Explanation:

When we heat a fluid (liquid or gas) then hot material (less dense) will rise to the top and cool material (more dense) will sink at the bottom. Hence, this process of inter mixing of fluids is known as convection.

So, when we hold our hand over a pot of boiling water then due to the convection process taking place we feel heat on our hand. Whereas when there occurs direct touch between two objects of different temperature then this heat transfer is known as conduction.

Thus, we can conclude that the boiling water is transferring heat to your hand through convection.

slava [35]

Answer:

The current lags the potential difference by π/2 in an inductor

Explanation:

The potential difference leads to the current by  \frac{\pi}{2}. Alternate signals such as current and voltage -in this case- are periodic, this means that this signals are repeated at fixed spaces of time. Thus, In an inductor the current lags the potential difference by \frac{\pi}{2}.

GaryK [48]

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the carousel at the State Fair, Mary's and Alex's  angular speed M and tangential speed vM is mathematically given as

Mary's and Alex's  angular speed=1.43

Tangential speed mary=3.22 m/s

Tangential speed alex =2.260m/s

<h3>What is Mary's and Alex's angular speed M and tangential speed vM?</h3>

Generally, the equation for angular speed is mathematically given as

w=2\pi /T\\\\Therefore\\\\w=2\pi/3.9

w = 1.61 rev/see 3.9

Centripetal acc mary = v^2/r

Centripetal acc mary  = w^2r

Centripetal acc mary = w^2x 2m

Centripetal acc. of Alex = w²x L.u

Therefore

\frac{(ac) mary }{(ac) plex}= 1.43

Hence

tang. speed V=Wr

tang. speed of mary = 1.61x2 = 3.22 m/s

tang. speed of Alex: 1.61X1·4 =2.260m/s
