What does convection mean

Physics
1 answer:
Sladkaya [172]3 years ago

Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat

4. Identify Problems A student is describing a longitudinal wave in his notebook. He
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

 "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

Explanation:

If he writes down "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

That means he is describing the wavelength of a wave and not longitudinal wave. He ought to write something about " direction "

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or parallel to, the direction of propagation of the wave. While

Wavelength is the distance between the two successfully Crest or trough

A battery charger can produce 3A at 12 Volt and charges a battery fer 2 hr. Calculate work in KJ.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 259.2 KJ

Explanation:

The formula calculate work don in a circuit is given by :-

W=QV, where Q is charge and V is the potential difference.

The formula to calculate charge in circuit :-

Q=It, where I is current and t is time.

Given : Current : I=3A

Potential difference : V=12\ V

Time : t=2\ hr=2(3600)\text{ seconds}=7200\text{ seconds}

Now, Q=3(7200)=21,600\ C

Then,  W=(21600)(12)=259,200\text{ Joules}=259.2\text{ KJ}

Hence, the work done = 259.2 KJ

If a point has 40 J of energy and the electric potential is 8 V, what must be the charge?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

If a point has 40 J of energy and the electric potential is 8 V, the charge must be: A. 5 C

<u>Given the following the details;</u>

  • Energy = 40 Joules
  • Electric potential = 8 Volts

To find the quantity of charge;

Mathematically, the quantity of charge with respect to electric potential is given by the formula;

Quantity \; of \; charge = \frac{Energy}{Electric \; potential}

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

Quantity \; of \; charge = \frac{40}{8}

<em>Quantity of charge = 5 Coulombs</em>

Therefore, the quantity of charge must be <em>5 Coulombs.</em>

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 403 km above the earth’s sur
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

v_A=7667m/s\\\\v_B=7487m/s

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.

Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:

F_c=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.

Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:

\frac{GMm}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}\\ \\\implies v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So R_A=6774km=6.774*10^6m and R_B=7103km=7.103*10^6m (Since R_{earth}=6371km). Then, we get:

v_A=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{6.774*10^6m} }=7667m/s\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{7.103*10^6m} }=7487m/s

In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).
