Explanation :

Water is used to cool down automobile engines when they get hot. It is used as a coolant because it has a high heat capacity. It is approximately equal to $4.186\ J/g\ ^0C$ .

The heat capacity of a substance is defined as the change in temperature due to the addition and removal of heat. Its SI unit is joule per kelvin. It is also an extensive property of matter.

The specific heat of water shows that each gram of water can absorb or release 4.186 joules of heat.

In the case of water, it will soak up a large amount of heat and its do not increase by very large amount.

So, the correct option is (d) "Water has a high heat capacity".

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

(a) M = =1.57 *10²¹kg

(b) M = =1.57 *10²⁰kg

(d) M = =1.57 *10¹⁸kg

Explanation:

(a) For 1000km body, diameter D = 1000km = 1,000,000 m

and N = (1000/D)² = (1000/1000km)² = 1

substituting into the formula, we have

M = 1 * 4/3 π*3000*[1000000/2]³

=1.57 *10²¹kg

(b) For 100km body, diameter D = 100km = 100,000 m

and N = (1000/D)² = (1000/100km)² = 100

substituting into the formula, we have

M = 1 * 4/3 π*3000*[100000/2]³

=1.57 *10²⁰kg

and N = (1000/D)² = (1000/10km)² = 100

substituting into the formula, we have

M = 1 * 4/3 π*3000*[10000/2]³

=1.57 *10¹⁹kg

and N = (1000/D)² = (1000/1km)² = 100

substituting into the formula, we have

M = 1 * 4/3 π*3000*[1000/2]³

=1.57 *10¹⁸kg

An object moves in uniform circular motion at 25 m/s and takes 1.0 second to go a quarter circle. Calculate the centripetal acce

tekilochka [14]

Given:

Object in circular motion 25 m/s

1 second to go quarter circle

Required:

Centripetal acceleration:

Solution:

Acceleration = v2/r

Where v is the velocity and r is the radian

Substituting the values into the equation,

Acceleration = v2/r = (25 m/s)2/(4*pi/180) = 8952.47 m2/s2
