Explain why water, with its high specific heat capacity, is utilized for heating systems such as hot-water radiators.

Physics

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

Water is mainly used as coolant in heating systems like hot-water radiators. The main function of water in such systems, is to absorb as much heat as possible, in order to decrease the temperature of the system and as a result cool it.

The specific heat capacity is the measure of heat energy that is required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a substance through 1 °C. In other words, specific heat capacity quantifies the amount of heat that can be stored by a unit mass of a substance having a degree rise in temperature.

Thus, the more specific heat a substance has, the more heat it can absorb from the hot system. Hence, the specific heat capacity of a coolant must be high.

<u>This is the reason why water, with its high specific heat capacity, is utilized for heating systems, such as radiators.</u>

a 2kg object is moving horizontally with a speed of 4 m/s.how much net force is required to keep the object moving at this speed
Elza [17]
If the object is moving in a straight line with constant speed,
that's a description of " acceleration = zero ".

Zero acceleration means zero net force on the object.

NO net force is 'required' to keep an object moving in a straight line
at constant speed.  In fact, if there IS any net force on the object,
then either its speed or its direction MUST change ... there's no way
to avoid it.

None of this depends on the object's mass, or on the speed or direction
of its motion.

How do you think scientists figure out what they think the population will be in 2050?
laila [671]
They would most likely use statistics on the increase/decrease in population from previous decades and centuries. In addition to these statistics, they could use the birth and death rate and ultimately predict the increase within these next 30 years. They must also take climate change and other environmental factors into consideration when formulating such a bold prediction.

The photo shows a system that consists of a person on a diving board. What change could you make to the system that would decrea
Sliva [168]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

If you decrease the height of the diving board, you will create less energy because you will build up less acceleration jumping from a lower height. Hope this helps ya!

What is strain?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

C) The ratio of the change in an object's length to its original length when stretched or compressed.

Explanation:

The formula for strain is:

Strain = Change in Length/Origin Length

Hence, it can be described as the percentile of change in the dimension with respect to the original dimension. So, whenever a tensile or a compressive force is applied on a body, its length changes. The ratio of this change to original length is called strain. So, the correct option is:

C) <u>The ratio of the change in an object's length to its original length when stretched or compressed.</u>
