Before a person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, this moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet. You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any very hot surface. The water will very easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it -- like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table. Note that when someone walks through burning coal, typically this is also done very quickly to prevent a great deal of exposure to possible harm. By walking quickly, thinking positively, and letting the water cushion you from immediate danger over a short distance, such a task is possible. You may have also heard of physics teachers demonstrating how this principle works by sticking their hand first in a bucket of water and then quickly in a bucket of boiling molten lead. In the lead, their hand is protected briefly by a layer of gas from the evaporated water (the water vapor). I'm fairly sure that there is a name for this particular layer of gas, but I'm afraid the name is beyond me at the moment. In other words, water vapor has a low heat capacity and poor thermal conduction. Very often, the coals or wood embers that are used in fire walking also have a low heat capacity. Sweat produced on the bottom of people's feet also helps form a protective water vapor. All of this together makes it possible, if moving quickly enough, to walk across hot coals without getting burned. WARNING: Do not attempt to perform any of the actions described above.

Answer:
The desire to continue with your exercise would be the correct answer! :D
Answer:
42KVA
Explanation:
Given data
High Voltage (HV)= 480V
Low Voltage (LV)= 277V
Fo find
Size of transformer=?
Solution
To find the size of transformer here we use the co-ratio.The Co-ratio is given as:
Co-Ratio= (HV - LV)/HV
where
HV is High Voltage
LV is Low Voltage
Now put the values we get
Co- Ratio=(480-277)/480=.42
So the size of transformer is 42KVA

The rest of your options are not oceans, they are bodies of water. (e.g: lakes,rivers,gulfs)
