The situation (heat going through the ceiling) describes
conduction ... heat going from one place to another by
soaking through some material.
A). This is the one. Heat goes from from the marshmallow
to your hand by soaking through the wire. This is conduction too.
B). No. The heat in the room goes from the floor to the ceiling
because the warm air rises and carries it there. This is convection.
C). No. There's nothing for the heat to soak through between
the sun and the roof, and nothing that can move from the sun
to the roof and bring the heat with it. This is radiation.
D). No. Cold water sinks from the surface to the bottom because
warm water rose from the bottom to the surface, taking heat with it.
This is convection.
Answer:
W = F * s
Work done equals applied force * distance traveled
Apparent weight = M g (1 - sin θ) since some of applied force will lighten sled
μ = coefficient of kinetic friction
F cos θ = force applied to motion of sled
s = distance traveled
[μ M g (1 - sin θ)] cos θ * s = work done in moving sled
Note that F = μ M g if applied force is in the horizontal direction
Answer:
No
Explanation:
The rate at which solids expand when heated depends on the substance. Metals tend to have higher rates of expansion (per degree change in temperature) than non-metal solids, but there is variation even among metals. A table of expansion coefficients can be found here or here.
