Yami pours powdered cocoa mix into milk and stirs it. Then she microwaves the mixture for three minutes. When she takes the cup

out, the handle is very warm. Steam rises from the cup, so she blows it before taking a sip. In which part of this scenario can convection be best observed?

Answer: C

rising steam from the cup of cocoa

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a fluid is heated then then hot liquid (less dense) rises and cool liquid (more dense) sinks at the bottom and this process is known as convection.

For example, when cocoa mix is poured into milk and heated in an oven then molecules of milk and cocoa inter change their position due to heating and cocoa mixes into the milk.

And steam (less dense) rises at the top and cool cocoa (more dense) sinks at the bottom.

Thus, we can conclude that rising steam from the cup of cocoa is a part of this scenario in which convection can be best observed.

Which of the following is the equation for calculating daily caloric needs? A. BMR calories + Digestion calories B. BMR calories
labwork [276]

Explanation:

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows: If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375.

HELP DUE TONIGHT<br><br> What is friction? How does friction affect the motion of an object?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Friction always acts in the direction opposing motion. This means if friction is present, it counteracts and cancels some of the force causing the motion (if the object is being accelerated).

Explanation:

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r
Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.

A boat race runs along a triangular course marked by buoys A, B, and C. The race starts with the boats headed west for 3700 mete
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The  last two bearings are

49.50° and 104.02°

Explanation:

Applying the Law of cosine (refer to the figure attached):

we have

x² = y² + z² - 2yz × cosX

here,

x, y and z represents the lengths of sides opposite to the angels X,Y and Z.

Thus we have,

cos X=\frac{x^2-y^2-z^2}{-2yz}

or

cos X=\frac{y^2 + z^2-x^2}{2yz}

substituting the values in the equation we get,

cos X=\frac{2900^2 + 3700^2-1700^2}{2\times 2900\times 3700}

or

cos X=0.8951

or

X = 26.47°

similarly,

cos Y=\frac{1700^2 + 3700^2-2900^2}{2\times 1700\times 3700}

or

cos Y=0.649

or

Y = 49.50°

Consequently, the angel Z = 180° - 49.50 - 26.47 = 104.02°

The bearing of 2 last legs of race are angels Y and Z.

A car accelerates uniformly from +10.0 m/s to +40.0 m/s over a distance of 125 m. How long did it take to go that distance? Show
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

v^2-u^2=2as\\40^2-10^2=2a*125\\1600-100=250a\\a=\frac{1500}{250}=6~m/s^2\\v=u+at\\40=10+6t\\6t=30\\ t=\frac{30}{6}=5 ~s
