Due to its polarity and hydrogen bonding water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change.. The high specific heat of water helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual instead of sudden, especially near the oceans.

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

B- He is correct. Evaporation is a physical change, but dissolving salt in water is a chemical change. The change in mass is evidence that a chemical change occurred.

Explanation: Dissolving Salt in water is a Chemical Change, Because the Salt arrangement is different in solid state than dissolved in water. As we can see in the image below, once the Salt is dissolved, it is separated into its ions, Na+ and Cl- Now, The evaporation process is a physical change, because the water doesn´t change its configuration H20 and it only changes its form, as we can see in the image below.

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 4.05 m/s. If the roof is pitched at
AlekseyPX

(a) The time the baseball spends in the air is 0.92 s.

(b) The horizontal distance from the roof edge to the point where the baseball lands on the ground is 3.1 m.

<h3>Time spent in air by the baseball</h3>

h = vt - ¹/₂gt²

-2.1 = (4.05 x sin 34)t  - ¹/₂(9.8)(t²)

-2.1 = 2.26t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 2.26t - 2.1 = 0

t = 0.92 s

<h3>Horizontal distance traveled by the baseball</h3>

R = Vx(t)

R = (4.05 x cos 34)(0.92)

R = 3.1 m

Thus, the time the baseball spends in the air is 0.92 s.

The horizontal distance from the roof edge to the point where the baseball lands on the ground is 3.1 m.

IN WHAT WAY HAS TECHNOLOGY USED ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION BENEFITTED HUMANS BACK ON EARTH?
drek231 [11]

Answer

The ways are;

• By commercializing low earth orbit

• By supporting water purification efforts worldwide

• By bringing space station ultrasound equipment on earth

• By improving eye surgery with space hardware

Explanation

There is a revolutionary commercial pathways that is currently opening access to space.For example, NASA is purchasing commercial cargo resupply to space station which enable U.S business to develop a competition in selling services to others while freeing NASA resources for deep space exploration. Using  technology developed in space, the Water Security Corporation has deployed systems using NASA water-processing technology to ensure drinkable water availability for human survival. Medical care in remote regions is now  facilitated by use of small ultrasound units, tele-medicine  and remote guided methods similar to those used in space. The Eye Tracking Device experiment has enable researchers to have an insight into corrective laser surgeries.
