Answer:
False
Explanation:
Convection currents do not produce heat. In fact, convection current are a method of transfer of heat, not of production. Convection occurs when there is a fluid which is heated from bottom, from an external source of heat (such as a pot of boiling water over a flame): the bottom part of the fluid becomes warmer, and so less dense than the colder part, therefore it starts moving up, and it is replaced by the colder parts of the fluid, which go down. Later, these colder parts become warmer, so they start going up, being replaced by new colder parts, etc... in a cycle. This is known as convection current, but it requires an external source of heat, it does not produce heat by itself.
Answer:
0m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity of the boat = 8m/s
Final velocity = 8m/s
Time taken = 4s
Unknown:
Acceleration of the boat = ?
Solution:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
It is mathematically expressed as;
A =
A is the acceleration
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
Insert the parameters and solve;
A =
= 0m/s²
Force is found by multiplying mass (kg) and acceleration (m/s^2), so the metric unit of force is kg*m/s^2 or N (newtons)
Finding acceleration= final speed-initial speed/time taken (or A=V-U\T)
Finial speed= 27.8s
Initial speed= 0s
Time taken= 5.15
So..
27.8-0/5.15= 5.40m/s (rounded to two decimal places)
