Relationship of temperature of boiling water and temperature of steam?

In the case where heat is being added to generate steam from a container of water, as long as there is water still in the container, the temperature remains constant. It takes energy for water to change state into steam and all of the heat added goes to performing this task so the temperature stays the same, 212 degF (100 degC) at atmospheric pressure. While the water is boiling, the steam is "saturated," meaning any loss of heat would cause some of the steam to condense back into water. Once all of the water has been boiled and changed state, any additional heat supplied will cause the temperature to increase and the steam is "superheated," that is above its saturation temperature.


What will happen if you flip a coin in a high speed airplane and why?

Nothing unusual IF the airplane is flying level and at a constant speed. The coin will go up, flip, and come down as expected. However, if the airplane is accelerating...in ANY direction, the path of the coin will appear to be altered once it is in the air. For instance if the plane dives as the coin is thrown, the coin will appear to accelerate in the Upward direction.


How can you build a boat made of clay that will float on water?

You could built a boat of clay. Provided the clay has been fired and will not dissolve in water. Provided that once placed in water, it is able to displace its gross weight and still have ample freeboard to prevent water coming inboard. Whether the clay walls of the vessel is strong enough to withstand the considerable forces of the oceans is another matter!

Why diving for a coin is more difficult than it seems to be from the side of the pool?

When light is refracted in water, the image becomes slanted in appearance to the human eye. The human eye is the most easily decieved sense of the 5 senses. Once you are in the water, open your eyes to see where exactly the coin is. Do not retrieve the coin, because this will bring bad luck, and once a coin is tossed in from a wish, it cannot be fetched. If the cycle is disrupted between the wisher and the gods, you will be put under a 75 year curse. So do not dive for the coin at all.

What is a small blank disc of metal from which a coin is made?

The technical name for a coin blank is "planchet" or "flan". In common use, the word planchet generally is used for a coin blank that's been punched from a flat sheet of metal but has had no other changes. After that the blank usually goes through one or more preparatory steps before the design is added. Blanks are put into an "upsetting machine" that squeezes the circumference very slightly to produce the raised edge you see on the rim. These partially-processed blanks are more frequently called flans, although to again be technically correct a blank without a raised edge is also referred to as a Type I flan while one with the edge is Type II. Once the raised edge has been added the coin blank is fed into the press that strikes the front and back designs into the metal and, if appropriate, adds reeding or other tactile features to the edge. Once it receives its images the planchet has become a coin.


If the Dead Sea only receives fresh river water where did all the salt come from?

the dead sea was once a 'normal' sea like the rest, but evapoation made a higher percentage of water disappear than normal seas so when that happens the salinity of the water increases the way the dead sea has gone. Its not that salt has been added from a mysterious source, it that water has been taken away.
