Answer and Explanation:

Convection happens when particles with a great deal of warmth vitality in a fluid or gas move and replace particles with less warmth vitality.

Lighter (less thick), warm material ascents while heavier (progressively thick) cool material sinks. It is this development that makes course examples known as convection flows in the environment, in water, and in the mantle of Earth.

Huge amount of pressure and heat inside the earth causes the hot magma to stream in convection ebbs and flows. These flows cause the development of the structural plates that make up the world's outside.

Plates at our planet's surface move in view of the extreme warmth in the Earth's center that causes liquid shake in the mantle layer to move.
It moves in an example considered a convection cell that structures when warm material ascents, cools, and in the long run sink down. As the chilled material sinks off, it is warmed and rises once more.

Work is done when spring is extended or compressed. Elastic potential energy is stored in the spring. Provided inelastic deformation has not happened, the work done is equal to the elastic potential energy stored.

In half wave rectifier circuit the diode and load resistance are connected in ...to ac power source

Fudgin [204]

Working of a Half wave rectifier
The diode is connected in series with the secondary of the transformer and the load resistance RL. The primary of the transformer is being connected to the ac supply mains. The ac voltage across the secondary winding changes polarities after every half cycle of the input wave.

A. A light wave moves through glass (n=1.5) at an angle of 25°. What angle will it have when it moves from the glass into air (n

torisob [31]

PART A)

By Snell's law we know that

$n_1sin i = n_2 sin r$

here we know that

$n_1 = 1.5$

$i = 25 degree$

$n_2 = 1$

now from above equation we have

$1.5 sin25 = 1 sin r$

$r = 39.3 degree$

so it will refract by angle 39.3 degree

PART B)

Here as we can see that image formed on the other side of lens

So it is a real and inverted image

Also we can see that size of image is lesser than the size of object here

Here we can use concave mirror to form same type of real and inverted image

PART C)

As per the mirror formula we know that

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{20}$

$d_i = 30 cm$

so image will form at 30 cm from mirror

it is virtual image and smaller in size

An open cart is rolling to the left on a horizontal surface. A package slides down a chute and lands in the cart. Which quantity

Marat540 [252]

Answer: the horizontal component of total momentum

Explanation:

Since the open cart is rolling to the left on the horizontal surface, the quantity that has the same value just before and just after the package lands in the cart is the horizontal component of total momentum.

Momentum, is the product of the mass of a particle and the velocity of the particle. The change of momentum depends on the force which acts on it. The addition of the the individual momenta is the total momentum.
