Seasonal changes in water temperature tend to remain within a narrow range. This is opposed to air temperature, which tends to f

luctuate across a wide range. The relative stability of ocean temperatures helps to regulate the temperatures of coastal regions. Why can water remain within a narrow range of temperatures?

It is because of the high specific heat of water.

Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of unit mass of a substance by one degree.

Specific heat of water is 4.186 kJ/kg K and that of air is 1 kJ/kg K. Thus, a given amount of heat will cause more change in the temperature of air than that of water.

(ii) Describe how the acceleration of the train at time t = 100 s differs from the acceleration
quester [9]

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. When acceleration increases a body moves a faster velocity.

  • In the graph acceleration at time t= 100s is rapidly increasing.
  • At t = 20s, the acceleration of the body is getting started up.

A vehicle at time 100s will have a faster velocity compared to one at t = 20s

A battery with an emf of 12.0 V shows a terminal voltage of 11.7 V when operating in a circuit with two lightbulbs, each rated a
wariber [46]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.46Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The electromotive force (E) in the circuit is related to the terminal voltage(V), of the circuit and the internal resistance (r) of the battery as follows;

E = V + Ir                      --------------------(a)

Where;

I = current flowing through the circuit

But;

V = I x Rₓ                    ---------------------(b)

Where;

Rₓ = effective or total resistance in the circuit.

<em>First, let's calculate the effective resistance in the circuit:</em>

The effective resistance (Rₓ) in the circuit is the one due to the resistances in the two lightbulbs.

Let;

R₁ = resistance in the first bulb

R₂ = resistance in the second bulb

Since the two bulbs are both rated at 4.0W ( at 12.0V), their resistance values (R₁ and R₂) are the same and will be given by the power formula;

P = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

=> R = \frac{V^{2} }{P}             -------------------(ii)

Where;

P = Power of the bulb

V = voltage across the bulb

R = resistance of the bulb

To get R₁, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₁ = \frac{V^{2} }{P}    --------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

R₁ = \frac{12.0^{2} }{4}

R₁ = \frac{144}{4}

R₁ = 36Ω

Following the same approach, to get R₂, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₂ = \frac{V^{2} }{P}    --------------------------------(iv)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

R₂ = \frac{12.0^{2} }{4}

R₂ = \frac{144}{4}

R₂ = 36Ω

Now, since the bulbs are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (Rₓ) is given by;

\frac{1}{R_{X} } = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}       -----------------(v)

Substitute the values of R₁ and R₂ into equation (v) as follows;

\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{36}

\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{2}{36}

Rₓ = \frac{36}{2}

Rₓ = 18Ω

The effective resistance (Rₓ) is therefore, 18Ω

<em>Now calculate the current I, flowing in the circuit:</em>

Substitute the values of V = 11.7V and Rₓ = 18Ω into equation (b) as follows;

11.7 = I x 18

I = \frac{11.7}{18}

I = 0.65A

<em>Now calculate the battery's internal resistance:</em>

Substitute the values of E = 12.0, V = 11.7V and I = 0.65A  into equation (a) as follows;

12.0 = 11.7 + 0.65r

0.65r = 12.0 - 11.7

0.65r = 0.3

r = \frac{0.3}{0.65}

r = 0.46Ω

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 0.46Ω

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (For example, w
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

b) q large and m small

Explanation:

q is large and m is small

We'll express it as :

q > m

As we know the formula:

F = Eq

And we also know that :

F = Bqv

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Bqv = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

or Eq = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Assume that you want a velocity selector that will allow particles of velocity v⃗  to pass straight through without deflection while also providing the best possible velocity resolution. You set the electric and magnetic fields to select the velocity v⃗ . To obtain the best possible velocity resolution (the narrowest distribution of velocities of the transmitted particles) you would want to use particles with q large and m small.

A 25.0-g sample of copper at 363 K is placed in I 00.0 g of water at 293 K. The copper and water quickly come to the sa me tempe
Simora [160]

Answer:

Final temperature is 295K

Explanation:

Where the sample of copper is placed in the water, the heat transferred from the copper is equal that the heat absorbed by the water.

The heat transferred from the copper is:

C×\frac{1mol}{63,546g}×mass×ΔT

Where C is molar heat capacity of copper (24,5J/molK)

Mass is 25,0g

And ΔT is final temperature - initial temperature (X-363K)

Also, the heat absorbed by the water is:

-C×\frac{1mol}{18,02g}×mass×ΔT

Where C is molar heat capacity of water (75,2J/molK)

Mass is 100,0g

And ΔT is final temperature - initial temperature (X-293K)

As heat transferred is equal to heat absorbed:

24,5J/molK×\frac{1mol}{63,546g}×25,0g×(X-363K) = -75,2J/molK×\frac{1mol}{18,02g}×100,0g× (X-293K)

9,64X J/K - 3499J = - 417X J/K + 122273J

426,64X J/K = 125772 J

<em>X = 295K</em>

<em></em>

Final temperature is 295K

I hope it helps!
