We balance the enthalpy absorbed by the steel and the enthalpy lost by wood. In this case, we use mCp ΔT to describe the problem. Cp (W) is 4 Cp(S). assuming the same mass,
mCp(W) ΔT1 = <span>mCp(S) ΔT2
</span>  4* <span>ΔT1  = 40 
</span><span>ΔT1 = 10. Hence the temperature of the wood is decreased by 10 degrees</span>

What makes a funnel appear black
fredd [130]

Answer:

Air

Explanation:

The mixing of cooler air in the lower troposphere with air flowing in a different direction in the middle troposphere causes the rotation on a horizontal axis, which, when deflected and tightened vertically by convective updrafts, forms a vertical rotation that can cause condensation to form a funnel cloud.

Explain why the types of technology valued can vary.
Elan Coil [88]
Over time, the types of technology can vary and be improved upon so that more advanced techniques become more valued. This could be the situation with mining whereby back in the 1500's in underground mines the rock was broken by fire setting ie lighting a fire below the rock face to heat up the rock and then throwing cold water on it to crack it, so that it could be dug by hand. With the advent of explosives, this all changed so that the rock could be blasted. The increase in advance rates for an underground heading have thus gone from 5-20 feet per month to up to 300meters (984 ft) per month for a 24/7 mining operation, which is a huge improvement.

You can enter compound units that are combinations of other units that are multiplied together.Torque can be calculated by multi
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

3.0 x 10¹ Nm

Explanation:

Torque = F x r

Where F is force applied and r is perpendicular distance from pivot point . r

is also called lever arm

Here F = 15 N and r = 2.0 m

Torque

= 15 N X 2.0 m

= 3.0 10¹ Nm.
