How do the positions of the hot and cold water affect the speed of convection

Physics

Aleks [24]3 years ago

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.

Circuit A in a house has a voltage of 208 V and is limited by a 40.0-A circuit breaker. Circuit B is at 120.0 V and has a 20.0-A
Setler79 [48]

Given Information:  

Voltage of circuit A = Va = 208 Volts

Current of circuit A = Ia = 40 Amps

Voltage of circuit B = Vb = 120 Volts

Current of circuit B = Ib = 20 Amps

Required Information:  

Ratio of power = Pa/Pb = ?

Answer:  

Ratio of power = Pa/Pb = 52/15

Explanation:  

Power can be calculated using Ohm's law

P = VI

Where V is the voltage and I is the current flowing in the circuit.

The power delivered by circuit A is

Pa = Va*Ia

Pa = 208*40

Pa = 8320 Watts

The power delivered by circuit B is

Pb = Vb*Ib

Pb = 120*20

Pb = 2400 Watts

Therefore, the ratio of the maximum power delivered by circuit A to that delivered by circuit B is

Pa/Pb = 8320/2400

Pa/Pb = 52/15

An object experiences a net acceleration to the left. Which of the following statements about this object are true? There may be
dedylja [7]

Answer:

  1. When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
  2. If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude

Explanation:

When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.

From Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of the object is given as;

a = ∑F / m

a = -F / m

The negative value of "a" indicates acceleration to the left

where;

∑F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

At a constant force, F = ma ⇒ m₁a₁ = m₂a₂

If the mass of the object was doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (m₂)

a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (2m₁)

a₂ = ¹/₂(a₁)

Therefore, the following can be deduced from the acceleration of this object;

  1. When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
  2. If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude

1.Predict the frequency of a tuning fork that emits a sound with a wavelength of 0.385 m.
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

1.) Frequency F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

Explanation:

1.) Given that the wavelength = 0.385m

The speed of sound = 343 m / s

To predict the frequency, let us use the formula V = F λ

Where (λ) = wavelength = 0.385m

343 = F × 0.385

F = 343/0.385

F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Given that the frequency = 384Hz

Using the formula again

V = F λ

λ = V/F

Wavelength (λ) = 343/384

Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

The two questions can be solved with the use of formula

What is a stream’s discharge rate if it has a width of 10 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a velocity of 2 meters per second?
julia-pushkina [17]

A stream’s discharge rate if it has a width of 10 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a velocity of 2 meters per second will be 40 m^{3}/sec .

Discharge rate = velocity * area

                 = velocity * depth * width

                 = 2 * 2 * 10 = 40 m^{3}/sec

A stream’s discharge rate if it has a width of 10 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a velocity of 2 meters per second will be 40 m^{3}/sec .
