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 mass m is attached to a string connected to a force sensor on a rotating platform. The platform’s angular velocity, ω, can be

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm

Explanation:

Given

The platform is rotating with angular speed , $\omega =8.5\, \frac{rad}{sec}$

Mass m is moving on platform in a circle with radius , $r=0.20\, m$

Force sensor reading to which spring is attached , $F=4.8\, N$

Now for the mass m to move in circle the required centripetal force is given by $F=m\omega ^{2}r$

=> $4.8=m\times 8.5 ^{2}\times 0.20$

$=>m=0.332\, kg$

Thus the mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm

A hose directs a horizontal jet of water, moving with a velocity of 20m/s, on to a vertical wall. The

just olya [345]

Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum.
The initial amount of momentum is $mv$ because water stops when it hit the wall total change of momentum must be $\Delta p=mv$ .
Now let's calculate the force.
$F= \frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{d(mv)}{dt}=\frac{dm}{dt}v$
We need to find $\frac{dm}{dt}$ . This is the amount of water hiting the wall per second.
$\frac{dm}{dt}=\rho Av$
Our final formula would be:
$F=\rho Avv=\rho Av^2$
And now we can calculate the answer:
$F=1000\cdot5\cdot 10^{-4}\cdot(20)^2=200 N$
