Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

They are relying majorly on radiation. Radiation as a mode of heat transfer is the transfer of heat energy from one body to another without any intervening medium between the source of heat and the body. Without intervening medium means that radiation does not requires material medium for its propagation and it occurs mainly in vacuum.

Example of radiation is the source of heat directly from the sun. Since the kittens are sleeping in a sunny spot, therefore they get their heat through radiation.

At a depth of 1030 m in Lake Baikal (a fresh water lake in Siberia), the pressure has increased by 100 atmospheres (to about 107

dangina [55]

Answer:

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

Explanation:

The bulk modulus is represented by the following differential equation:

$K = - V\cdot \frac{dP}{dV}$

Where:

$K$ - Bulk module, measured in pascals.

$V$ - Sample volume, measured in cubic meters.

$P$ - Local pressure, measured in pascals.

Now, let suppose that bulk remains constant, so that differential equation can be reduced into a first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation with separable variables:

$-\frac{K \,dV}{V} = dP$

This resultant expression is solved by definite integration and algebraic handling:

$-K\int\limits^{V_{f}}_{V_{o}} {\frac{dV}{V} } = \int\limits^{P_{f}}_{P_{o}}\, dP$

$-K\cdot \ln \left |\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = P_{f} - P_{o}$

$\ln \left| \frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = \frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K}$

$\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} = e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }$

The final volume is predicted by:

$V_{f} = V_{o}\cdot e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }$

If $V_{o} = 1\,m^{3}$ , $P_{o} - P_{f} = -10132500\,Pa$ and $K = 2.3\times 10^{9}\,Pa$ , then:

$V_{f} = (1\,m^{3}) \cdot e^{\frac{-10.1325\times 10^{6}\,Pa}{2.3 \times 10^{9}\,Pa} }$

$V_{f} \approx 0.996\,m^{3}$

Change in volume due to increasure on pressure is:

$\Delta V = V_{o} - V_{f}$

$\Delta V = 1\,m^{3} - 0.996\,m^{3}$

$\Delta V = 0.004\,m^{3}$

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

State the difference between sensible heat and latent heat

Anna11 [10]

<u>Latent hea</u>t is related to changes in phase between liquids ,gases and solids.

<u>Sensible heat</u> is related to changes in temperature of a gas or object with no change in phase.

All of the planets and their satellites orbit the Sun in the same direction, and all their orbits lie near the same plane. True

MissTica

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in the counterclockwise (CCW) direction when seen from its north pole. Since, the planets revolve around the Sun because of its gravity, the revolution of all the planets and their moons as seen from the north of the Sun is in CCW direction.

In fact most of the solar system bodies rotate in the same direction that is CCW. Some major exceptions to this are Venus and Uranus.

Almost all the planets and moons were made from the planetary disk around the Sun. Thus, they lie nearly in the same plane.

what output force is generated when an input force of 630 n is applied to a machine with a mechanical advantage of 3

Marta_Voda [28]

The mechanical advantage is the factor by which
the machine multiplies the input force.

If the MA is 3 and the input force is 630N, then
the output force is

(3) x (630N) = 1,890N
