Physics

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.

A person is lying on a diving board 2.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

7.98 m

Explanation:

In the given question,

distance above surface= 2 m

Distance penny from person = 8 m

Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.

The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).

Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth

real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth

Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2

= 6 m

therefore, real depth =  4/3 x apparent depth

= 1.33 x 6

= 7.98

thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.

How many joules of electrical energy is transferred per second by 6V 0.5 A lamp?
Degger [83]

When you ask for "joules per second", you're asking for "watts".
The rate of energy "transfer" is 'power'.  In this case, the light bulb
transfers energy out of the electrical circuit and into the space
around it, in the form of light and heat radiation.

Electrical power = (voltage) x (current) =

                              (6 volts) x (0.5 ampere) =

                                          3 watts  =  3 joules per second.

A man does 4,475 J of work in the process of pushing his 2.50 103 kg truck from rest to a speed of v, over a distance of 26.0 m.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a) 1.89 m/s  b) 172.1 N

Explanation:

a)

  • Applying the work-energy theorem, if we can neglect the friction between truck and road, the total change in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the external forces.
  • This work, is just 4,475 J.
  • So we can write the following equation:

        \Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2} = 4,475 J

  • where m= mass of the truck = 2.5*10³ kg.
  • So, we can find the speed v, as follows:

        v =\sqrt{\frac{2*W}{m}} =\sqrt{\frac{2*4,475J}{2.5e3kg} }  = 1.89 m/s

b)

  • The work done by the man, is just the horizontal force applied, times the displacement produced by the force horizontally:

        W = F*d

  • We can solve for F, as follows:

        F = \frac{W}{d} = \frac{4,475 J}{26.0m} =  172.1 N
