Convection currents produce the heat in the Earth’s interior.

Physics

DaniilM [7]3 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Convection currents do not produce heat. In fact, convection current are a method of transfer of heat, not of production. Convection occurs when there is a fluid which is heated from bottom, from an external source of heat (such as a pot of boiling water over a flame): the bottom part of the fluid becomes warmer, and so less dense than the colder part, therefore it starts moving up, and it is replaced by the colder parts of the fluid, which go down. Later, these colder parts become warmer, so they start going up, being replaced by new colder parts, etc... in a cycle. This is known as convection current, but it requires an external source of heat, it does not produce heat by itself.

the video identifies the force pair produced when an apple falls through the air. which force belongs in a free-body diagram of
trapecia [35]

The free-body diagram of an apple falling through the air has weight of the apple pointing downwards and the air-resistance on the apple acting upwards.

When an object falls from up to the ground, the object falls under in the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

The vertical component of the force on the apple as it falls trough the air is given as;

∑Fy = 0

Fₙ - W = 0

Fₙ = W

where;

  • <em>Fₙ is the frictional force on the apple acting upwards</em>
  • <em>W is the weight of the apple acting downwards</em>

The free-body diagram of the apple is represented as follows;

                                         ↑ Fₙ

                                         Ο

                                         ↓ W

Thus, the free-body diagram of an apple falling through the air has weight of the apple pointing downwards and the air-resistance on the apple acting upwards.

A dragster starts with zero velocity and completes a 404.5 m (0.2528 mile) run in 4.922 s. If the car had a constant acceleratio
KIM [24]

Answer:

a. a=33.34ms⁻², V=164.4m/s

Explanation:

Since the dragster started with zero velocity, de determine the acceleration using of the equations of motion.

Below are the data given

Distance, s=404.5m,

time taken,t=4.922secs

Using the equation

S=ut+1/2at²

where u is the initial velocity and u=0

Making the acceleration the subject of the formula, we arrive at

a=2s/t²

a=(2*404.5)/4.922²

a=33.34ms⁻².

To determine the velocity, we use

V=u+at

V=0+33.34ms⁻² *4.922sec

V=164.4m/s

To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The maximum energy stored in the combination is 0.0466Joules

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three capacitors C1-11.7 μF, C2 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.

Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CtV² where

Ct is the total effective capacitance

V is the supply voltage

Since the capacitors are connected in series.

1/Ct = 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3

Given C1 = 11.7 μF, C2 = 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF

1/Ct = 1/11.7 + 1/21.0 + 1/28.8

1/Ct = 0.0855+0.0476+0.0347

1/Ct = 0.1678

Ct = 1/0.1678

Ct = 5.96μF

Ct = 5.96×10^-6F

Since V = 125V

E = 1/2(5.96×10^-6)(125)²

E = 0.0466Joules

Valentin [98]

Explanation:

The orbit of the planet is considered to be stable and does not change over time. This means that the force of gravity and inertia are perfectly balanced. Leading to forward motion of Planet and moons under force of gravity of some other large body(Most probably stars).This is in turns leads to formation of orbit.
