Answer: This is because water has a higher Specific Heat Capacity than air.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of an object measures how much heat will be required to change its temperature.

Water has a higher specific heat capacity than air, so the temperature of the water will remain fairly constant even though the air surrounding the water is experience temperature changes.

Since air has a lower Specific Heat Capacity than water, heat from the sun will readily heat it up in comparison to water.

When a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constan

25  m/s² is the object's acceleration

m1a1=m2a2

m1=5kg

m2=3 kg

a1= 15 m/s²

a2=?

m1a1=m2a2

a2=m1a1/m2

a2=5×15÷3

a2= 25  m/s²

Acceleration is a vector variable that describes the rate at which an object changes its velocity.

An object is said to be accelerating if its velocity is changing. Occasionally, a moving object can change its velocity by the same amount each second. a moving object whose speed fluctuates by 10 m/s every second. This is referred to as a constant acceleration since the velocity is changing by a fixed amount each second.

The difference between an object with a constant acceleration and one with a constant velocity must be understood. Do not be fooled! If an object's velocity changes, whether it does so by a constant amount or a variable amount, then it is accelerating. Furthermore, something that is travelling at a steady speed is not accelerating.

Calculate the total resistance for a 650ohm , a 350 ohm , and a 1000 ohm resistor connected in series
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

2000 ohms

Explanation:

Resisters in series just add.

Rt = R1 + R2 + R3

R1 = 650 ohm

R2 = 350 ohm

R3 = 1000 ohm

Rt = 650 + 350 + 1000

Rt = 2000 ohms.
