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 computer monitor uses 200 W of power. How much energy does it use in 10 seconds?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is 0.556 Watts</u>

Explanation:

The computer monitor uses 200 Watts of power in an hour, that is the standard measure.

If we want to know, how much energy the computer monitor uses in one second, we will have to divide both sides of the equation into 3,600.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds (60 x 60)

Energy per second = 200/3600

Energy per second = 0.0556 Watts

Therefore to calculate how much energy is used in 10 seconds, we do this:

Energy per second x 10

<u>0.0556 x 10 = 0.556 Watts</u>

<u>The computer monitor uses 0.556 Watts in 10 seconds</u>

A ball is rolling along at speed v without slipping on a horizontal surface when it comes to a hill that rises at a constant ang
MissTica

Answer:

The ball has an initial linear kinetic energy and initial rotational kinetic energy which can both be converted into gravitational potential energy. Therefore the hill with friction will let the ball reach higher.

Explanation:

The ball has an initial linear kinetic energy and initial rotational kinetic energy which can both be converted into gravitational potential energy. Therefore the hill with friction will let the ball reach higher.

This is because:

If we consider the ball initially at rest on a frictionless surface and a force is exerted through the centre of mass of the ball, it will slide across the surface with no rotation, and thus, there will only be translational motion.

Now, if there is friction and force is again applied to the stationary ball, the frictional force will act in the opposite direction to the force but at the edge of the ball that rests on the ground. This friction generates a torque on the ball which starts the rotation.

Therefore, static friction is infact necessary for a ball to begin rolling.

Now, from the top of the ball, it will move at a speed 2v, while the centre of mass of the ball will move at a speed v and lastly, the bottom edge of the ball will instantaneously be at rest. So as the edge touching the ground is stationary, it experiences no friction.

So friction is necessary for a ball to start rolling but once the rolling condition has been met the ball experiences no friction.

Diferencia entre transferencia y transformación de energía. Da ejemplos de cada caso.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

La transformación de energía es un proceso en el que la energía se intercambia entre un sistema y el medio ambiente en al menos dos formas de energía diferentes entre sí. Por ejemplo, un panel solar convierte la energía lumínica en energía eléctrica.

En cambio, en la transferencia de energía, esta no cambia su forma sino que es transmitida de un cuerpo a otro. El ejemplo más claro es el de la fogata, que transmite calor al medio ambiente a través de radiación.
