Answer:

B. Warmed air rises away from the surface.

Explanation:

It can be said that the convection cycle responsible for the dynamics of the lithospheric plates occurs not only in the nucleus, but also in the mantle and is transferred as a result transfers determined on the Earth's surface.

In this sense, we know that when the presence of a hot fluid occurs, the substances swell, which results in a reduction in density and then, this increases, since it is less dense than the medium where it is inserted. Thus, convection currents result from the heat flow that causes the hotter material, therefore less dense, to be propelled to the surface.

In summary, we can say that the normal convection cycle occurs when a hot fluid expands, it reduces density and rises because it is less dense than the surrounding environment. Convection currents are the result of the heat flow that makes the hotter material less dense and ascends the surface. This phenomenon occurs in the nucleus and in the mantle, and as a result it transfers certain heat from the interior to the Earth's surface.

[A] Write an expression for the equivalent resistance of three resistors connected in parallel.[ no derivation needed]

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1) R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) 0.5 A

3) 3.6 V

Explanation:

1) We can see that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.

Formula for sum of parallel resistors; 1/Rt = 1/R2 + 1/R3

Making Rt the subject gives;

Rt = (R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3)

Now, Resistor R1 is in series with this sum of R2 and R3. Thus;

Total resistance of circuit = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) R_total = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

We are given;

R1 = 7.2 Ω

R2 = 8 Ω

R3 = 12 Ω

R_total = 7.2 + ((8 × 12)/(8 + 12))

R_total = 7.2 + 4.8

R_total = 12 Ω

Formula for current is;

I = V/R

I = 6/12

I = 0.5 A

3) since current through the circuit is 0.5 and R1 is 7.2 Ω.

Thus, potential difference through R1 is;

V = IR = 0.5 × 7.2 = 3.6 V

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: $x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m$ .

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

What is mass times acceleration?

frozen [14]

Answer:

Force

Explanation:

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.

Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/ $s^{2}$ .

When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.

i.e F = m × a

where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.
