<h3>Answer;</h3>

In a freshwater lake
In the atmosphere
In Earth's mantle

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Convection currents are types that cause the process of convection, which the transfer of heat energy that occurs in fluids.
Convection currents are circular patterns that occurs in fluids such that the less dense warm fluids rises up while denser cold fluids sinks, it is this movement of less dense warm fluid and denser cold fluids that creates circular patterns that causes the process of convection to take place.
Convection currents may occur in the atmosphere where warm air rises while cold denser air sinks or moves towards the bottom, it may also occur in the mantle of the Earth and water or water bodies such as lakes.

The earth has four layers; the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The Earth’s magnetic field is the combination from the convection it receives from the outer core and the Coriolis Effect.

Two ships of equal mass are 110 m apart. What is the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the othe

dusya [7]

Answer:

Acceleration of the ship, $a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both ships, $m=39000\ metric\ tons=39\times 10^6\ kg$

Distance between two ships, d = 110 m

The gravitational force between two ships is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m^2}{d^2}$

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times \dfrac{(39\times 10^6\ kg)^2}{(110\ m)^2}$

F = 8.38 N

Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{8.38\ N}{39\times 10^6\ kg}$

$a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is $2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Symbolic representations are mental pictures that have no direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Instead, these mental pictures are connected by themes that are meaningful to you. Anytime you think of words and descriptions for one main concept, you're thinking symbolically. Analogical representations are mental pictures that have a direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Do cows have their ears on the top or side of their heads? Rather than thinking symbolically about a cow and his ears (tiny, smelly, leather), analogical representations of the cow's ears involve thinking of an actual cow in your head.

At a race car driving event, a staff member notices that the skid marks left by the race car are 9.06 m long. The very experienc

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

27.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that at a race car driving event, a staff member notices that the skid marks left by the race car are 9.06 m long. The very experienced staff member knows that the deceleration of a car when skidding is -40.52 m/s2.

Using third equation of motion,

V^2 = U^2 + 2aS

Since the car is decelerating, the final velocity V = 0

Substitute all the parameter into the equation above,

0 = U^2 - 2 * 40.52 * 9.06

U^2 = 734.22

U = $\sqrt{734.22}$

U = 27.096

U = 27.1 m/s approximately

Therefore, the staff member can estimate for the original speed of the race car to be 27.1 m/s if it came to a stop during the skid

When you let the air go out of a balloon the balloon moves or shoots like a rocket. Would this happen if there was no surroundin

Pie

Answer:

The balloon would still move like a rocket

Explanation:

The principle of work of this system is the Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action), object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this problem, we can identify the balloon as object A and the air inside the balloon as object B. As the air goes out from the balloon, the balloon exerts a force (backward) on the air, and as a result of Newton's 3rd law, the air exerts an equal and opposite force (forward) on the balloon, making it moving forward.

This mechanism is not affected by the presence or absence of surrounding air: in fact, this mechanism also works in free space, where there is no air (and in fact, rockets also moves in space using this system, despite the absence of air).

Determina el tamaño de la arista de un cubo hecho de plata, cuya masa es de 10.49 kg.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

88.2 N

Explanation:

Datos

Lcubo = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Vcubo = Vfluido desalojado= 0.1 m x 0.1 m x 0.1 m = 10-3 m

mcubo = 10 kg

dfluido = 1000 kg/m3

g = 9.8 m/s2

Sabemos que el peso aparente de un cuerpo que se sumerge en un fluido es:

Paparente=Preal−Pfluido

Teniendo en cuenta que:

Preal = mcubo⋅gPfluido=E= dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g

Como el cuerpo se sumerge completamente en el fluido, el volumen de fluido desalojado es exactamente el volumen del cubo. Por lo tanto si sustituimos los datos que nos proporcionan en el enunciado en la primera ecuación:

Paparente=mcubo⋅g−dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g ⇒Paparente=10 kg ⋅9.8 m/s2 − 1000 kg/m3 ⋅10−3 m ⋅9.8 m/s2 ⇒Paparente = 88.2 N
