While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?

1 answer:

3 0

Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Ple

alex41 [277]

Here's the part you need to know:

   (Weight of anything) =

   (the thing's mass)
times
       (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

   Weight = (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

   = 709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only 9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

   = 666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes.

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

A student pushes on a crate with a force of 100 Newtons directed to the right.

romanna [79]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Therefore 100N of force is exerted by the crate on student as a reaction to his action
