The correct answer is by convection.

In fact, in a fluid (like the air in the room full of fire) the warmer parts of the fluid move upward, replacing the colder parts which go down. For this very same reason, the fire spreads moving toward the upper floors of the bulding.

A police car is traveling north on a straight road at a constant 16.0 m/s. An SUV traveling north at 30.0 m/s passes the police
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

It will take 15.55s for the police car to pass the SUV

Explanation:

We first have to establish that both the police car and the SUV will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. The police car is moving at constant velocity and the SUV is experiencing a deceleration. Thus we will use two distance fromulas (for constant and accelerated motions) with the same variable for t and x:

1. x=x_{0}+vt

2. x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2}

Since both cars will travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

vt = v_{0}t+\frac{at^2}{2}\\\\   16\frac{m}{s}t =30\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{1.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}

We simplify the fraction present and rearrange for our formula so that it equals 0:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}-14\frac{m}{s}t=0 \\\\ t(0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s})=0

In the very last step we factored a common factor t. There is two possible solutions to the equation at t=0 and:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s}=0 \\\\  0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t =14\frac{m}{s} \\\\ t =\frac{14\frac{m}{s}}{0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=15.56s

What this means is that during the displacement of the police car and SUV, there will be two moments in time where they will be next to each other; at t=0 s (when the SUV passed the police car) and t=15.56s(when the police car catches up to the SUV)

A ray is incident on a film of thickness t and the index of refraction n=1.6 at an angle θ = 35 degrees. Find the angle of refra
lidiya [134]

Answer

Given,

refractive index of film, n = 1.6

refractive index of air, n' = 1

angle of incidence, i = 35°

angle of refraction, r = ?

Using Snell's law

n' sin i = n sin r

1 x sin 35° = 1.6 x sin  r

 r = 21°

Angle of refraction is equal to 21°.

Now,

distance at which refractive angle comes out

d = 2.5 mm

α be the angle with horizontal surface and incident ray.

α = 90°-21° = 69°

t be the thickness of the film.

So,

tan \alpha = \dfrac{t}{d/2}

tan 61^0 = \dfrac{t}{2.5/2}

t = 2.26 mm

Hence, the thickness of the film is equal to 2.26 mm.

A projectile is shot straight up from the earth's surface at a speed of 10,000 km/hr. how high does it go?
mezya [45]
Naturally we assume that 10000 km/hr is initial velocity (same as being shot from a cannon), and no air resistance. With so high a velocity, the effect of diminishing gravity with increasing radius must be taken into account, so you use an energy solution. M is earth mass, r is earth radius. 
KE/m = (9000000/3600)^2/2 = 3858025 J/kg 
ΔPE/m = (PE(at height) - PE(at surface))/m = -GM/(r+h) + GM/r 
KE/m = ΔPE/m 
KE/m - GM/r = -GM/(r+h)
h = -GM / (KE/m - GM/r) - r = 335665.44 m 
(Using G = 6.673E-11 Nm^2/kg^2, M = 5.9742E24 kg, r = 6378100 m)
