The equator is warmer than the poles because the equator is closer to the sun. In other words, the sun is overhead the equator, which is a result of the Earth's curvature.

A 5.0-kg block of wood is placed on a 2.0-kg aluminum frying pan. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of both the
Shalnov [3]

Heat required to raise the temperature of a given system is

Q = ms\Delta T

here we know that

m = mass

s = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = change in temperature

now as we know that

mass of wood = 5 kg

mass of aluminium pan = 2 kg

change in temperature = 45 - 20 = 25 degree C

specific heat capacity of wood = 1700 J/kg C

specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900 J/kg C

now here we will find the total heat to raise the temperature of both

Q = m_1s_1\Delta T_1 + m_2s_2\Delta T_2

Q = 5 * 1700 * 25 + 2 * 900 * 25

Q = 212500 + 45000

Q = 257500 J

So heat required to raise the temperature of the system is 257500 J

A garden hose has a radius of 0.0120 m, and water initially comes out at a speed of 2.88m/s. Dasha puts her thumb over the end ,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

v = 12.4 [m/s]

Explanation:

With the speed and Area information, we can determine the volumetric flow.

V=v*A\\A=\pi *r^{2}

where:

r = radius = 0.0120 [m]

v = 2.88 [m/s]

A=\pi *(0.0120)^{2} \\A=4.523*10^{-4} [m]\\

Therefore the flow is:

V=2.88*4.523*10^{-4} \\V=1.302*10^{-3} [m^{3}/s ]

Despite the fact that you cover the inlet with the finger, the volumetric flow rate is the same.

v=V/A\\v=1.302*10^{-3} /1.05*10^{-4} \\v=12.4[m/s]

rs. Rushing fills a balloon with hydrogen gas to demonstrate its ability to burn. Which combination could she use to produce the
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Mg and HCl

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the combination that could be used in the production of the needed hydrogen

An important chemical property of inorganic acids is that when they react with metals, they give off hydrogen gas in conjunction with the formation of a salt

HCl is a mineral acid while Mg is a metallic substance

So the reaction between this metal and the mineral acids will give the needed hydrogen gas to be produced
