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 student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon
nirvana33 [79]
It gets larger because
well let me give you an example
so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom.
we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense.
the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense and the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense.
hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)

Answer:

(a) Most reactive {}       Metal B

{}                                    Metal D

{}                                    Metal A

Least reactive {}           Metal C

(b) (i) Bubbles should form very slowly

(ii) No reaction takes place

Explanation:

(a) The given metals arranged in their order of reactivity are;

Most reactive {}       Metal B

{}                               Metal D

{}                               Metal A

Least reactive {}      Metal C

The other of reactivity is based on the nature of their reactivity of the metals in air

(b) (i) Based on the reactivity of the metals in air, whereby metal A reacts very slowly and an oxide is formed, we have that, based on the reactivity of the metal A, when mixed with dilute hydrochloric acid, bubbles should form very slowly

(ii) Similarly, given that metal C is unreactive, we have that when small pieces of metal C are added to dilute hydrochloric acid, no reaction takes place.

A steel cable has a cross-sectional area 4.49 × 10^-3 m^2 and is kept under a tension of 2.96 × 10^4 N. The density of steel is
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.

Explanation:

let T = 2.96×10^4 N be the tension in in the steel cable, ρ  = 7860 kg/m^3 is the density of the steel and A = 4.49×10^-3 m^2 be the cross-sectional area of the cable.

then, if V is the volume of the cable:

ρ = m/V

m = ρ×V

but V = A×L , where L is the length of the cable.

m = ρ×(A×L)

m/L = ρ×A

then the speed of the wave in the cable is given by:

v = √(T×L/m)

  = √(T/A×ρ)

  = √[2.96×10^4/(4.49×10^-3×7860)]

  = 25.5 m/s

Therefore, the transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.
