A.cooler and hotter rock rise but do not sink.

B.hotter and cooler rock sink but do not rise.

C.hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

D.cooler rock rises and hotter rock sinks.

hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process that happens inside the surface of earth makes the rocks inside the surface to either expand or shrink in size because of the presence of heat inside the surface.

Heat rises and as the warmer rock gets further away from the super heated center of the Earth it begins to cool off and starts to sink back toward the super heated center of the Earth where it is reheated and the whole process starts over again. That is what a convection current is.

A 4 kg bowling bowl is sitting on a table 1 meter off the ground. How much potential energy does it have?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 39.2\ Joules}

Explanation:

<u>Given Data:</u>

Mass = m = 4 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = 1 m

<u>Required:</u>

Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

P.E. = mgh

<u>Solution:</u>

P.E. = (4)(9.8)(1)

P.E. = 39.2 Joules

In a simple electric circuit, ohm's law states that v=irv=ir, where vv is the voltage in volts, ii is the current in amperes, an
Tju [1.3M]
We take the derivative of Ohm's law with respect to time: V = IR
Using the product rule:
dV/dt = I(dR/dt) + R(dI/dt)
We are given that voltage is decreasing at 0.03 V/s, resistance is increasing at 0.04 ohm/s, resistance itself is 200 ohms, and current is 0.04 A. Substituting:
-0.03 V/s = (0.04 A)(0.04 ohm/s) + (200 ohms)(dI/dt)
dI/dt = -0.000158 = -1.58 x 10^-4 A/s

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. A. Ella said "a lot of energy in the hot water has disappeared." Explain why her stateme
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of energy states that; energy can neither be created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.

In view of this principle, Ella can not be correct when she says that a lot of energy has disappeared. The use of the term "disappeared" connotes the idea that the energy no longer exists which does not happen.

Hence, energy can not "disappear" from hot water rather the energy in the water may be transferred to the surroundings.
