Is there an answer key? with all words on it,
Answer:
(d) Water has a high specific heat.
Explanation:
At night, when the temperature of earth goes down due to loss of heat , the temperature of water is lost slowly and temperature of land is lost fast because of high specific heat of water . Water loses as well as gains temperature comparatively slowly due to its high specific heat .
During daytime when earth gains heat , the temperature of land rises more rapidly than water so water appears cool even during daytime when land becomes hotter . It is also due to high heat holding capacity of water or due to high specific heat of water .
Your answers for a), b), and c) are correct. Good work !
d). The high noise levels in Technology and PE are more of
a concern to the teachers than to the students because the
students are only in there for 1 or 2 periods a day, but the
Technology and PE teachers are in there ALL day.
e). Mr. Jones can't hear as high frequency as Jenny can because
he is much older than Jenny is. Sadly, even without damage due to
loud noise, the ability to hear high frequencies does decrease with age.
f). The wooden surfaces in the gym cause the gym to be louder
than it would be if it had carpet on the floor. Carpet ... and soft
walls and ceilings ... absorb a lot of the sound that hits them.
But hard surfaces don't absorb much of the sound that hits them,
so it just keeps bouncing around until it finally fades away.
You can see this easily ... just go into the gym at your school, clap
your hands once, and notice how long you keep hearing the sound
after you clap.
If you start at 100% and divide it by 2 it will equal 50% then divide by 2 again and the answer will be 25%. Your answer should be 25%
