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 1500 kg car drives around a flat, 50 m diameter track, starting from rest. The drive wheels supply a small but steady 525 N fo
krok68 [10]

Answer:

No. of revolutions before the car slides off is 2

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the car, m = 1500 kg

Diameter of the track, d = 50 m

Force, F = 525 N

Coefficient of static friction, \mu_{s} = 0.90

Now,

The acceleration in the tangential direction is given by:

F = ma_{T}

525 = 1500\times a_{T}

a_{T} = 0.35\ m/s^{2}

Here, the centripetal force is given by the friction force:

\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = \mu mg

Thus

v = \sqrt{\mu gR} = \sqrt{0.90\times 9.8\times 25} = 14.849\ m/s

Time taken by the car is given by:

v = v' + at

v' = initial velocity = 0

Thus

t = \frac{v}{a} = \frac{14.849}{0.35} = 42.426\ s

Total Distance covered, d is given by:

v^{2} = v'^{2} + 2ad

14.849^{2} = 0^{2} + 2\times 0.35d

d = 341.99 m

Distance covered in 1 revolution is the circumference of the circle, d' = 2\pi R

Now, the no. of revolutions is given by:

n = \frac{d}{d'} = \frac{314.99}{2\pi \times 25} = 2
