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.

What is the source of geothermal energy? User: What is the source of geothermal energy?
bazaltina [42]

The answer is; C

In particular points in the earth’s surface, underground water is naturally heated to steam that can be harness for geothermal energy. The steam that ejects from the ground with high kinetic energy can be used to turn turbines that generate electricity. The underground water is usually heated by the hot rocks beneath that are subjected to the immense heat of magma or the enormous pressure of overlying crust.

At a waterpark, sleds with riders are sent along a slippery, horizontal surface by the release of a large, compressed spring. Th
steposvetlana [31]

The sleds speed when the spring returns toits uncompressed length is v = 0.03 m/s.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given,

force constant = 42 N/cm = 0.42 N/m,   mass m = 68 kg, spring x = 0.39 m

The potential energy, U, stored in the spring is

                     U = 1/2 kx^2  

                       = 1 / 2 \times 0.42 \times (0.39)^2

                       = 0.032 J

All its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy since it has a uncompressed length.

                    K = 1/2 mv^2

                     v = sqrt (2K / m)

                       = √(( 2 \times 0.032) / 68)

                    v = 0.03 m/s .

Check the correctness of formula t=2π √m/k, dimensionally​
pantera1 [17]

Hi there! Lets see!

  • m is mass, and its units are kg
  • k is the elastic constant measured in newtons per meter (N/m), or kilograms per second squared kg/s²

Therefore:

\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{[kg]}{[\dfrac{kg}{s^2}]}}  =\sqrt{\dfrac{[kg]}{[kg]}\cdot s^2} = \sqrt{[s]^2} = s

The period is given in seconds so the formula is dimensionally​ correct.

Sam is conducting an experiment in a closed room. He places two sound-generating instruments, A and B, in different places in th
diamong [38]

Answer: The correct answer is "Instrument A is placed closer to Sam than instrument B".

Explanation:

The sound can be soft or loud. Loudness depends on the amplitude of the sound wave. Higher the amplitude, more will be loudness. Lower the amplitude, lesser will be loudness.

Pitch depends on the frequency.

In the given problem, the instruments A and B generate sound waves of the same amplitude and at the same time.

Loudness depends on the sound energy produced as the energy of the sound is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. It also depends on the distance between the source and the receiver.

Sam records a louder sound from instrument A than from instrument B. It means that there is mismatch in loudness. It can happen due to the placement of the instrument A closer to Sam than instrument B.

Therefore, the correct option is "Instrument A is placed closer to Sam than instrument B".

You’ve just discovered that you are blood type O negative, highly valuable because it can be given to almost anyone in a life-th
Karolina [17]

Answer:

A) true

33) Osha data : true

34 ) False

Explanation:

A) Karl Landsteiner was the first to classify blood on the basis of modern theory .

33) OSHA ( Occupational Safety and Health Administration ) data relates to the safety measures that are taken by a unit or firm to avoid hazardous situation for their workforce.

34 ) There are as many as 150 points in an average finger prints that can be compared. Some country  like England requires 16 point identification , some like France requires 17 points identification. So The statement is wrong.
