Air pockets. Between two blankets, a pocket will form. Then, it will heat up along with the body heat.

I think it is because a big thick blanket has more room in it. if you have two thin blankets there isn't a whole lot there so it keeps the warmth in. <span />

Answer: 586.60N/m

Explanation:

In this scenario, the elastic potential energy of the spring is converted into potential energy.

0.5*K*x^2 = mgh

Thus K = 2mgh/x^2

=(2*2.90*10^-2*9.8*7.23)/(8.37*10^-2)^2

=586.599

Therefore K = 586.60N/m

Answer:

Reflective

Explanation:

The radiation pressure of the wave that totally absorbed is given by;

$P_{abs}= \frac{I}{C}$

and While the radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected is given by;

$P_{ref}= \frac{2I}{C}$

Now compare the two-equation you can clearly see that the pressure due to reflection is larger than absorption therefore the sail should be reflective.

anygoal [31]

Formulas change from F to degree C : C = ( F - 32 )/1.8

so we have (77-32)/1.8 = 25 oC

ok done. Thank to me :>
