What Larry's experiment most likely demonstrate is <span>heat transfer by convection

</span>Heat transfer by convection occurs when particles of heated liquid or gases travel<span> away from the source, carrying thermal energy along. </span>Convection<span> above the flame of the lit candle occurs because the hot air from the candle expands, becomes less dense, and rises towards the palm.</span>

A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror at an angle of 30 degree state the angle of reflection?​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

30°

Explanation:

<em>The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.</em>

∠i = ∠r

so as ∠i = 30°

∠r will also be 30°

What happens when a star exhausts its core hydrogen supply?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

It becomes a giant or supergiant.

Explanation:

Once all the hydrogen supply is gone, fusion of hydrogen into helium stops. The core starts to contract and liberates energy, which heats the superior layer until it becomes hot enough to start the fusion of hydrogen into helium.

Precision measurements of the acceleration due to gravity show that the acceleration is slightly different in different location
DochEvi [55]
Gravity largely depends on the comparison of two objects; it's why you have the equation F= (GMm)/r^2. On Earth, you have different altitudes that, with the formula, will give different results for gravity because the radius is different everywhere. This difference on calculations, however, are seen to be miniscule. We know gravity as 9.81 m/s^2 but it might be different by thousandths or hundreds of thousandths of a decimal.

A car’s bumper is designed to withstand a 4.0-km/h (1.1-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of th
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

 avriage force F = 2722.5 N

Explanation:

For this problem we can use Newton's second law, to calculate the average force and acceleration we can find it by kinematics.

      vf² = v₀² - 2 ax

The final carriage speed is zero (vf = 0)

      0 = v₀² - 2ax

      a = v₀² / 2x

      a = 1.1²/(2 0.200)

      a = 3.025 m / s²

      a = 3.0 m/s²

We calculate the average force

      F = ma

      F = 900 3,025

      F = 2722.5 N
