Answer:

b)

Explanation:

By convention, the electric field lines (which are tangent to the direction of the electric field at a given point) always begin at positive charges, and finish at negative charges.

This is a consequence of the convention that states that the electric field has the direction of the trajectory of a positive test charge when released from rest in an electric field.

(As the positive charge would move away from positive charges and would  be attracted by negative ones).

So, the combination of answers that is true is b) (positive, negative, positive).

during convection, hot material _____ (expands & sinks, cools & rises, expands & rises, deflates & rises) then m
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.

Explanation:

Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).

Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.

The temperature at a point (x, y) on a flat metal plate is given by T(x, y) = 54/(7 + x2 + y2), where T is measured in °C and x,
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

dt/dx = -0.373702

dt/dy =  -1.121107

Explanation:

Given data

T(x, y) = 54/(7 + x² + y²)

to find out

rate of change of temperature with respect to distance

solution

we know function

T(x, y) = 54 /( 7 + x² + y²)

so derivative it x and y direction i.e

dt/dx = -54× 2x / (7 +x² + y²)²    .........................1

dt/dy = -54× 2y / (7 + x² + y²)²      .........................2

now put the value point (1,3) as x = 1 and y = 3 in equation 1 and 2

dt/dx = -54× 2(1) / (7 +(1)² + (3)²)²  

dt/dx = -0.373702

and

dt/dy =  -54× 2(3) / (7 + (1)² + (3)²)²

dt/dy =  -1.121107

1. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his<br>acceleration?​
Lapatulllka [165]

The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.

Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.

Acceleration = \frac{Change in velocity}{Time taken}

Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².

So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

What changes must be done to the wire to increase its conductance.​
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

- Decreasing the resistance

- Using a shorter length

- Using a smaller area wire

Explanation:

Formula for conductance in wires is;

G = 1/R

Where;

G is conductance

R is resistance

This means that increasing the resistance leads to a larger denominator and thus a smaller conductance but to decrease the denominator means larger conductance.

Thus, to increase the conductance, we have to decrease the resistance.

Resistance here has a formula of;

R = ρL/A

Where;

ρ is resistivity

L is length of wire

A is area

Thus, to decrease the resistance, we will have to use a shorter length and smaller area of wire.
