It is less dense than the water above it and so it the heated less dense water rises upwards to replace the denser water and the denser water falls below to the heating element below, and this also becomes less dense and the circle continues, thus setting up the convection current.

Similar principle is applied in convection current for land and sea breezes.

A lamp uses a 230 V mains supply and transfers 96 J of energy every second. Work out the current through the lamp. Give your ans
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

0.4 A

Explanation:

From the question,

Electric power = Voltage×current

P = VI.......................... Equation 1

Make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V..................... Equation 2

Given: P = 96 J/s, V = 230 V.

Substitute into equation 2

I = 96/230

I = 0.4 A.

Hence the current is 0.4 A

Two billiard balls of equal mass move at right angles and meet at the origin of an xy coordinate system. Initially ball A is mov
frez [133]

Answer:

Speed of ball A after collision is 3.7 m/s

Speed of ball B after collision is 2 m/s

Direction of ball A after collision is towards positive x axis

Total momentum after collision is m×4·21 kgm/s

Total kinetic energy after collision is m×8·85 J

Explanation:

<h3>If we consider two balls as a system as there is no external force initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system</h3>

Let the mass of each ball be m kg

v_{1} be the velocity of ball A along positive x axis

v_{2} be the velocity of ball A along positive y axis

u be the velocity of ball B along positive y axis

Conservation of momentum along x axis

m×3·7 = m× v_{1}

∴  v_{1} = 3.7 m/s along positive x axis

Conservation of momentum along y axis

m×2 = m×u + m× v_{2}

2 = u +  v_{2} → equation 1

<h3>Assuming that there is no permanent deformation between the balls we can say that it is an elastic collision</h3><h3>And for an elastic collision, coefficient of restitution = 1</h3>

∴ relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation

-2 =  v_{2} - u → equation 2

By adding both equations 1 and 2 we get

v_{2} = 0

∴ u = 2 m/s along positive y axis

Kinetic energy before collision and after collision remains constant because it is an elastic collision

Kinetic energy = (m×2² + m×3·7²)÷2

                         = 8·85×m J

Total momentum = m×√(2² + 3·7²)

                             = m× 4·21 kgm/s

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.
