A current in a fluid that results from convection. Within the earth, heat that is circulating from deep below the surface melts rock to form magma. This circulating heat also causes the magma to flow, which in turn can cause the tectonic plates at the earth's surface to shift. This would be an example of very slow-moving activity caused by convection currents.

A car going initially with a velocity 13.5 m/s accelerates at a rate of 1.9 m/s for 6.2 s. It then accelerates at a rate of-1.2

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

a) Maximum speed = 25.28 m/s

b) Total time = 27.27 s

c) Total distance traveled = 402.43 m

Explanation:

a) Maximum speed is obtained after the end of acceleration

v = u + at

v = 13.5 + 1.9 x 6.2 = 25.28 m/s

Maximum speed = 25.28 m/s

b) We have maximum speed = 25.28 m/s, then it decelerates 1.2 m/s² until it stops.

v = u + at

0 = 25.28 - 1.2 t

t = 21.07 s

Total time = 6.2 + 21.07 = 27.27 s

c) Distance traveled for the first 6.2 s

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 13.5 x 6.2 + 0.5 x 1.9 x 6.2² = 120.22 m

Distance traveled for the second 21.07 s

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 25.28 x 21.07 - 0.5 x 1.2 x 21.07² = 282.21 m

Total distance traveled = 120.22 + 282.21 = 402.43 m

In a 49 s interval, 595 hailstones strike a glass window of an area of 0.954 m at an angle of 25° to the window surface. Each ha

eduard

Average force on the window: 0.32 N

Explanation:

The average force exerted on the window is given by Newton's second law

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta p$ is the net change in momentum of the hailstones in a time interval of $\Delta t$

In order to find the change in momentum, we have to consider only the component of the hailstone's momentum perpendicular to the window, therefore:

$p_i =m u sin \theta$ is the initial momentum of one hailstone, with

m = 7 g = 0.007 kg is the mass

$u=4.5 m/s$ is the initial speed

$\theta=25^{\circ}$ is the angle with the window

The final momentum is

$p_f = mv sin \theta$

where

v = 4.5 m/s is the final speed (the collision is elastic so the speed is equal, while the direction changes)

$\theta=-25^{\circ}$ (after the rebound, the direction has changed)

So the change in momentum of 1 hailstone is

$\Delta p = mv sin(-25^{\circ})-mu sin(25^{\circ})=-2mu sin(25^{\circ})=-0.0266 kg m/s$

We are interested only in the magnitude, so

$\Delta p = 0.0266 kg m/s$

There are 595 hailstones hitting the window in 49 s, so the total change in momentum is

$\Delta p = 595\cdot 0.0266 = 15.8 kg m/s$

And therefore, the average force on the window is

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{15.8}{49}=0.32 N$

Deep in the interiors of the giant planets, water is still a liquid even though the temperatures are tens of thousands of degree

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

High pressure inside the giant planet

Explanation:

As we move in the interior of the giant planet, the pressure and temperature in the interior of the planet increases. Since, the giant planets have hardly any solid surface and thus they are mostly constituted of atmosphere.

Also, the gravitational forces keep even the lightest of the matter bound in it contributing to the large mass of the planet.

If we look at the order of the magnitude of the temperature of these giant planets than nothing should be able to stay in liquid form but as the depth of the planet increases with the increase in temperature, pressure also increases which keeps the particle of the matter in compressed form.

Thus even at such high order of magnitude water is still found in liquid state in the interior of the planet.
