Answer:

Explanation:

Often times, the property of air masses is a function of where they originate from especially with respect to latitude.

An air mass is certain amount of air with some unique set of temperature and vapor component.

Air masses differs from places to places based on where they originate.
Continental air masses are usually dry and cold because there is little to no water on a land mass.
Air masses that originates from the surface of the ocean are predominantly moist.
In polar regions, the air mass is cold.
Around the tropics, they are usually warm due to insolation here.

A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper; the aluminum and the copper are in

butalik [34]

Answer:

copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

Explanation:

Hot piece of copper is made in contact with cold piece of aluminium

So here thermal energy transfer will take place from copper to aluminium

so by energy conservation we can say that heat given by copper is same as the heat absorbed by aluminium.

now we have

$m_1s_1\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2\Delta T_2$

here we know that

$s_1$ = specific heat capacity of copper

$s_2$ = specific heat capacity of aluminum

given that specific heat capacity of aluminium is more than double that of copper

so we can say

$s_2 = 2s_1$

so here if the mass of copper and aluminium is same then

$\Delta T_1 = 2 \Delta T_2$

so temperature change of copper is twice the temperature change of aluminium

So copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

which component of the Star Wars movies is possible according to our current understanding of physics?

Lena [83]

The movie Star Wars is a space opera interstellar epic which uses science and technology in its settings and storylines, although its main focus is not necessarily on science.

Many elements in the films appear to defy simple laws of physics.
One of which is the falling of spaceships when they are hit by a laser beam. Experts said, this is one good example because without gravity in space, ships should travel in the direction of the impact instead of dropping like a stone.

LINK THE WORDS TO THE UNDERLINE. The 4 most common _____________ are solids, liquids, gases and plasmas. The _______________ are

Savatey [412]

The 4 most common States of matter are solids, liquids, gases and plasmas. The States of matter are also called the phases of matter.

2. For a given pure substance, the amount of thermal energy is what separates the different states of matter. The solid state has the least thermal energy. The liquid state has more thermal energy than the solid state. The gaseous state has more thermal energy than the liquid state. And the plasma state has the highest thermal energy of the 4 states of matter.

3. Changing from one state of matter to another is called a phase change. Solids can phase change to liquids or gasses. Liquids can phase change to solids or gasses. Gasses can phase change to liquids or solids.

4. Frost forms from water vapor depositing as ice crystal without first becoming liquid water. This is called Deposition. Deposition is also used in industry to put a thin layer of aluminum on mylar for helium balloons and for potato chip bags.

5. Put wet laundry outside on a clothes line in freezing weather and it will dry. The process is called Sublimation and a solid phase changes to a gas without first melting into a liquid. Dry ice (frozen CO2) undergoes Sublimation and becomes CO2 gas. It skips the liquid state and because we see something that looks like normal ice disappear without making a puddle, we call it dry ice.

6. Vaporization is when a liquid becomes a gas. It can happen slowly at cool temperatures and this is called evaporation. Or it can happen faster at the boiling temperature of the liquid and this is called boiling.

7. In the summer time, I love a glass filled with ice water. But water vapor in the air undergoes Condensation and becomes liquid water on the outside of the glass. Fog and clouds are also formed by Condensation of atmospheric water (water vapor) condensing into liquid water drops.

8. Thermic refers to thermal energy, usually perceived as heat or temperature. Endo refers to “inside.” Endothermic means heat is moving INTO a process and is stored in the products of that process. Heating up liquid water is Endothermic because heat is being put into the process of raising the water temperature and is stored in the kinetic motion of the water molecules. Melting ice into liquid water is Endothermic because heat is being used to break most of the attractive bonds between water molecules so that the molecules are still close to each other, but can slide around each other.

9. Thermic refers to thermal energy, usually perceived as heat or temperature. Exo refers to “outside” like exiting a room to the outside. Exothermic means heat moving out of a process. The heat energy comes from energy stored as kinetic motion of the molecules and broken bonds of attraction. When liquid water cools down, heat comes out of the water and goes to the environment around the water. This is Exothermic. Liquid water undergoing the phase change to become solid water (ice) is Exothermic. The thermal energy absorbed to “melt” the ice is released as the ice freezes.

10. The Kinetic Theory of Matter theorizes that all matter is made of tiny particles (atoms and molecules) that are in constant motion. The amount of motion is an indication of the temperature. At absolute zero, all kinetic motion stops.
