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.

At an amusement park, a 7.00 kg swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. The swimmer starts at rest, slides without fr
telo118 [61]

Answer:

27.44 J

Explanation:

We can find the energy at the top of the slide by using the potential energy equation:

  • PE = mgh

At the top of the slide, the swimmer has 0 kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.

The swimmer's mass is given as 7.00 kg.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².

The (vertical) height of the water slide is 0.40 m.

Substitute these values into the potential energy equation:

  • PE = (7.00)(9.8)(0.40)
  • PE = 27.44

Since there is 0 kinetic energy at the top of the slide, the total energy present is the swimmer's potential energy.

Therefore, the answer is 27.44 J of energy when the swimmer is at the top of the slide.

An object is placed in a fluid and then released. Assume that the object either floats to the surface (settling so that the obje
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

A. Always true

Explanation:

This is because, the buoyancy force is always present whenever and object is placed in a fluid. The magnitude of this  buoyancy force is always equal to the weight of the fluid    displaced by the object according to Archimedes' principle. This principle is true irrespective of whether the object floats or not. When any object is inserted in a fluid, the buoyancy force is always present irrespective of whether it floats or not.
