Answer:
2560J
Explanation:
By definition the kinetic energy can be calculated in the following way:
K = (mv²)/2 = 80kg·(8.0m/s)²/2 = 2560 J
The speed is 0.2 meter per minute.
There is not enough information given in the question to determine the velocity.
Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.
