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.

A man of mass 50kg ascends a flight of stairs 5m high in 5 seconds. If acceleration due to gravity is 10ms-2, the power expended
Setler79 [48]

The power expended is 500 W

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the work done by the man in order to ascend: this is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the man, which is

W=mg\Delta h

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the man

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h = 5 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(50)(10)(5)=2500 J

Now we can calculate the power expended, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 2500 J is the work done

t = 5 s is the time elapsed

Substituting, we find

P=\frac{2500}{5}=500 W

I NEED HELP BADLY
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a) Andrea's initial momentum, 200 kg m/s

b) Andrea's final momentum, 0

c) Impulse,  = - 200 Ns

d) The force that the seat belt exerts on Andrea, - 400 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial velocity of the car is, u = 40 m/s

The mass of Andrea, m = 50 kg

The time period of deceleration, a = 0.5 s

The final velocity of the car, v = 0

a) Andrea's initial momentum,

               p = mu

                  = 50 x 40

                  = 200 kg m/s

b) Andrea's final momentum

                  P = mv

                     = 50 x 0

                    = 0 kg m/s

c) Impulse

                   I = mv - mu

                     = 0 - 200

                    = - 200 Ns

The negative sign indicated that the momentum is decreased.

d) The force that the seat belt exerts on Andrea

                   F = (mv - mu)t

                     = (0 - 200) / 0.5

                     = - 400 Ns

Hence,the force that the seat belt exerts on Andrea is, - 400 N

An eartly method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance traveled by light = 2 x 550 m = 1100 m

time taken by light to travel this distance = 1100 / 3 x 10⁸

=  366.67 x 10⁻⁸ s

angle between two consecutive slots = 2π / 500 rad

= .004π

angular velocity of wheel = angle moved / time taken

= .004π / 366.67 x 10⁻⁸

= 1091π radian / s

b )  linear speed of a point on the edge of the wheel

= ω R , r is radius of wheel , ω is angular velocity.

= 1091π x 5 x 10⁻²

= 1712.8 m /s
