Convection is basically when a liquid gets hot, rises, cools down, moves to the side and back to the bottom to get hot again. The best example of convection is a pot of boiling water

A more scientific definition of convection is: <span>the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

The world speed record on water was set on October 8, 1978 by Ken Warby. If Ken drove his motorboat a distance of 1500 m in 8.10
maxonik [38]

Answer:

317.52 mi/hr

Explanation:

First convert Meters into miles as the answer is required in miles/ h

1000m = 0.62 mi

Now, convert second into hours

7.45s = 0.0001 hr

The speed of the boat would be

v = 0.62/0.0001

=317.52 mi/hr

A student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. He placed four different masses on a table and pulled them
Gwar [14]

Answer:

B. There is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.

Explanation:

From the table, the values of force increases with increase in the value of mass.

if 5kg=25 N

Finding the contant of proportionality k;

k=25/5=5

thus M=k(F)...........where M is mass in kg and F is force in newton, then

M=5F

This show that for every value of mass, we get the value of Force if we multiply by a contant k=5

This means there is a direct proportionality relation between mass and force in the table.

You kick a ball with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle of 51°. How far away does the ball land?
In-s [12.5K]
-- The vertical component of the ball's velocity is 14 sin(<span>51°) = 10.88 m/s

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

-- The ball rises for 10.88/9.8 seconds, then stops rising, and drops for the
same amount of time before it hits the ground.

-- Altogether, the ball is in the air for (2 x 10.88)/(9.8) = 2.22 seconds
==================================

-- The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is  14 cos(</span><span>51°) = 8.81 m/s

-- At this speed, it covers a horizontal distance of (8.81) x (2.22) = <em><u>19.56 meters</u></em>
before it hits the ground.


As usual when we're discussing this stuff, we completely ignore air resistance.

The wavelength of green light is about the size of an atom. (T/F)
Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

The wavelength of green light is about 500 nanometers, or two thousandths of a millimeter. The typical wavelength of a microwave oven is about 12 centimeters, which is larger than a baseball.
