Why can gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection?

1 answer:

5 0

Basically, the temperature is a result of the average kinetic energy of all the atoms comprising the solid/liquid/gas. In solid, these atoms can just vibrate in place, leaving them to only be able to conduct and radiate heat. However, as you probably know liquids and solids take the shape of their container because the bonds between atoms are loose enough to allow them to freely move around. Due to each individual atom having its own energy, and these atoms being free to move about the liquid/gas they collide with other atoms in the substance. These collisions result in a transfer of energy. Finally, lower energy atoms "sink" and higher energy atoms "rise" thus creating a "convection current".

Railroad car A, with mass 6275 kg, is traveling east at 6.5 m/s along a straight track. It strikes railroad car B, with mass 515

LekaFEV [45]

The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of A is 6275kg

Speed of A is 6.5m/s

Mass of B is 5155kg

Speed of B is 3.8m/s

Track is frictionless.

A and B stick together.

speed of attached A and B = ?

mₐsₐ + mᵇsᵇ = (mₐ + mb) s

$6275 X 6.5 + 5155 X 3.8 = ( 6275 + 5155) X s\\\\s = \frac{40787.5 + 19589}{11430}\\ \\s = \frac{60376.5}{11430}\\ \\s = 5.28m/s$

Therefore, The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s

The term of package of electromagnetic wave radiation energy was first introduced by Max Planck. He termed it with photons with the magnitude is:

$\large {\boxed {E = h \times f}}$

<em>E = Energi of A Photon ( Joule )</em>

<em>h = Planck's Constant ( 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js )</em>

<em>f = Frequency of Eletromagnetic Wave ( Hz )</em>

The photoelectric effect is an effect in which electrons are released from the metal surface when illuminated by electromagnetic waves with large enough of radiation energy.

$\large {\boxed {E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \Phi}}$
