Water has a high heat capacity. What does this term mean? a) Water is relatively resistant to an increase in temperature. b) Wat
1 answer:
Answer:a) Water is relatively resistant to an increase in temperature
Explanation:
Water has relatively high heat capacity i.e. it requires high amount of heat to raise a little increase in temperature.
Heat capacity is defined as ability of molecule to absorb heat . Mathematically heat capacity is defined as

Answer:
B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.
Explanation:
Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that
"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"
In this case, we can call
object A = the truck
object B = the mosquito
Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).
The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:
the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
Answer:
42244138.951 m
Explanation:
G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²
r = Radius of orbit from center of earth
M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg
m = Mass of Satellite
The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed
Speed = Distance / Time
The distance is the perimeter of the orbit
The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force
The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m
