Which statement BEST explains why the specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of most other substances?

2 answers:

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.

E fundamental frequency of an open organ pipe corresponds to the middle c (261.6 hz on the chromatic musical scale). the third r

luda_lava [24]

The wavelength of the third resonance of the closed organ pipe is equal to the ratio between the speed of sound and the frequency of the 3rd harmonic:

$\lambda_3 = \frac{c}{f_3}=\frac{343 m/s}{261.6 Hz} =1.31 m$

The relationship between length of a closed pipe and wavelength of the standing waves inside is:

$L=\frac{n}{4}\lambda_n$

where n is the number of the harmonic. In this case, n=3, so the length of the pipe is

$L=\frac{3}{4}(1.31 m)=0.98 m$

The initial volume reading in a graduated cylinder is 30 mL. The mass of an irregular shape of an unknown metal piece is 55.3 g.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$

Explanation:

When we put the metal piece in the liquid (which is in the graduated cylinder), how much it goes up is equal to the volume of the piece we inserted.

So now we know that the volume of that piece of unknown metal is 7mL (which is the same as 7 $cm^3$ ).

Density is $\frac{mass}{volume}$ .

So the density of that piece of metal is $\frac{55.3g}{7cm^3}$

Which leaves us with a final density of 7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$

Darwin is sitting on top of a 10 m tree and decided to drop a 3 kg baseball to the ground. What is the velocity when the PE turn

Nimfa-mama [501]

The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground. It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.

It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.

More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.

When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.

Explain the process of making fabric from fibres

fiasKO [112]

Ans: The thin strands are called as yarns which are made from fibre. Spinning is the process of making yarn. The process where the cotton wool are drawn out and being twisted. This process brings all the fibre together to form a yarn.

Operators must slow to no wake speed when within what distance of a u.s. naval vessel?

Alex Ar [27]

Recreational boaters have a role in keeping the waterways safe and secure. Violators of the restrictions can expect a quick and severe response. The operator should not approach within yards and slow to minimum speed within 500 yards of any of united states naval vessel. If the vessel need to pass within 100 yards of a united states naval vessel for safe passage, must contact the united states naval vessel or the united states coast guard escort vessel on VHF-FM channel 16. In addition,

• The operator must perceive and avoid all security areas.

• Avoid commercial port operation areas particularly those that include military cruise line or petroleum amenities.

• The operator must perceive and avoid other controlled areas near dams, power plants, etc.

• The operator of the vessel must not discontinue or anchor underneath bridges or in the channel.
