topjm [15]

Answer:

It should be higher during the summer.

Explanation:

Assuming that youlive in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun's location through the season from winter to summer at noon, should be different. The sun would be observed at a higher position over the horizon in the summer season than it is in the winter season. The reasons are equinoxes, solstices and the ecliptic circle.

I hope this answer helps.

Explain briefly where the energy come from when a liquid Rises against Gravity in a capillary tube​
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Surface tension

Explanation:

When liquid rises against gravity in a capillary tube, the energy comes from surface tension.

This is because surface tension is the energy that's needed to increase the liquid surface area.

As a result of hydrogen bonding present in Water, it usually has high surface tension which makes it to possess a tough skin that can make it not to break despite high forces applied to it.

The liquid will be in contact with the capillary tube and as such experiences surface tension which in turn makes the capillary tube to experience an upward force that makes the liquid begin to rise up.

The more the liquid keeps rising, the more it gets to the point where the surface tension becomes balanced from the weight of the liquid.

What happens to the temperature of a substance when it is changing state of matter?
noname [10]
Solid substances have molecules held tightly and close together
Liquid substances have molecules moving loosely
Gaseous molecules are moving completely freely

As moleclues get further apart, i.e. As a substance changes state from solid to liquid to gas, molecules gain kinetic energy and vibrate/move more. This means they gain heat energy (the averge energy a substance has) so the temperature increases

Substances exist in different states at different temperatures and different substances will exist in different states at the same temperature. This is to do with the forces between molecules and how much heat (energy) is required to break them

Traveling at an average rateaverage rate of between 50 and 60 miles per hour for 4 to 7 hours select the best estimate for the d
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

best close estimate distance is 315 miles

Explanation:

given data

speed v1 = 50 miles per hour

speed v2 = 60 miles  per hour

time t1 = 4 hr

time t2 = 7 hr

to find out

best estimate for the distance traveled

solution

we know lower end distance

distance = v1 × t1

distance = 50 × 4 = 200 miles

and

upper end distance

distance = v2 × t2

distance = 60 × 7 = 420 miles

so middle value distance is

v = 55 miles per hour and t = 5.5 hours

distance = v × t  

distance = 55 × 5.5

distance = 302.5 miles

so best close estimate distance is 315 miles
