Convection is the process in which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water. Natural convection results from the tendency of most fluids to expand when heated so it becomes less dense and rise above.

For example- In a pot of water on a stove the liquid t bottom is heated by conduction. The hot water has lower density and it rises above pushing the cold water downwards so it gets heated.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as a process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) when heated then cooler substance (more dense) will sink to the bottom whereas hotter substance (less dense) will rise to the top.

This means that if warmer substance is placed below colder substance then speed of molecules of warmer substance will be in the upward direction and molecules of colder substance will move in the downward direction.

Answer:

The distance is $d =1.66*10^{-9}m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed of the electron is $v_i = 3.2 *10^5 m/s$

The mass of electron is $m = 9.11*10^{-31}kg$

Let $d$ be the distance between the electron and the proton when the speed of the electron instantaneously equal to twice the initial value

Let $KE_i$ be the initial kinetic energy of the electron \

Let $KE_d$ be the kinetic energy of the electron at the distance $d$ from the proton

Considering that energy is conserved,

The energy at the initial position of the electron = The energy at the final position of the electron

i.e

$KE_i +U_1 = KE_d + U_2$

$U_1 \ and \ U_2$ are the potential energy at the initial position of the electron and at distance d of the electron to the proton

Here $U_1 = 0$

So the equation becomes

$\frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv_d^2 + \frac{kq_1 q_2}{d}$

Here $q_1 \ and \ q_2$ are the charge on the electron and the proton and their are the same since a charge on an electron is equal to charge on a proton
