The ceiling if there is already a hot air vent on the floor blowing heat upwards the rest of the heat will follow the breeze

Answer:

near the ceiling

Explanation:

Air when heated expands, this means that that the density of air decreases. When the density decreases it rises up. Things of lesser density rise up. This could be understood by considering the case of water. Wood floats because it has less density when compared with water.

In this case all the hot air being pumped in the room will get accumulated at the top of the room, the hot air will not stay at the bottom. This means that the hottest part will be near the ceiling.

Is there a pattern to the volcano distribution around the plant?
alexira [117]
Hi there!

Typically volcanoes are found alongside tectonic plate boundaries and in that sense could be considered a pattern. One of the most famous is 'The Ring of Fire' which is a ring of volcanoes in the pacific ocean along the pacific plate boundary.

Alice's friends Bob and Charlie are having a race to a distant star 10 light years away. Alice is the race official who stays on
hodyreva [135]

Solution :

The distance between the starting point and the end point, L_0 = 10 light years

But due to the relativistic motion of Bob and Charlie, the distance will be reduced following the Lorentz contraction. The contracted length will be different since they are moving with different speeds.

For Bob,

Speed of Bob's rocket with respect to Alice, L_b = 0.7  \ c

So the distance appeared to Bob due to the length contraction,

$L_b=L_0\sqrt{1-\frac{V_b^2}{c^2}$

$L_b=10\times \sqrt{1-0.49} \ Ly$

    $=7.1 \ Ly$

Therefore, the time required to finish the race by Bob is

$t_b = \frac{L_b}{V_b}$

  $=\frac{7.1 \ c}{0.7 \ c}$

  = 10.143 year

For Charlie,

Speed of Charlie's rocket with respect to Alice, L_c = 0.866 \ c

So the distance appeared to Charlie due to the length contraction,

$L_b=L_0\sqrt{1-\frac{V_c^2}{c^2}$

$L_b=10\times \sqrt{1-0.75} \ Ly$

    $=5 \ Ly$

The time required to finish the race by Charlie is

$t_b = \frac{L_c}{V_c}$

  $=\frac{5 \ c}{0.866 \ c}$

  = 5.77 year

The World-War II battleship U.S.S Massachusetts used 16-inch guns whose barrel lengths were 15 m long. The shells each of mass 1
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is 23437500 newtons.

Explanation:

Let suppose that shells are not experiencing any effect from non-conservative forces (i.e. friction, air viscosity) and changes in gravitational potential energy are negligible. The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel can be estimated by Work-Energy Theorem, represented by the following formula:

F\cdot \Delta s = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}) (1)

Where:

F - Explosive force, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Barrel length, measured in meters.

m - Mass of the shell, measured in kilograms.

v_{o}, v_{f} - Initial and final speeds of the shell, measured in meters per second.

If we know that m = 1250\,kg, v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{f} = 750\,\frac{m}{s} and \Delta s = 15\,m, then the explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is:

F = \frac{m\cdot (v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2})}{2\cdot \Delta s}

F = \frac{(1250\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(750\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]}{2\cdot (15\,m)}

F = 23437500\,N

The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is 23437500 newtons.
