E the temperature of a substance. Water has a very high specific heat. That means it needs to absorb a lot of energy before its temperature changes. Sand , on the other hand, have lower specific heats. This means that their temperatures change more quickly. When the summer sun shines down on them, they quickly become hot.
Answer:
The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.
Explanation:
Orbital speed of satellite is given by 
, where G is gravitational constant, M is mass of Earth and r is the distance to satellite from centre of Earth.
r = R + h = 6350 + 1400 = 7750 km = 7.75 x 10⁶ m
G = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
M = 5.98 x 10²⁴ kg
Substituting
The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.
Explanation:
Transparent objects do not form shadows. The light passes completely from the transparent objects thus these objects will not form shadow. ... In such objects, the light gets refracted thus, such objects forms shadow. The refraction is also the reason why we can see such objects.
Answer:
a) t₁ = 4.76 s, t₂ = 85.2 s
b) v = 209 ft/s
Explanation:
Constant acceleration equations:
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
v = at + v₀
where x is final position,
x₀ is initial position,
v₀ is initial velocity,
a is acceleration,
and t is time.
When the engine is on and the sled is accelerating:
x₀ = 0 ft
v₀ = 0 ft/s
a = 44 ft/s²
t = t₁
So:
x = 22 t₁²
v = 44 t₁
When the engine is off and the sled is coasting:
x = 18350 ft
x₀ = 22 t₁²
v₀ = 44 t₁
a = 0 ft/s²
t = t₂
So:
18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) t₂
Given that t₁ + t₂ = 90:
18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) (90 − t₁)
Now we can solve for t₁:
18350 = 22 t₁² + 3960 t₁ − 44 t₁²
18350 = 3960 t₁ − 22 t₁²
9175 = 1980 t₁ − 11 t₁²
11 t₁² − 1980 t₁ + 9175 = 0
Using quadratic formula:
t₁ = [ 1980 ± √(1980² - 4(11)(9175)) ] / 22
t₁ = 4.76, 175
Since t₁ can't be greater than 90, t₁ = 4.76 s.
Therefore, t₂ = 85.2 s.
And v = 44 t₁ = 209 ft/s.
