Water has a very high specific heat, Why does this make it a very good substance for use in

Physics
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Water has high specific heat capacity so without a high increase in temperature , water can absorb a large amount of heat.

Explanation:

Water is a very good substance for use in cooling system of automobiles because water has a ridiculously high heat capacity specially its volumetric heat capacity.

 water takes  a tremendous energy  to change the temperature of water and and it gives enormous cooling capacity compared to metals like rapidly absorbing heat energy from the engine.

To cool down the car engine water is used. Water has high specific heat capacity so without a high increase in temperature , water can absorb a large amount of heat.

 Water is efficient heat transfer fluid .

Water offers the thermal conductivity advantages of a liquid with high specific heat capacity and evaporative cooling .

A rope pulls a 82.5 kg skier at a constant speed up a 18.7° slope with μk = 0.150. How much force does the rope exert?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

374 N

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the skier

m = mass of the skier = 82.5

From the force diagram, force equation perpendicular to the slope is given as

N = mg Cos18.7

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.150

frictional force is given as

f = μN

f =  μmg Cos18.7

F = force applied by the rope

Force equation parallel to the slope is given as

F - f - mg Sin18.7 = 0

F - μmg Cos18.7 - mg Sin18.7 = 0

F = μmg Cos18.7 + mg Sin18.7

F = (0.150 x 82.5 x 9.8) Cos18.7 + (82.5 x 9.8) Sin18.7

F = 374 N

Flapping flight is very energy intensive. A wind tunnel test
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of starling, m=89 g=89/1000=0.089 kg

1 kg=1000 g

Power, P=12 W

Speed, v=11 m/s

We have to find the metabolic power for starting flight.

We know that

Metabolic power for starting flight=\frac{P}{m}

Using the formula

Metabolic power for starting flight=\frac{12}{0.089}

Metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Hence, the metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Plz answer this! I am stumped
Gwar [14]
MgCl2
Mg = magnesium
Cl = chlorine

Magnesium + chlorine = magnesium chloride.

This is because compounds are always written with the METAL FIRST and the NON METAL SECOND. the non metal ends in - ide when it reacts with a metal.

So ur answer would be magnesium chloride. :)
