Why is the warm air rising while the cold air is sinking

Cold air is denser and heavier, whereas warm air has less density and is lighter. heavier mediums sink, and lighter mediums float.

Because cold air tends to more dense, and it's therefore heavier, and it sinks.
Hot air though is hot with no density so it's light and rises.

Two forces, F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec and F⃗ 2F→2F_2_vec, act at a point. F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec has a magnitude of 9.20 NN and is directed at an a

Answer:

The x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

Explanation:

To obtain the x component of the resultant force, first we have to know the x components of the other forces. To do this, we just have to do some trigonometry:

|F_{1x}|=|F_1|\cos\theta_1=9.20N\cos62.0\°=4.31N \\|F_{2x}|=|F_2|\cos\theta_2=5.00N\cos53.6\°=2.96N

Since both vectors are in the left side of the y-axis, they have a negative x component. So:

F_{1x}=-4.31N;\\F_{2x}=-2.96N

Finally, we sum both components to obtain the component of the resultant force:

F_{Rx}=-4.31N-2.96N=-7.27N

In words, the x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation. 2-3 sentence
Anarel [89]

Answer:

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the  electric current in the  loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.

How do I calculate the tension in the horizontal string?
matrenka [14]

ANSWER

T₂ = 10.19N

EXPLANATION

Given:

• The mass of the ball, m = 1.8kg

First, we draw the forces acting on the ball, adding the vertical and horizontal components of each one,

In this position, the ball is at rest, so, by Newton's second law of motion, for each direction we have,

\begin{gathered} T_{1y}-F_g=0_{}_{}_{} \\ T_2-T_{1x}=0 \end{gathered}

The components of the tension of the first string can be found considering that they form a right triangle, where the vector of the tension is the hypotenuse,

\begin{gathered} T_{1y}=T_1\cdot\cos 30\degree \\ T_{1x}=T_1\cdot\sin 30\degree \end{gathered}

We have to find the tension in the horizontal string, T₂, but first, we have to find the tension 1 using the first equation,

T_1\cos 30\degree-m\cdot g=0

Solve for T₁,

T_1=\frac{m\cdot g}{\cos30\degree}=\frac{1.8kg\cdot9.8m/s^2}{\cos 30\degree}\approx20.37N

Now, we use the second equation to find the tension in the horizontal string,

T_2-T_1\sin 30\degree=0

Solve for T₂,

T_2=T_1\sin 30\degree=20.37N\cdot\sin 30\degree\approx10.19N

Hence, the tension in the horizontal string is 10.19N, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

t=67.7s

Explanation:

From this question we know that:

Vo = 6m/s

a = 1.8 m/s2

D = 1500m

And we also know that:

X=V_{o}*t + \frac{a*t^{2}}{2}   Replacing the known values:

1500=6t+0.9*t^{2}    Solving for t we get 2 possible answers:

t1 = -44.3s   and t2 = 67.7s    Since negative time represents an instant before the beginning of the movement, t1 is discarded. So, the final answer is:

t = 67.7s

A concave mirror has a focal length of 13.5 cm. This mirror forms an image located 37.5 cm in front of the mirror. Find the magn
77julia77 [94]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the concave mirror, f = -13.5 cm

Image distance, v = -37.5 cm (in front of mirror)

Let u is the object distance. It can be calculated using the mirror's formula as :

\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{(-13.5)}-\dfrac{1}{(-37.5)}

u = -21.09 cm

The magnification of the mirror is given by :

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-37.5)}{(-21.09)}

m = -1.77

So, the magnification produced by the mirror is (-1.77). Hence, this is the required solution.
