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 ant's aunt's aunt travels from the 15.00 cm mark to the 85.00 cm mark back to the 30.00 cm mark and then finally to the 30.0
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

<em>15 cm</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance between the point of origin of a body in motion to the final stopping positing.

For this ant's aunt's aunt that travels from the 15.00 cm mark to the 85.00 cm mark back to the 30.00 cm mark and then finally to the 30.00 cm mark, the displacement from the starting position is..

displacement = stopping point - starting point

d = 30 cm - 15 cm = <em>15 cm</em>

How many coulombs of charge do 50 * 10^31 electrons possess
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Quantity of Charge , Q = ne
Where n = number of electrons
             e = charge on one electron = -1.6 * 10 ^-19  C.
             n = 50 * 10^31  electrons

Q =    (50 * 10^31)*( -1.6 * 10 ^-19 ) =  -8 * 10^13 C.

Note that the minus sign indicates that the charge is a negative charge.
