_1 = \frac{21}{11} P_2$ ..............1

let final pressure is P and temp $T_1 {f} and T_2 {f}$

$P_1^{1-\gamma} T_1^{\gamma} = P^{1 - \gamma}T_1 {f}^{\gamma}$

$P_1^{-2/3} T_1^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_1 {f}^{5/3}$ ..................2

similarly

$P_2^{-2/3} T_2^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_2 {f}^{5/3}$ .............3

divide 2 equation by 3rd equation

$\frac{21}{11}^{-2/3} \frac{21}{11}^{5/3} = [\frac{T_1 {f}}{T_2 {f}}]^{5/3}$

$T_1 {f} = 1.48 T_2 {f}$

thus, temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right
