Energy is transferred in solids by conduction, which means that?

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of energy (in this case heat) from one substance to another substance through direct contact. This definition rules out the option D which suggests that heat does not travel between objects of different temperatures.

It is also impossible for heat to be transferred from a cooler object to a hotter object (as claimed in option B) because the atoms in hotter objects are more energized than cooler objects and are hence able to pass there energy to the cooler object whose atoms in less energized or in a relaxed state if cold. This reason also rules out option A because the hotter object contains more energized particles and hence energy (heat) cannot be passed from the cooler object nor can the heat travel in both directions.

From the explanation in the previous paragraphs, it is clear that energy transfer in solids occurs when heat travels from the hotter object to the cooler object via conduction.

Explain how water circulates from deep oceans to the surface.

"These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation. In the Earth's polar regions ocean watergets very cold, forming sea ice." this is what I found...

If an exit sign is hanging from the ceiling by three chains each of which has a tension of 15N what is the weight of the sign
kvasek [131]
The weight is 45 N, because the three chains hold the sign, and each contributes 15 N.

Notice that the mass would be the weight/acceleration of gravity, m = 45/9.8 kg. But they ask the weight (force, so Newtons)

The acceleration due to the earth's gravity, in si units, is 9.8 m/s2. in the absence of air friction, a ball is dropped from re
gogolik [260]
We don't know anything about the amount of distance it travels, but that's okay. The only equation we need here is 

velocity(final) = velocity(initial) + acceleration * time
vf = vi + (a * t)

The ball is dropped from rest, so vi = 0 m/s.
We want it so that the ball hits the ground with a final velocity of 60 m/s, so vf = 60 m/s. 
We are given the acceleration due to gravity, a = 9.8 m/s^2.
We are solving for the time, t = ?.

Now we just plug in the values.
vf = vi + (a * t)
60 m/s = 0 m/s + (9.8 m/s^2)*(t)

60 = 9.8t

60 / 9.8 = t

t = 6.122 s

Hopefully this is the right answer.
