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.

-Boston tea party-
lisov135 [29]

Answer: The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company into the harbor. The event was the first major act of defiance to British rule over the colonists. It showed Great Britain that Americans wouldn’t take taxation and tyranny sitting down, and rallied American patriots across the 13 colonies to fight for independence.

When performing an.experiment similar to Millikan's oil drop, a student measured the following load magnitudes: 3.26x10 ^-19 C 5
Scilla [17]

Answer:

1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Explanation:

Let us arrange the charges in the ascending order and round them off as follows :-

1.53 x 10⁻¹⁹ C   → 1.6x 10⁻¹⁹ C

3.26 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

4.66 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

5.09 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

6.39 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 6.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The rounding off has been made to facilitate easy calculation to come to a conclusion and to accommodate error in measurement.

Here we observe that

2 nd charge is almost twice the first charge

3 rd and 4 th charges are almost 3 times the first charge

5 th charge is almost 4 times the first charge.

This result implies that 2 nd to 5 th charges are made by combination of the first charge ie if we take e as first  charge , 2nd to 5 th charges can be  written as 2e,  3e ,3e and 4e. Hence e is the minimum charge existing in nature and on electron this minimum charge of  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C  exists.

A planned high-speed train between Houston and Dallas will travel a distance of 386 kilometers in 5.40 × 10^3 seconds. What is t
Mazyrski [523]

¡Hellow!

For this problem, first, lets convert the seconds in hours:

5,4x10³\rightarrow 5400

h = sec / 3600

h = 5400 s / 3600

h = 1,5

Let's recabe information:

d (Distance) = 386 km

t (Time) = 1,5 h

v (Velocity) = ?

For calculate velocity, let's applicate formula:

                                                    \boxed{\boxed{\textbf{d = v * t} } }

Reeplace according we information:

386 km = v * 1,5 h

v = 386 km / 1,5 h

v = 257,33 km/h

The velocity of the train is of <u>257,33 kilometers for hour.</u>

<u></u>

Extra:

For convert km/h to m/s, we divide the velocity of km/h for 3,6:

m/s = km/h / 3,6

Let's reeplace:

m/s = 257,33 km/h / 3,6

m/s = 71,48

¿Good Luck?

In a certain chemical process, a lab technician supplies 292 J of heat to a system. At the same time, 68.0 J of work are done on
vekshin1

Answer:

The increase in the internal energy of the system is 360 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat supplied to a system, Q = 292 J

Work done on the system by its surroundings, W = 68 J

We need to find the increase in the internal energy of the system. It can be given by first law of thermodynamics. It is given by :

dE=dQ+dW\\\\dE=292\ J+68\ J\\\\dE=360\ J

So, the increase in the internal energy of the system is 360 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
