Answer: 1.7m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of object = 10.9 kg

force = 18.53

Acceleration of the object = ?

Since force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = mass x acceleration

18.53 N = 10.9 kg x acceleration

Acceleration = (18.53 N / 10.9 kg)

Acceleration = 1.7m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the object is 1.7m/s^2

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

It may not be at the sea level

Explanation:

The reason here is water only boils at sea level. This means that if you move water to a different height, say top of a mountain, the boiling temperature of water would change. This is due to the pressure drop at high place. The drop of pressure would make it harder to transform water liquid to gas, thus requiring more temperature.

Evaporation of sweat cools the skin because

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample

Explanation:

The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.

During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.

As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.
