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 .

A flashlight contains a battery of two cells in series, with a bulb of resistance 12 Ohms. The internal resistance of each cell
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.5024

Explanation:

Draw a diagram. Put the two cells in series. Now draw 3 resistors. Two of them equal 0.26 ohms each. The third one is the lightbulb which is 12 ohms.

R = 0.26 + 0.26 + 12 = 12.52

The bulb has a voltage of 2.88 volts across it. You can get the current from that.

i = E / R

i = 2.88 / 12 =

i = 0.24 amps.

Now you can get the voltage drop across the two cells.

E = ?

R = 0.26

i = 0.24 amps

E = 0.26 * 0.24

E = 0. 0624

Finally divide the 2.88 by 2 to get 1.44

Each cell has an emf of 1.44 + 0.0624 = 1.5024
