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.

If vx = 0.40 meters/second and vy = 3.00 meters/second, what is the value of θ?
cestrela7 [59]
<span>θ  is the angle whose tangent is  3/0.4 = arctan (7.5) = 82.4°

(That's the angle above the horizontal.  If that doesn't match
the  </span><span>θ  in your diagram, too bad !  For some strange reason,
I wasn't able to see your diagram.)

The doppler effect is the change in observed frequency due to
Serga [27]

Answer: relative motion between observer and the sound source.

Explanation: The Doppler effect states that when there is a relative motion between an observer and a sound source the frequency of sound perceived by the observer is different in frequency from the original from the source.

The mathematical back up for this claim is given below.

f' = (v+v') /(v-vs) × f

Where f' = observed frequency

v = speed of sound in air

v' = velocity of observer

vs = velocity of source

f = frequency of sound source.

From the formulae, it can be seen that a change in the value of the velocity of observer (v') and source (vs) produces different value of observed frequency (f').

Note, frequency of sound (f) is a constant.
