_______ currents assist in the transfer of thermal energy from warmer climates to cooler climates.

<span>It is convection currents that carry thermal energy from warmer places to cooler places. The process operates upon planetary scales, as suggested by the question, but also operates on more local scales such as in your own house. For example, if there is a heater within a single room within your house, convection will drive heat energy to adjacent colder rooms. </span>

A car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

KE = 30,000 J

Explanation:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (600)(10)²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (600)(100)

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (60000)

KE = 30,000 J

A spaceship whose rest length is 350m has a speed of .82c

igomit [66]

Answer:

$t'=1.1897*10^{-6} s$

t'=1.1897 μs

Explanation:

First we will calculate the velocity of micrometeorite relative to spaceship.

Formula:

$u=\frac{u'+v}{1+\frac{u'*v}{c^{2}}}$

where:

v is the velocity of spaceship relative to certain frame of reference = -0.82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track).

u is the velocity of micrometeorite relative to same frame of reference as spaceship = .82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track)

u' is the relative velocity of micrometeorite with respect to spaceship.

In order to find u' , we can rewrite the above expression as:

$u'=\frac{v-u}{\frac{u*v}{c^{2} }-1 }$

$u'=\frac{-0.82c-0.82c}{\frac{0.82c*(-0.82c)}{c^{2} }-1 }$

u'=0.9806c

Time for micrometeorite to pass spaceship can be calculated as:

$t'=\frac{length}{Relatie seed (u')}$

$t'=\frac{350}{0.9806c}$ (c = 3*10^8 m/s)

$t'=\frac{350}{0.9806* 3.0*10^{8} }$

$t'=1.1897*10^{-6} s$

t'=1.1897 μs

Could I please get some help on this question I don’t understand .

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 8 m

Final velocity (v) at 8 m above the lowest point =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

The velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 8)

v² = 0 + 156.8

v² = 156.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √156.8

v = 12.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point is 12.5 m/s.
