Why can gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection?

Physics

Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

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".

Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave in a string is equal to:

v = √(T / (m/L))

where T is the tension and m/L is the mass per length.

To find the mass per length, we need to find the cross-sectional area of the thread.

A = πr² = π/4 d²

A = π (3.0×10⁻⁶ m)²

A = 2.83×10⁻¹¹ m²

So the mass per length is:

m/L = ρA

m/L = (1300 kg/m³) (2.83×10⁻¹¹ m²)

m/L = 3.68×10⁻⁸ kg/m

So the wave velocity is:

v = √(T / (m/L))

v = √(7.0×10⁻³ N / (3.68×10⁻⁸ kg/m))

v ≈ 440 m/s

The speed of sound in air at sea level is around 340 m/s.  So the spider will feel the vibration in the thread before it hears the sound.

An object takes 5s to reach the ground from a hight of 5m on planet.what is the value of g on planet?
Greeley [361]
T=5s
S=5m
U=0s/m
Acceleration=m/s^2
S=ut+(1/2)(a)(5^2)
A=(25/2)=5
A=5/(25/2)
A=10/25
A=2/5
A=0.4
A=0.4m/s^2.
