Water has a high specific heat capacity. Oil has a smaller heat capacity.
arsen [322]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Because water has a high specific heat, each little bit of water flowing past can give lots of thermal energy to the ice cube. Oil has a smaller specific heat, and so more oil has to flow past to give the same amount of heat energy to the ice cube. ... Colder oil will melt ice less rapidly than warmer oil or water

If a freely falling rock were equipped with a speedometer, by how much would itd speed readings increase with each second if it
Len [333]

" 20 m/s² " means that if gravity is the ONLY force on the object
(the object is in 'free fall'), then its speed increases by  20 m/s
every second.

That's the answer to your question.  Now, let me ask you
another one:

How does a speedometer tied to a falling rock work ?
How can it measure the rock's speed ?

Maybe one way would be to have a little tiny propeller on
the front of the speedometer, and it could measure how fast
the propeller is spinning as the rock falls through the air ?
Great idea.  But we already said the rock is in free-fall,
so there's no air resistance, we can't have any air, and
there's nothing to spin the propeller.

How would you do it ?  How can you measure the rock's speed ?

A flowerpot falls from a window sill 36.5 m
hram777 [196]

When a flowerpot falls from a window sill 36.5 m

above the sidewalk, then the velocity of the flowerpot is 26.7 m/s.

From Newton's third equation of motion,

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

where,

h is the height of the object or body from ground

u is the initial velocity of the body or object

v is the final velocity of the body or object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Now, as we know that

Flowerpot is at rest. So, u = 0

g = 9.81m/s^2

h = 36.5m

By substituting all the values, we get

v^2 = 2 × 9.81 × 36.5

= 716.13

v = 26.7m/s

Thus, we concluded that when a flowerpot falls from a window sill 36.5 m

above the sidewalk, then the velocity of the flowerpot is 26.7 m/s.

In his novel From the Earth to the Moon (1866), Jules Verne describes a spaceship that is blasted out of 12,000 yards/s. the Col
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that spaceship is accelerated uniformly. A yard equals 0.914 meters. A feet equals 0.304 meters. If air viscosity and friction can be neglected, then acceleration (a), measured in meters per square second, is estimated by this kinematic formula:

a = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \Delta s } (1)

Where:

\Delta s - Travelled distance, measured in meters.

v_{o}, v - Initial and final speeds of the spaceship, measured in meters.

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 10968\,\frac{m}{s} and \Delta s = 212.8\,m, then the acceleration experimented by the spaceship is:

a = \frac{\left(10968\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot (212.8\,m)}

a = 282652.782\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.

Scientists can use the location and depth of where a fossil is found to estimate the age of the fossil. To do this, they use
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

C the Law of Superposition

Explanation:

Basically the law of Superposition is applied in this regard. The law states that "the oldest layer is on the bottom and the youngest layer is on top".

When we find fossils at a particular depth we can relatively date a rock based on the strata we find them. A fossil in place in bottom beds will be older than the one in the topmost layer. Fossils also succeed one another in a definite pattern according to the principle of fossil and fauna succession.
