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

1 answer:

4 0

<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>

Imagine you transfer heat into a gas. This heat splits up in two different ways: Additional thermal energy making the gas hotter

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

<u>36% of the initial heat can be used to do work.</u>

Explanation:

The initial heat is the 100%, i.e. it is all the heat that will be transferred.

It wil be transferred into two different kinds of energy:

additional thermal energy that will increase the thermal energy of the gas, making it hotter. Call it U. U = 64%. And,

"fuel" for the gas to do work. Call it W.

Then,

100% = U + W

W = 100% - U

W = 100% - 64% = 36%

That is, 36% of the initial heat is available to do work.

A 12.0kg microwave oven is pushed 14.0m up the sloping surface of a loading ramp inclined at an angle 37 degrees above the horiz

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

a) What is the work done on the oven by the force F?

W = F * x

W = 120 N * (14.0 cos(37))

<<<< (x component)

W = 1341.71

b) $F_f=\mu_k N$

$F_f=0.25\times12\times9.8$

= 29.4 N

$W_f= F_f\times x$

$W_f= 29.0\times 14 cos(37)$

W_f= 328.72 J = 329 J

c) increase in the internal energy

U_2 = mgh

= 12*9.81*14sin(37)

= 991 J

d) the increase in oven's kinetic energy

U_1 + K_1 + W_other = U_2 + K_2

0 + 0 + (W_F - W_f ) = U_2 + K_2

1341.71 J - 329 J - 991 J = K_2

K_2 = 21.71 J

e) F - F_f = ma

(120N - 29.4N ) / 12.0kg = a

a = 7.55m/s^2

vf^2 = v0^2 + 2ax

vf^2 = 2(7.55m/s)(14.0m)

V_f = 14.5396m/s

K = 1/2(mv^2)

K = 1/2(12.0kg)(14.5396m/s)

K = 87.238J

You will be colliding two carts in this lab. Select all the systems for which you predict the total momentum of the system will

baherus [9]

From the momentum conservation we know that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. The momentum in a singular way can be defined as the product between the mass and the velocity of an object. In the presented system, however, there are two objects, therefore the mass of both and the speed of both, before and after the collision must be taken into account. Mathematically we could describe this as

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Here,

$m_{1,2}$ = Mass of each object

$u_{1,2}$ = Initial velocity of each object

$v_{1,2}$ = Final velocity of each object

From here we can realize that it is necessary to use the system on both cars to be able to predict what will happen either with their masses, or their speeds.

The correct answer is C.

A student took a calibrated 250.0 gram mass, weighed it on a laboratory balance, and found it read 266.5 g. What was the student

Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 6.6%

Explanation:

The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated using the formula;

Percent error = (experimental value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

In this question, the calibrated 250.0 gram mass is the accepted value while the weighed mass of 266.5 g is the experimental or measured value.

Hence, the percentage error can be calculated thus;

Percent error = (266.5-250.0/250.0) × 100

Percent error = 16.5/250 × 100

Percent error = 0.066 × 100

Percent error = 6.6%
