Answer:
False
Explanation:
Convection currents do not produce heat. In fact, convection current are a method of transfer of heat, not of production. Convection occurs when there is a fluid which is heated from bottom, from an external source of heat (such as a pot of boiling water over a flame): the bottom part of the fluid becomes warmer, and so less dense than the colder part, therefore it starts moving up, and it is replaced by the colder parts of the fluid, which go down. Later, these colder parts become warmer, so they start going up, being replaced by new colder parts, etc... in a cycle. This is known as convection current, but it requires an external source of heat, it does not produce heat by itself.
Answer:
Explanation:
Initial speed, v = 10 x 10^3 m/s
Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg
Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 x 10^6 m
Maximum from the surface of earth, h = ?
Let m = Mass of the projectile
Solution:
Potential energy at maximum height = ( Potential + Kinetic energy ) at the surface
=
=
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N
Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)
Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2
Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>
<span>In the labeled portion of the curve ,you use the heat of vaporization to calculate the heat absorbed in the 4th portion. It is indicated in the picture that it is the region where vaporization occurs, that is why you need to consider this portion to calculate.</span>
