Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which on heating a fluid (liquid or gas) the hot material (less dense) rises at the top whereas cool material (more dense) sinks at the bottom then this intermixing of materials is known as a convection.

In conduction process, two atoms with different temperature are kept adjacent to each other then heat flows from warmer object to cooler object.

Radiation is the transfer of energy waves which travel through the space. For example, a metal sheet kept under Sun will become warm due to radiations from the Sun.

Transmission is the process of transferring heat from one body to another with the help a medium.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation when cooler water near the top sinks and warms then this type of heat transfer is convection.

Army is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s west
Aleks04 [339]

Explanation:

Given that,

Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B=+5\ m/sis the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_c=15\ m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B=+5\ m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_c'=-15\ m/s-(+5\ m/s)\\\\=-20\ m/s

So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).

Explain how this happens?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

When the polythene rod is rubbed with the woolen cloth, static electric charges move from the cloth and into the rod. The rod becomes negatively charged as negative charges move from the cloth and into the rod leaving the cloth positively charged as well.

Find the velocity. 10 points. Will give brainliest!
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

6.060606...

Explanation:

To figure out velocity, you divide the distance by the time it takes to travel that same distance, then you add your direction to it. So the distance would be 1000m and the time would be 2 minutes and 45 seconds and if you convert the minutes into fractions you would get 165 seconds than you would divide 1000m by 165 seconds and you would get 6.060606... seconds as her average velocity

To balance a chemical equation we use______. <br> -coefficients <br> -subscripts
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

  • Coefficients are used to balance chemical equations.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants in a chemical equation should be equivalent to the mass of the products.
  • The conservation of mass is achieved in chemical equations is achieved through balancing chemical equations.
  • <em><u>Balancing chemical equations is a try and error of putting appropriate coefficients to the reactants or products to ensure that the number of atoms of each element are equal on the side of the reactants and that of products. </u></em>
