Answer:
D = 9.9 10⁶ mi
Explanation:
In the exercise they give the expression for maximum viewing distance
D = 2 r h + h²
Ask for this distance for a height of 1100 feet
Let's calculate
D = 2 3960 1100 + 1100²
D = 8.712 10⁶ + 1.21 10⁶
D = 9.92 10⁶ mi
D = 9.9 10⁶ mi
Your answer is 8. You add 2 + 1 + 5.3 to get 8.3. You round down to 8 because of the sig fig rules.
Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .
The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.
Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-
![c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BQ%7D%7Bm%5BT%27-T%5D%7D)
Here c is the specific heat capacity.
The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.
As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.
From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.
Answer:
c. hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior
Explanation:
Granulation is the grainy appearance of the solar photosphere produced by the top of the convection cells in the sun.
The grainy appearance are produced by granules on the photosphere of the sun and granules are caused by convection currents of plasma within the sun's convection zone.
The interior of these granules are brighter (and thus hotter) than the exterior of the granules which are darker.
<u>So, the granulation pattern that astronomers have observed on the surface of the Sun tells us that hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior.</u>
