Answer and explanation;

-The cause of convention currents in a hot spring is rainwater and melted snow is cool and denser and sinks to the bottom of the hot spring where it is heated by a shallow magma chamber. The heated water expands and is less dense and rises to the top.

Explanation;

-Convention Current is the movement of fluid caused by the differences in temperature. Transference of heat from one part of a fluid to another.

-Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks. It is this movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth. In the atmosphere, as air warms it rises, allowing cooler air to flow in underneath.

A 30,000-kg freight car is coasting at 0.850 m/s with negligible friction under a hopper that dumps 110,000 kg of scrap metal in

erica [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a freight car, $m_1=30,000-kg$

Speed of a freight car, $u_1=0.85\ m/s$

Mass of a scrap metal, $m_2=110,000\ kg$

(a) Let us assume that the final velocity of the loaded freight car is V. The momentum of the system will remain conserved as follows :

$30000\times 0.85=(30000+110000)V\\\\V=\dfrac{30000\times 0.85}{30000+110000}\\\\=0.182\ m/s$

So, the final velocity of the loaded freight car is 0.182 m/s.

(b) Lost on kinetic energy = final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy

$\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}[(m_1+m_2)V^2-m_1u_1^2)]\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times [(30,000+110,000 )0.182^2-30000(0.85)^2]\\\\=-8518.82\ J$

Lost in kinetic energy is 8518.82. Negative sign shows loss.

A man attaches a divider to an outdoor faucet so that water flows through a single pipe of radius 9.25 mm into four pipes, each

irinina [24]

Answer:

1.24 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

9.25 mm = 0.00925 m

5 mm = 0.005 m

The volume rate that flow through the single pipe is

$\dot{V} = vA = 1.45 * \pi * 0.00925^2 = 0.00039 m^3/s$

This volume rate should be constant and divided into the 4 narrower pipes, each of them would have a volume rate of

$\dot{V_n} = \dot{V} / 4 = 0.00039 / 4 = 9.74\times10^{-5} m^3/s$

So the flow speed of each of the narrower pipe is:

$v_n = \frac{\dot{V_n}}{A_n} = \frac{\dot{V_n}}{\pi r_n^2}$

$v_n = \frac{9.74\times10^{-5}}{\pi 0.005^2} = 1.24 m/s$
