The answer to the first blank is Density : And the second blank is thermal
Alex777 [14]3 years ago

Solution: (i) Density (ii) thermal

Liquids at lower temperatures have greater density when compared to liquids at higher temperatures.This is because, at higher temperatures, molecules have greater kinetic energy and hence they are spaced farther apart, when compared to molecules at lower temperatures. Thus, the colder layers of liquids are heavier than the warmer layers, which causes then to move down due to gravity. For the same reason, the hotter layers move upwards through the liquid.

When a liquid is heated, the molecules closest to the heat source have greater energy, their density becomes less and they move upwards. The colder layers sink downwards. The layers of the liquid which were cold initially, get heated and they travel upwards. As the process repeats, convection currents are set up in the liquid.

These currents transfer the thermal energy derived from the source throughout the liquid. The process stops when the entire liquid is at the same temperature.

Thus, convection currents occur in liquids due to temperature and <u>density</u> differences. Convection currents transfer <u>thermal</u> energy throughout a fluid.

What did solomon asch discover in his famous experiment on judging the lengths of lines?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Asch (1956) found that group size influenced whether subjects conformed. The bigger the majority group (no of confederates), the more people conformed, but only up to a certain point.

If the electrical field in some region or space is zero, does that imply that there is no electrical charge in that region?
mrs_skeptik [129]
No
It means the resultant electrical charges had canceled each other out so there is no field to be sensed .

Extreme-sports enthusiasts have been known to jump off the top of El Capitan, a sheer granite cliff of height 910 m in Yosemite
german

Answer:

The jumper is in freefall for 12.447 seconds.

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating how far the jumper falls.

Initial height (on cliff) = 910 m

Final height after freefall = 150 m

Distance the jumper falls in freefall = 910 - 150 = 760 m

We can now use the equation of motion below to solve for the time:

s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)

here. acceleration = 9.81 m/s   (due to gravity)

initial speed (u) = 0 m/s    (because vertical speed is 0 at the start)

and distance (s) = 760 meters (as calculated above)

So for speed we get:

760=0*t+0.5(9.81*t^2)

760=4.905t^2

t = 12.447 seconds

Two parallel plate capacitors 1 and 2 are identical except that capacitor 1 has charge +q on one plate and charge −q on the othe
Grace [21]

Answer:

a) the capacitance is the same for both capacitors.

b) The potential difference between the plates for the capacitor with charge +2q, is double of the one for the capacitor  with charge +q.

c) The electric field magnitude between the plates for the capacitor with charge +2q, is double of the one for the capacitor with charge +q

d) The energy stored between the plates for the capacitor with charge +2q, is 4 times the value for the one with charge +q  

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of a capacitor, by definition, is as follows:

C = \frac{q}{V}

Appying Gauss' Law to one of plates, it can be showed, that the capacitance (for a parallel plates capacitor) can be  expressed as follows:

C = ε*A / d

As it can be seen, it does not depend on the charge. so we conclude that the capacitance must be the same for both capacitors, due to they are identical except for the value of the charge on the plates.

b) By definition, as we said above, the capacitance is equal to the proportion between the charge of one of the plates, and the potential difference between them.

If this proportion must remain the same, and one of the capacitors has the double of  the charge than the other, the potential difference must be the double also.

c) Applying Gauss' law, to the surface of one of  the plates, and assuming a constant surface charge density σ, it can be  showed that the  electric field can be calculated as follows:

E*A = Q/ε₀ as σ=Q/A

⇒ E = σ/ε₀

As σ is directly proportional to the charge (being the area A the same), we conclude that the electric field for the capacitor with charge +2q must be the double than the one for the capacitior with charge +q.

c) The electric potential energy, stored between plates of a capacitor, can be written as follows:

Ue = \frac{1}{2} *\frac{q^{2}}{C}

If the capacitance remains the same, we can conclude that the electric potential energy for the capacitor with charge +2q, as the charge is raised to the 2nd power, must be 4 times the one for the capacitor with charge +q.
