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

Physics
2 answers:
Aleks [24]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Which calculates the intensity of an electric field at a point where a 0.50 C charge experiences a force of 20. N?
tester [92]

Answer: 40\ N/C

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of charge is q=0.5\ C

Force experienced is F=20\ N

Electric field intensity is the electrostatic force per unit charge

\therefore E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{20}{0.50}\\\\\Rightarrow E=40\ N/C

Thus, the electric field intensity is 40\ N/C

Classify the properties as extensive or intensive: mass density; color volume; total energy; temperature; melting point
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Intensive properties

Density

Color

temperature

Melting point

Extensive properties

Mass

Volume

Total Energy

Explanation:

Intensive properties:  In Physics, Intensive properties which are not depend of the amount of matter in a sample, It only depends of the type of matter, some examples of intensive properties are:

1. Density: It is a intensive property. It can explain better with a example:  the water density is 1000 kg/m3, So if we have 1 liter or 1000 liters of water  the density will be the same for the two samples.

2. Color: Solid sodium chloride is white. If you have 2 samples the first recipient  with 2 kilograms of NaCl and the second with 10 kilograms of NaCl. The color of the substance does not depend on the amount of the substance.

As was mentioned before the same theory is applied to temperature and melting point concepts.

On the other hand,

Extensive properties are properties of the matter which depend on the amount of matter that is present in the system or sample. some examples are:

1. Mass: It is a property that measures the amount of matter that an object contains. For example, 10 kilograms of solid Copper contains a higher mass than 2 kilograms of the same metal.  

2. Volume: It is a property which measures the space occupied by an object or a substance. For example, the space occupied by a glass of milk is lower than the space occupied by a bottle of milk, Then the volume of the glass of milk is lower than the volume of the bottle of milk.

3. Finally the total energy is contained in molecules and atoms that constituted systems  so, if the amount of matter increases the number of molecules too, then the total energy will increase.

I hope it helps you.
