Brad is swimming in the ocean on a hot sunny day. He finds the water to be much colder than the sand on the beach, even though the sun is warning them both. Identify the reasons for brads observation

When Brad was swimming in the ocean and then he observed that the sand was more hotter than the water of the ocean. The water is colder than the sand because the water needs more energy as compared to sand to change its temperature. This is because the water has a higher specific heat than sand.

Explanation:

heats surface water up

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
