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.

How much energy is needed to melt 5 g of ice? The specific latent heat of melting for water is 334000 J/kg.
Katen [24]

Answer:

The needed energy to melt of ice is 1670 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ice = 5 g

Specific latent heat = 334000 J/kg

We need to calculate the energy

Using formula of energy

Q=mL

Where, m = mass

L = latent heat

Put the value into the formula

Q=5\times10^{-3}\times334000

Q=1670\ J

Hence, The needed energy to melt of ice is 1670 J.

Two friends are playing a version of proton golf where the hole is marked by a single proton. The first friend reads his meter,
yarga [219]

Answer:

the electric field strength on the second one is 2.67 N/C.

Explanation:

the electric fiel on the first one is:

E1 = k×q/(r^2)

r^2 = k×q/(E1)

     = (9×10^9)×(q)/(24.0)

     = 375000000q

then the electric field on the second one is:

E2 = k×q/(R^2)

we know that R = 3r

                       R^2 = 9×r^2

E2 = k×q/(9×r^2)

     = k×q/(9×375000000q)

     = k/(9×375000000)

     = (9×10^9)/(9×375000000)

     = 2.67 N/C

Therefore, the electric field strength on the second one is 2.67 N/C.

What kind of fluctuations in weather patterns do you expect to see in your area? Will the fluctuations or changes vary by month,
balandron [24]
Prevailing definitions of climate are not much different from “the climate is what you expect, the weather is what you get”. Using a variety of sources including reanalyses and paleo data, and aided by notions and analysis techniques from Nonlinear Geophysics, we argue that this dictum is fundamentally wrong. <span>In addition to the weather and climate, there is a qualitatively distinct intermediate regime extending over a factor of ≈ 1000 in scale.Climate changes is projected to affect individual organisms, populations, ... Overall, there is a strong correlation between topographic slope and velocity from ... the ecosystems they live in—will adapt to these changes, or if they even can.</span>
