Do you think that solids can undergo convection? EXPLAIN!

Katarina [22]

<span>No. Solids can't undergo convection, the reason is that convection works because moving molecules which are hotter and faster have a lower density and therefore rise to the surface. With a solid now, the molecules don't move they can only vibrate.

Therefore solids conduct.</span>

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball) just before the collision is $v_i = 5.144 \ m/s$

The velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball) just after the collision is $v_f = - 1.129 \ m/s$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy;

$m__{ball}} gh = \frac{1}{2}m__{ball}}v_i^2\\\\2* m__{ball}} gh = m__{ball}}v_i^2\\\\v_i^2 = \frac{2*m_{ball}gh}{m_{ball}}\\\\v_i^2 = 2gh\\\\v_i = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v_i = \sqrt{2*9.8*1.35}\\\\$
