Can solids undergo convection

1 answer:

zysi [14]3 years ago

5 0

No because solids can't transmit heat by convection, and convection only works because of hotter and quicker moving molecules have a lower density so they rise to the surface. But in a solid, the molecules can't move relative to each other. They only vibrate :)

The oxygen consumption (in milliliter per pound per minute) for a person walking at x mph is approximated by the function f(x)=\

Oliga [24]

Answer: Speed = 5.6 mph

Oxygen consumption = 71.6 mL/lb/min

Step-by-step explanation: For the oxygen consumption to be the same, functions must be equal:

f(x) = g(x)

$\frac{5}{3}.x^{2} + \frac{5}{3}.x+10=11x+10$

Resolving:

$\frac{5}{3}.x^{2} + \frac{5}{3}.x - 11x =0$

$\frac{5}{3}x^{2} + \frac{5}{3}x - \frac{33x}{3}=0$

$\frac{5}{3}x^{2} - \frac{28x}{3}=0$

$\frac{x}{3}(5x - 28)=0$

$\frac{x}{3} = 0$

x=0

5x - 28 = 0

$x = \frac{28}{5}$

x = 5.6

<u>The speed when the oxygen consuption is the same is </u><u>5.6 mph</u><u>.</u>

For the level of oxygen consumption:

f(5.6) = g(5.6)

g(5.6) = 11*5.6 + 10

g(5.6) = 71.6

<u>The level of oxygen consumption is </u><u>71.6 mL/lb/min</u>
