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

Physics
2 answers:
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 purpose of the machine is to leverage its mechanical advantage such that the force it outputs to move the heavy object is greater than the force required for you to input.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch! When you apply the conservation of energy, the work the machine does on the object will always be equal to (in an ideal machine) or less than the work you input to the machine.

This means that you will apply a lesser force for a longer distance so that the machine can supply a greater force on the object to push it a smaller distance. That is the trade-off of using the machine: it enables you to use a smaller force but at the cost of having to apply that smaller force for a greater distance.

The answer is: The work input required will equal the work output.

If Earth was with no tilt, would we still have seasons at all? If so, how would they be different?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

If earth had no tilt, we would have no seasons.

Explanation:

As stated in the answer, if the earth had no tilt we wouldn't have seasons. The earth all around the globe would maintain the same temperature,

And due to the no tilt it would also change our orbit to a bit larger slant, in January when we are at our closest to the sun we WOULD have a mini summer. For the North and South Pole, they would remain cold.

It is said that a gas fills all the space available to it. Why then doesn't the atmosphere go off into space?
Alex777 [14]
Earth has its own atmosphere. That is one reason all the water that has been on Earth has been recycled through the water cycle. It never leaves Earth’s atmosphere.
