Water has a high specific heat capacity. Oil has a smaller heat capacity.
arsen [322]3 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

Two movers are pushing a large crate with a force of 60.0 n each. one pushes north, the other east. what is the equilibrant forc
romanna [79]
To get the solution you must need to draw a force triangle. Attach the head of the 60N north force arrow with the tail of the 60N east force arrow. The subsequent is the arrow connecting he tail and head of the two arrows. 
You get a right angled triangle, and the resultant is (60^2 + 60^2) ^0.5 = 84.85 N or 85 N northeast.

A long, straight metal rod has a radius of 5.75 cm and a charge per unit length of 33.3 nC/m. Find the electric field at the fol
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question;

We will make assumptions of certain values since they are not given but the process to achieve the end result will be the same thing.

We are to calculate the following task, i.e. to determine the electric field at the distances:

a)  at 4.75 cm

b)  at 20.5 cm

c) at 125.0 cm

Given that:

the charge (q) = 33.3 nC/m

= 33.3 × 10⁻⁹ c/m

radius of rod = 5.75 cm

a) from the given information, we will realize that the distance lies inside the rod. Provided that there is no charge distribution inside the rod.

Then, the electric field will be zero.

b) The electric field formula E = \dfrac{kq }{d}

E = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times (33.3 \times 10^{-9}) }{0.205}

E = 1461.95 N/C

c) The electric field E is calculated as:

E = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times (33.3 \times 10^{-9}) }{1.25}

E = 239.76 N/C

What is the maximum weight a boat can hold if a boat can displace 60.5ml?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a. 60.5 kg

Explanation:

Given data,

The maximum water a boat can displace is, 60.5 ml

According to the principle of buoyancy, the weight of the floating body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

Under standard temperature and pressure, a unit mass of water equals one liter.

If a boat can displace a maximum of 60.5 ml of water, then it can hold a mass of a maximum of 60.5 kg of mass.
