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".

Problem 21-40a:

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Part a)

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.74 \times 10^{12}$

Part b)

$q = 3.37 \times 10^{-4} C$

Explanation:

As we know that electric force on electric charge is given as

$F = qE$

here we have

$q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}C$

E = 153 N/C

now force is given as

$F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(153) = 2.45 \times 10^{-17} N$

Gravitational force on electric charge near surface of earth is given as

$F_g = mg$

$F_g = (9.1 \times 10^{-31})(9.81) = 8.93 \times 10^[-30} N$

now the ratio of two forces is given as

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{2.45 \times 10^{-17}}{8.93 \times 10^{-30}}$

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.74 \times 10^{12}$

Part b)

Now the ball is balanced by the electric force and the force of gravity on it

so here we have

$F_g = qE$

$mg = qE$

$(5.25 \times 10^{-3})(9.81) = q(153)$

here we have

$q = 3.37 \times 10^{-4} C$

Emmett is lifting a box vertically. Which forces are necessary for calculating the total force?

GrogVix [38]

When Emmett is lifting a box vertically, the forces that must be added to calculate the total force are: the gravitational force, tension force(the force exerted by Emmett to the box and the force exerted by the box to Emmett), and air resistance force.
