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.

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 34.8 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a) $k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}$ , b) $l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)$

Explanation:

a) The Hooke's law states that spring force is directly proportional to change in length. That is to say:

$F \propto \Delta l$

In this case, the force is equal to the weight of the object:

$F = m\cdot g$

$F = (8.22\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )$

$F = 80.614\,N$

The spring constant is:

$k = \frac{F}{\Delta l}$

$k = \frac{80.614\,N}{0.408\,m-0.348\,m}$

$k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}$

b) The length of the spring is:

$F = k\cdot (l-l_{o})$

$l = l_{o} + \frac{F}{k}$

$l=0.348\,m+\frac{205\,N}{1343.6\,\frac{N}{m} }$

$l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)$

Fudgin [204]

The constant is the temperature of the air that the plants get.

The independent variable is the thing that YOU control. That's the amount of sunlight each plant gets.

The <em>dependent variable</em> is anything that's caused by changes in the independent variable. That's the growth of the plants.
