Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as a process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) is heated and the cooler liquid (more dense) settles or sinks at the bottom whereas a hotter material (less dense) will rises to the top.

For example, ice being less dense (cooler material) will float in a lake whereas liquid water being more dense will sink at the bottom.

Thus, we can conclude that situation in which convection currents most likely occur is within the water in a lake as ice forms on the top.

-- Multiply each side of the formula by 2

-- Then divide each side by t

-- Then subtract V(i) from each side.

Suppose your local apparent solar time is 11 am, and you have a clock that says it is noon in Greenwich. What is your longitude

jeyben [28]

The longitude based on the time difference is 15 degrees.

<h3>Longitude of complete rotation of the Earth</h3>

The longitude of a complete rotation of the earth in a 24 hours is calculated as follows;

$= \frac{360^0}{24} = 15^0 \ of \ longitude$

<h3>Time difference</h3>

The time difference between the local apparent solar time and the Greenwich time is calculated as follows;

$t = 12 pm \ - \ 11 am\\\\t = 1 \ hour$

Since it is one hour time difference, the longitude is 15 degrees.

A thin rod of length 0.64 m and mass 120 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing

valina [46]

Answer:

1. Kinetic Energy = 0.0161 Joules

2. Height = 0.0137m

Explanation:

Given

Length of Rod, l = 0.64m

Mass, m = 120g = 0.12kg

Angular speed, w = 1.40 rad/s

Calculating the Rod's kinetic energy

This is calculated by

Kinetic Energy = ½Iw²

Where I = rotational inertia of the rod about an axis.

This is calculated as follows;

I = Icm + mh²

I = ImL² + m(L/2)²

I = 1/12 * 0.12 * 0.64² + 0.12 * (0.64/2)²

I = 0.016384 kgm²

By substituton

KE = ½Iw² becomes

KE = ½ * 0.016384 * 1.40²

KE = 0.01605632J

KE = 0.0161 Joules

2. Using the total conservation of momentum;

K + U = Kf + V

Where K = Initial Kinetic Energy of the rod at lowest point.

U = Initial gravitational potential energy of the rod at lowest point

Kf = Final Kinetic Energy of the rod at maximum height = 0 J

V = Final gravitational potential energy of the rod at maximum height

So, K + U = Kf + V become

K + U = 0 + V

K + U = V

K = V - U = mgh

substitute 0.01605632J for K

0.01605632J = mgh

h = 0.01605632J/mg

h = 0.01605632J/(0.12 * 9.8)

h = 0.013653333333333

h = 0.0137m
