Convection causes the temperature of the air to vary from cool-hot. this variation between the hot air on the surface of the road and the cold air that is close above it creates a gradient located in the refractive index of air and you see what we call a mirage! hope this helps!.

A turntable must spin at 33.4 rpm (3.50 rad/s) to play an old-fashioned vinyl record. how much torque must the motor deliver if
Westkost [7]
In order to compute the torque required, we may apply Newton's second law for circular motion:
Torque = moment of inertia * angular acceleration

For this, we require the angular acceleration, α. We may calculate this using:
α = Δω/Δt
The time taken to achieve rotational speed may be calculated using:
time = 1 revolution * 2π radians per revolution / 3.5 radians per second
time = 1.80 seconds

α = (3.5 - 0) / 1.8
α = 1.94 rad/s²

The moment of inertia of a thin disc is given by:
I = MR²/2
I = (0.21*0.1525²)/2
I = 0.002

τ = 1.94 * 0.002
τ = 0.004

The torque is 0.004

What conversion takes place in a generator?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

B. An electric current into a magnetic field

Explanation:

The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity produced by most generators is in the form of alternating current.
