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 .

Every second, the Sun converts about 600 million tons of hydrogen into 596 million tons of helium. The remaining 4 million tons
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Converted to an amount of energy equal to 4 million tons times the speed of light squared. ejected into space in a solar wind.

Explanation:

The 4 million tons of mass is converted to the amount of energy that is equal to 4 million tons times the speed of light squared. This energy moves from the sun with the help of solar winds and received by the planets present in the solar system. This solar energy moves in the form of solar radiation because there is no medium for propagation so that's why we can say that the mass is converted into energy that moves in the form of radiation in discrete packets.

A boy rows a rowboat across a river. The boat moves at 4.3 m/s at a direction of 25°
NikAS [45]

East component: 3.9 m/s

South component: 1.8 m/s

Explanation:

We have to resolve the velocity vector along the east and south axis.

Taking east as positive x-direction and south as positive y-direction, the components of the velocity are given by:

v_x = v cos \theta\\v_y = v sin \theta

where

v = 4.3 m/s is the magnitude of the velocity

\theta=25^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the velocity and of the x-axis

Substituting into the equations, we find:

East component:

v_x = (4.3)(cos 25^{\circ})=3.9 m/s

South component:

v_y = (4.3)(sin 25^{\circ})=1.8 m/s

A)If the rms value of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave is doubled, by what factor does the rms value of the magneti
Ghella [55]

A) The magnetic field doubles as well

The relationship between rms value of the electric field and rms value of the magnetic field for an electromagnetic wave is the following:

E_{rms}=cB_{rms}

where

E_rms is the magnitude of the electric field

c is the speed of light

B_rms is the magnitude of the magnetic field

From the equation, we see that the electric field and the magnetic field are directly proportional: therefore, if the rms value of the electric field is doubled, then the rms value of the magnetic field will double as well.

B) The intensity will quadruple

The intensity of an electromagnetic wave is given by

I=\frac{1}{2}c\epsilon_0 E_0^2

where

c is the speed of light

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

E_0 is the peak intensity of the electric field

The rms value of the electric field is related to the peak value by

E_{rms}=\frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2}}

So we can rewrite the equation for the intensity as

I=c\epsilon_0 E_{rms}^2

we see that the intensity is proportional to the square of the rms value of the electric field: therefore, if the rms value of the electric field is doubled, the average intensity of the wave will quadruple.

Meteorite On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, creating a dent about 22 cm deep. If the initi
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

8427375 N

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion,

F = ma................. Equation 1

Where F = average force exerted on the meteorite by the car, m = mass of the meteorite, a = acceleration.

We can find the value of acceleration from newton's equation of motion

using,

v² = u²+2as.................. Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

Make a the subject of the equation

a = (v²-u²)/2s............... Equation 3

Note: When the meteorite struck the car, it was brought to rest

Given: u = 550 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( brought to rest), s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

Substitute into equation 3

a = (0²-550²)/(2×0.22)

a = -302500/0.44

a = -687500 m/s²

Also given: m = 27 pound = (27×0.454) = 12.258 kg

Substitute into equation 1

F = 12.258(-687500)

F = -8427375 N

Note: The negative sign tells that the force act in opposite direction to the motion of the meteorite
