Answer:
During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.
Explanation:
Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).
Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.
Answer:
It is frequently stated that the value of the acceleration due to gravity at the pole is larger than at the equator because the poles are closer to the center of the earth due to the earth's oblateness. ... The measured value is larger because the earth's density is not uniform but increases toward the center.
Answer:
40 m/s
Explanation:
given,
height of the fall, h = 82 m
time taken to fall, t = 1.3 s
rock velocity, v = ?
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
rock is released initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
using equation of motion
v² = u² + 2 a s
v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 82
v² = 1607.2
v = 40 m/s
hence, rock's velocity is equal to 40 m/s
It is powered by the Earth's rotation and the moon gives a little boost.
A textbook would hit the ground first
Factors:
-Textbook weighs most
-Pillow is flat and fluffy not very aerodynamic) also is very light
-Paper airplane will glide to the ground do to its wings and will hit the ground last
