It has been a hot summer, so when you arrive at a lake, you decide to go for a swim even though it it nighttime. The water is co

ld. The next day, you go swimming again during the hottest part of the day, and even though the air is warmer the water is still almost as cold. Why?
(a) Water is fairly dense compared with many other liquids.
(b) Water remains in a liquid state for a wide range of temperatures.
(c) Water has a high bulk modulus.
(d) Water has a high specific heat.

Answer:

(d) Water has a high specific heat.

Explanation:

At night, when the temperature of earth goes down due to loss of heat , the temperature of water is lost slowly and temperature of land is lost fast because of high specific heat of water . Water loses as well as gains temperature comparatively slowly due to its high specific heat .

During daytime when earth gains heat , the temperature of land rises more rapidly than water so water appears cool even during daytime when land becomes  hotter . It is also due to high heat holding capacity of water or due to high specific heat of water .

The coefficient of static friction is 0.222

Explanation:

In order for the car to remain in circular motion, the frictional force must be able to provide the necessary centripetal force. Therefore, the car will start skidding when the two forces are equal:

\mu mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where the term on the left is the frictional force, while the term on the right is the centripetal force, and where

\mu is the coefficient of static friction

m is the mass of the car

g is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the track

In this problem, we have:

r = 564 m

v = 35 m/s

g=9.8 m/s^2

And re-arranging the equation for \mu, we can find the coefficient of static friction:

\mu = \frac{v^2}{gr}=\frac{35^2}{(9.8)(564)}=0.222

Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of
STatiana [176]

Answer:

2.27\cdot 10^{49}

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_p is the proton mass

m_e is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q_p = q_e = q is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.

If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure
neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.

The boiling point of water is 91.30 °C on the
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

196.34 °F

Explanation:

To convert from degrees celsius to degrees fahrenheit, use this equation:

(°C * 9/5) + 32 = °F

So, using this equation:

(91.30 * 9/5) + 32 = °F

196.34 + 32 = °F

°F = 196.34

Hope this helps!

If Sarah melts 10g of tin. What mass of melted tin would she have at the end of the experiment?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

10g

Explanation:

As the Law of Conservation of Mass states that " Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction".

Though melting of tin isn't a chemical change, the same logic is applied here...

Hence,

The mass of tin will be 10 g itself...
