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.

how much is need to lift a load of 100n placed at a distance of 29 cm from fulcrum if effort is applied at 60cm from the fulcrum
dangina [55]

Answer:

206.8965517 n

Explanation:

First, we need to see that 60:29 is 2.078965517:1. Then we need to multiply the energy put 29 cm from the fulcrum by 2.078965517, giving us the end result of our answer.

Arrange the substances in the table from the MOST to the LEAST ordered particle arrangement es ) A) wood, water, neon gas B) woo
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A) wood, water, neon gas

Explanation:

Matter, which constitutes every known substances is said to exists in three states namely: gaseous, solid and liquid. Each state of matter contain particles that make up their structure.

- Solids have well arranged particles that are tightly packed together to give it its solid shape. Example is wood

- Liquids have particles that are loosely packed together, hence, can still move about. Example is water

- Gases have particles that are not packed together, hence, their ability to roam freely. Example is neon gas

Based on this, the order of MOST to LEAST ordered particle arrangement is solid - liquid- gas i.e. wood - water - neon gas.

A woman rides a carnival Ferris wheel at radius 20 m, completing 6.0 turns about its horizontal axis every minute. What are (a)
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of ferris wheel is 20 m

It completes 6 turns in 1 min

i.e. 1 turn in 10 sec

Therefore its angular velocity is \omega =\frac{2\pi }{10} rad/s

(a)Period of motion is 10 s

Magnitude of centripetal acceleration is \omega ^2r

=\left ( \frac{\pi }{5}\right )^2\times 20=7.89 m/s^2

(b)Highest point will be 40 m

(c) lowest point 0 m i.e. at ground

A sound wave of 70 cm travels 840 m in 2.5 sec. What is the velocity and frequency of sound?
Darya [45]
-- Speed = (distance) / (time to cover the distance) = 840/2.5 = 336 m/s

-- Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = 336/0.70 = 480 Hz.
