What produces the wavy effect in air over a hot stove

Physics

AysviL [449]3 years ago
8 0
<span>The reason that things look wavy in the heat over a hot grill or stove is that the air temperature is not stable. Hot air naturally rises, so as air comes off the hot surface, it rises for a bit before rapidly cooling and sinking to be heated again. This constant mixing of hot and cool air produces vibration. This vibration affects how we see the light moving through the air, making it look wavy.</span>

<span>2.5 m/s going upward.
   In the situation described, Erica and Danny undergo a non-elastic collision which will conserve their combined momentum. Since Erica is stationary, her momentum is 0. And since Danny is moving upward at 4.7 m/s his momentum is 43 kg * 4.7 m/s = 202.1 kg*m/s. Assuming that both Erica and Danny will be moving as a joined system, their combined mass is 38 kg + 43 kg = 81 kg. Since the momentum will be the same, their velocity will be 202.1 kg*m/s / 81 kg = 2.495061728 m/s. Since we only have 2 significant figures in the provided data, rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives a velocity of 2.5 m/s going upward.</span>

If a pendulum has a period of 4 seconds at the north pole with gravity force 9.83 ms^-2 and a 3.97m pendulum length, how could t
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The same pendulum could be adjusted to have the same period, in the equator must have a length of 3.949m.

Explanation:

Tnp= 4 sec

gnp= 9.83 m/sec²

Lnp= 3.97m

Tequ= 4 sec

gequ= 9.78 m/sec²

Lequ=?

Lequ= (Lnp* gequ) / gnp

Lequ= 3.949 m
