Answer: Conduction

Explanation: As ice melts,more sunlight is absorbed,as more sunlight is absorbed,the atmosphere heats up,as the atmosphere heats up,more ice melts. This whole process is known as CONDUCTION.

Conduction occurs when there is different temperature between two materials, when there exist a transfer energy(i.e transfer from higher-energy atoms in the hot region to the lower-energy atoms in the cold region). When the atmosphere is heated up due to sunlight,there is a rise in temperature which makes the ice to melt due to transfer of warmth it absorbed from sunlight.

The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 33.9 km/h wind blowing toward the south. The speed of the aircraft in the a
diamong [38]

Answer:\theta =9.96^{\circ} North of west

Explanation:

Given

Plane wishes to fly in west

but wind with speed 33.9 km/h towards south obstructing its path

so plane must fly at an angle of \theta w.r.t west such that it final velocity is towards west

Plane absolute speed=195 km/h

To fly towards west velocity in Y direction should be zero

thus 195sin\theta =33.9

\theta =9.96^{\circ}

so Plane should head towards 9.96^{\circ} North of west in order to fly in west.

So plane

actual velocity is

v=-195cos9.96\hat{i}+195sin9.96\hat{j}

From the calculations, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is 0.38 m/s^2.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

The weight of an object is obtained as the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus;

When;

mass = 120 kg

weight =  46 N

acceleration due to gravity = 46 N/120 kg

=0.38 m/s^2

If you have 12 atoms of hydrogen before a chemical reaction how many atoms of hydrogen will be president after the chemical reac
kaheart [24]
If you have 12 atoms of hydrogen before a chemical reaction, the number of hydrogen atoms that will be present after the chemical reaction is 12 atoms.
The Law of Conservation of Mass (LOCOM) states that mass is neither created nor destroyed before and after any chemical reaction.
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass (LOCOM), a balanced chemical equation requires that the number of atoms on the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms on the product side of any chemical reaction.
In this context, a chemical reaction having 12 atoms of hydrogen as reactants at the beginning, should also produce a total of 12 atoms of hydrogen as products at the end of the chemical reaction.

What is kinematics ?<br>explain ~​
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces which cause the motion.

and/or

Kinematics is the study of motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how the momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.
