How is radiation different from convection and conduction?

Physics
1 answer:
Volgvan4 years ago
3 0
Difference Between Conduction, Convection and Radiation:
While conduction is the transfer of heat energy by direct contact, convection is the movement of heat by actual motion of matter; radiation is the transfer of energy with the help of electromagnetic waves.

So I would agree with C. Radiation can move through empty space, whereas conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat (by movement or direct contact).

A ball is dropped from rest. how fast is the ball going after 3 seconds​
Airida [17]

Answer:

v = 29.4m/s

Explanation:

Since the ball is dropped at rest,

u = 0m/s

a = 9.81m/s²

Using

v = u + at

After 3 seconds,

v = 0 + (9.81)(3)

v = 29.4m/s

What does the diameter in meters need to be of a round parachute that the designer has determined needs to have an area of 500 s
Marrrta [24]
Area of a circle is
A= pi r^2
so
500m^2 = 3.14 r2
500/pi = r ^2
152.1549...=r^2
square root both sides
r=12.61566...
d=2r
d=25.2
