Convection currents are driven by the buoyancy
that results from density differences.

I'd go with B. density differences but don't hold me to that :-)

Let v1, , vk be vectors, and suppose that a point mass of m1, , mk is located at the tip of each vector. The center of mass for

g100num [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Center of mass is give as

Xcm = (Σmi•xi) / M

Where i= 1,2,3,4.....

M = m1+m2+m3 +....

x is the position of the mass (x, y)

Now,

Given that,

u1 = (−1, 0, 2) (mass 3 kg),

m1 = 3kg and it position x1 = (-1,0,2)

u2 = (2, 1, −3) (mass 1 kg),

m2 = 1kg and it position x2 = (2,1,-3)

u3 = (0, 4, 3) (mass 2 kg),

m3 = 2kg and it position x3 = (0,4,3)

u4 = (5, 2, 0) (mass 5 kg)

m4 = 5kg and it position x4 = (5,2,0)

Now, applying center of mass formula

Xcm = (Σmi•xi) / M

Xcm = (m1•x1+m2•x2+m3•x3+m4•x4) / (m1+m2+m3+m4)

Xcm = [3(-1, 0, 2) +1(2, 1, -3)+2(0, 4, 3)+ 5(5, 2, 0)]/(3 + 1 + 2 + 5)

Xcm = [(-3, 0, 6)+(2, 1, -3)+(0, 8, 6)+(25, 10, 0)] / 11

Xcm = (-3+2+0+25, 0+1+8+10, 6-3+6+0) / 11

Xcm = (24, 19, 9) / 11

Xcm = (2.2, 1.7, 0.8) m

This is the required center of mass

determine the maximum angle theta for which the light rays incident on the end of the optical fiber of radius 1 mm are subhect t

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the critical angle be C .

sinC = 1 / μ where μ is index of refraction .

sinC = 1 /1.2

= .833

C = 56°

Then angle of refraction r = 90 - 56 = 34 ( see the image in attached file )

sin i / sinr = 1.2 , i is angle of incidence

sini = 1.2 x sinr = 1.2 x sin 34 = .67

i = 42°.

An object glides on a horizontal tabletop with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5. If its initial velocity is 4.3 m/s, how

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.87 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the object, u = 4.3 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between horizontal tabletop and the object is 0.5

We need to find the time taken by the object for the object to come to rest i.e. final velocity will be 0.

Using first equation of motion to find it as :

$v=u+at$

a is the acceleration, here, $a=\mu g$

$0=u+\mu gt$

$t=\dfrac{u}{\mu g}\\\\t=\dfrac{4.3}{0.5\times 9.8}\\\\t=0.87\ s$

So, the time taken by the object to come at rest is 0.87 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
