Why is the specific heat of salt solution lower than that of water?

Physics

Stells [14]3 years ago

When we dissolve NaCl in water, the ions are held in a rigid cage of water molecules. It takes less energy to activate these molecules, so the specific heat of the water decreases. The greater concentration of NaCl, the lower the specific heat capacity of the solution.

A motorcycle of mass 100 kilograms slowly rolls off the edge of a cliff and falls for three seconds before reaching the bottom o
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

v(t)=v_0 -gt

where

v_0=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

Which of the following is the smallest conceivable amount of time that could pass between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse .
pickupchik [31]
The time required for a moon to orbit around the earth is about 27-28 days

In order for lunar eclipse to occur the line that should be formed is:
Sun-Earth-Moon
because earth is making shade on moon

in order for solar eclipse to occur the line is now:
Sun-Moon-Earth
because moon is making a shade on earth (blocking sun = solar eclipse)

Therefore moon needs to make half of its orbit to go from behind the earth to in front of the earth.

28/2 = 14
