Answer:

Convection currents within Earth's mantle form as material near the core heats up. As the core heats the bottom layer of mantle material, particles move more rapidly, decreasing its density and causing it to rise. The rising material begins the convection current

Why are objects that fall near earth’s surface rarely in free fall?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Because of the presence of air resistance

Explanation:

When an object is in free fall, ideally there is only one force acting on it:

- The force of gravity, W = mg, that pushes the object downward (m= mass of the object, g = acceleration of gravity)

However, this is true only in absence of air (so, in a vacuum). When air is present, it exerts a frictional force on the object (called air resistance) with upward direction (opposite to the motion of free fall) and whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the object.

Therefore, it turns out that as the object falls, its speed increases, and therefore the air resistance acting against it increases too; as a result, the at some point the air resistance becomes equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity: when this happens, the net acceleration of the object becomes zero, and so the speed of the object does not increase anymore. This speed reached by the object is called terminal velocity.

In a natural gas power plant, natural gas is burned to heat steam, which turns a turbine. What energy conversion is happening in
Irina18 [472]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is A. Chemical energy to heat energy to kinetic energy to electrical energy.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Let's check the energy conversion given in the statement:

Chemical energy: Chemical energy is usually obtained from a natural resource combustion. For this particular case is the result of natural gas combustion.

Heat energy: Heat energy comes from chemical reactions such as natural gas combustions.

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is obtained by turbines transforming the pressurized steam on mechanical movement. Turbines are formed by a turbine that absorbs the heat energy to do mechanical work and transmit it to an output rotating shaft.

Electrical energy: Electrical energy is generated by gas turbines when the rotating output shaft is connected to an electrical generator. Electrical generators use mechanical energy to generate electrical energy by using electromagnetic induction. Electrical generators are basically formed by a rotor and a stator.

Have a nice day!

Bats have poor vision and use echo-location to find their way.The frequency produced by bats is 100kHz. If the speed of the soun
irga5000 [103]

The distance covered is 25.9 m.

<h3>How deep is the cave?</h3>

We know that the speed of sound refers to the speed with which an sound moves in an object.

Given that;

speed of sound = 345m/s

Time taken =  0.15s

We know that;

v = 2d/t

v = speed of sound

d = distance

t = time taken

vt = 2d

d = vt/2

d = 345m/s *  0.15s/2

d = 25.9 m
