Answer: The correct answer is fluids.

Explanation:

There are 3 modes of heat transfer that happens:

1. Conduction: In this type of heat transfer, heat is transferred when there is direct contact between the two object.

2. Convection: In this type of heat transfer, heat is transferred when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

3. Radiation: In this type of heat transfer, heat is transferred when there is direct transfer of energy through space.

Hence, convection is only restricted to fluids which are liquids and gases.

Why can concave mirror is used in cosmetic mirror

Marta_Voda [28]

A concave mirror is a curved mirror that bulges inward. Objects reflected in concave mirrors often appear bigger than they really are, although the specifics of how the image appears depends upon the object's distance from the mirror. Concave mirrors are used in car headlights, in dentist's offices and in makeup mirrors.

The volume of a gas is reduced from 4 l to 0.5 l while the temperature is held constant. How does the gas pressure change?

shusha [124]

Answer:

The pressure increases by a factor 8

Explanation:

For a gas held at constant temperature, Boyle's law can be applied. It states that the product of the gas pressure and the gas volume is constant, so we can write:

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

where

$p_1$ is the initial pressure

$p_2$ is the final pressure

$V_1$ is the initial volume

$V_2$ is the final volume

For the gas in this problem, the volume is reduced from

$V_1 = 4 L$

$V_2 = 0.5 L$

so we can rewrite the equation as

$\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{4 L}{0.5 L}=8$

this means that the pressure of the gas will increase by a factor 8.

4500 miles to inches

Volgvan

Answer:

2.8512*10^8 inches

Explanation:

Seeing as the ratio for miles to inches is 1 mile = 63360 inches, set up an equation. 1 mile / 63360 inches = 4500 miles / x inches. Cross multiply and simplify to 2.8512*10^8 inches. Hope this helps! :)

What is the efficiency of an engine that exhausts 440 J of heat to a cold reservoir and receives 570 J of heat from a hot reserv

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Efficiency = 77%

Explanation:

Input energy = 570 J

Output energy = 440 J

To find the efficiency;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; energy}{In-put \; energy} * 100$
