Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).
Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.
Answer:
The coin is less dense than the water thefore it can float.
Explanation:
Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. Mirrors exhibit specular reflection.
Storing music digitally requires less storage room than analog records or tapes. Digital music is easier to copy and the copies are the same as the original. The quality of the signal does not degrade over long periods of time.
Answer:
Given:
Mass of the polar bear (m) = 6.8 kg
Speed of the polar bear (v) = 5.0 m/s
To Find:
Kinetic energy of the polar bear (KE)
Explanation:
Formula:
Substituting values of m & v in the equation:
Kinetic energy of the polar bear (KE) = 23002.1 J
