Why can gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection?

Physics
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
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".

A scientist wants to measure the relationship between humidity in the
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

<em>The most suitable testable question. in this case, would be that 'are there more home runs during the more humid months of the  summer?'</em>

Since the aim of the investigation is to find the relationship between humidity and the number of home runs, measuring the number of home runs during the more humid months in the summer and comparing the data to the number of home runs during the less humid months in the same summer would provide the answer.

<u>Only option D raises a valid question that is relevant to the aim of the investigation.</u>

I need to Swap the convergent lens to a menisc Congergent one And make a graph like the attached photo
weeeeeb [17]

A convergent meniscus lens is a lens that is composed of two spherical surfaces, like the on shown next:

The imaginary line that runs through the middle of the lens is the "symmetry axis".

In this type of lenses incident parallel beams of light converge in one point, as follows:

And thus we get the diagram.

Who is responsible for documenting the crime scene in detail and collecting physical
miv72 [106K]
Crime scenes contain physical evidence that is pertinent to a criminal investigation. This evidence is collected by crime scene investigators (CSIs) and law enforcement. The location of a crime scene can be the place where the crime took place or can be any area that contains evidence from the crime itself.
