It is winter in Puerto Rico. Compare the air temperatures beachgoers feel near the water

1 answer:

7 0

Large amounts of water do have a big impact on the weather: indeed, it takes less energy to warm/cool land than water.
Therefore, places near large amounts of water tend to have smaller differences in temperature between summer and winter than places far from waters.

Hence, during winter in Puerto Rico, alongside the coast, the temperature will be higher than in the innermost parts of the island.

A roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a hill 15 m high and rolls down to ground level. From there it starts into a

Softa [21]

Answer:

955.5N

Explanation:

The normal force is given by the difference between the centripetal force and gravity at the top of the loop:

$F_N = F_C - F_G = m\frac{v^{2} }{r} - mg$

mass m = 65kg

radius of the loop r = 4m

velocity v = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

To find the centripetal force, you need to find the velocity of the car at the top of the loop.

Use energy conservation:

$E_{tot}=mgh + \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

At the top of the hill:

$E_{tot}= mgh_{hill}$

At the top of the loop:

$E_{tot}=mgh_{loo}_p +\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Setting both energies equal and canceling the mass m gives:

$gh_{hill} = gh_{loo}_p + \frac{1}{2} v^{2}$

Solving for v:

$v^{2} = 2g(h_{hill}-h_{loo}_p)$

Using v in the first equation:

$F_N = \frac{2mg(h_{hill}-h_{loo}_p)}{r} - mg$

$F_N = 955.5N$

The force of replusion between two like charged particles will increase if

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The distance of separation is decreased

Explanation:

From Cuolomb's law, we know that the strength of charge is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the charges. To mean that increasing the distance let's say from 2m to 3 m would mean initial strength getting form 1/4 to 1/9 which is a decrease. The vice versa is true hence the force of repulsion can increase only when we decrease the distance of separation.

Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.
