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.
Answer:Conversion of electric energy to Heat energy
Explanation:Energy is a quantitative energy measured in JOULES or KILOJOULES which must be transferred to a material for a job to be done. It has also been described as the capacity to do work.
In electric toasters the ELECTRIC ENERGY FROM THE SOURCE IS TRANSFERRED INTO THE TOASTER TO BE CONVERTED TO HEAT ENERGY NEEDED TO TOAST FOODS. Other electrical appliances which converts electric energy to Heat energy includes ELECTRIC BOILERS, ELECTRIC COOKERS etc.
I'm not sure if a figure or some choices go along with this, but the closer to the sea floor the diver is, the lower the potential energy
Answer:
17304 J
Explanation:
Complete statement of the question is :
In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 84 kg , are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 350 N .
Part A
How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?
Solution :
= tension force in the tow rope = 350 N
= length of the incline surface = 120 m
= work done by tension force = ?
The tension force acts parallel to incline surface, hence work done by tension force is given as

= height gained by the rider = 30 m
= total mass of rider and tube = 84 kg
Potential energy gained is given as

= Thermal energy created
Using conservation of energy
