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.

A nearsighted person wants to see an apple that is 7 meters away but can only clearly see objects that are at most 62 cm away fr

natulia [17]

Answer:

The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance = 70 cm

Image distance = 62 cm

Distance between eyes and glasses = 2.5 cm

Eyeglasses made of diverging corrective lenses can help her to see the apple clearly

So now ,

Object distance from glass =70-2.5 = 67.5 cm

Image distance from glass = 62-2.5 = 59.5 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula for focal length

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{1}{59.5}-\dfrac{1}{67.5}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\ cm$

We need to calculate the power of lens

Using formula of power

$P=\dfrac{100}{f}$

$P=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\times100$

$P=-3.162 \ D$

Negative sign shows the lens is diverging.

Hence, The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.

How does the lever arm change if you decrease the angle of the force?

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The lever arm could decrease or increase depending of the initial angle.

Explanation:

The lever arm d is calculated by:

d = rsin(θ)

where r is the radius and θ the angle between the force and the radius.

So, the increse or decrees of d depends of the sin of the angle θ, if the initial angle is greather than 90° and the angle decrease to an angle closer to 90°, the lever arm will increase but if the initial angle is 90° or lower and the angle decrease, the lever arm will decrease.

Explain the Big Bang and how it started

AlexFokin [52]

The big bang is how astronomers explain the way the universe began. It is the idea that the universe began as just a single point, then expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is right now (and it could still be stretching).

An ore sample weighs 17.50 N in air. When the sample

zysi [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of an ore sample=17.5 N

Tension in the cord=11.2 N

We have to find the total volume and the density of the sample.

We know that

Tension, T= $W-F_b$
