Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Because water has higher specific heat capacity than water, land usually gets heated and loses heat faster than water.

During a warm day, the air above land gets heated quickly more than the air above water. This warm, less dense air above land begins to rise, creating a low pressure in the process. This paves way for the denser, cold air above water to replace the vacuum created by the warm air above land.

The directional movement of air from water to land is what is known as the sea breeze in coastal areas.

spin [16.1K]

An element with a valence of 8 are most likely noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, etc) which means they're already stable so they dont need to undergo chemical bonds with another atom because they already have a full valence shell.

A plane designed for vertical takeoff has a mass of 8.0 × 10³ kg. Find the net work done by all forces on the plane as it accele

artcher [175]

Answer:

the net work done after starting from rest is = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

Explanation:

Work: Work can be defined as the product of force and distance. The fundamental unit of work is Joules (J), The unit of Energy is Joules (J), as such Energy and work are interchangeable during calculation, This is illustrated below

E = W = 1/2mv².......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the plane, v = velocity of the plane, E = Energy, W = work done.

v² = u² + 2as ................................. Equation 2.

Where v = final velocity of the plane, u = initial velocity of the plane, a = acceleration of the plane, distance of the plane.

Given: a = 1.0 m/s², s = 30 m, u = 0 m/s (at rest)

Substituting these values into equation 2

v² = 0² +2×1×30

v² = 60

v = √60

v = 7.75 m/s

Also given: m = 8.0 × 10³ kg, and v = 7.75 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1,

W = 1/2(8.0×10³)(7.75)²

W = (4.0×10³)(60)

W = 240 × 10³ J

W = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

Therefore the net work done after starting from rest is = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.60 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Height of ceiling is $h=3.6\ m$

Initial speed of Putty $u=9.5\ m/s$

Speed of Putty just before it strike the ceiling is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$v^2-9.5^2=2\times (-9.8)\times 3.6$

$v^2=19.69$

$v=4.43\ m/s$

time taken by putty to reach the ceiling

$v=u+at$

$4.43=9.5-9.8\times t$

$t=\frac{5.07}{9.8}$

$t=0.517\ s$

This exists in the space surrounding a charged particle and exerts a force on other charged particles.

Zinaida [17]

Gravitational field exists in the space surrounding a charged particle and exerts a force on other charged particles. Gravitational waves are ripples of waves travelling outward from the source. The more massive the orbit of two bodies, the more it emits gravitational wave. And everything around it that is near within the wave experiences a ‘pull’ toward the orbiting bodies.
