The student quickly discovers that placing the marshmallow over the flame is more effective than heating the marshmallow on the

side of the flame. According to the information above, what type of heat transfer is present when the marshmallow is above the fire that is not present when the marshmallow is on the side of the fire

Answer:

The answer is convection.

Explanation:

There are three types of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation.

  • Conduction occurs when two objects touch each other and transfer heat.
  • Convection occurs when an object heats its surrounding fluid (like air, or water) and, since the hot fluids are less dense than the cold ones, they go up. So convection is a type of heat transfer that usually goes from down to up.
  • Radiation occurs when objects emanate heat in the form of electromagnetic waves that propagates in all directions.

So in this case, when the marshmallow is above the fire, it is exposed to convection, which does not occur when it is on the side of the fire.

What unit is used to measure the period of a wave?
mixer [17]

Answer:

D. Meters/Seconds

Explanation:

The time period of a wave is measured in seconds.

A typical wave involves both time and distance.  Consider a sound wave, which is basically a periodic modulation of the local air pressure.  We "hear" the sound because our ears respond to the variations of pressure.

The most common metric of a sound wave is frequency.  This is the rate at which the change in pressure occurs, and is measured in cycles per second, formally known as "hertz".  The period is the inverse of frequency andl has the units of seconds per cycle, commonly stated simply as seconds.

If we increase the force applied to an object, and all other factors remain the same, the amount of work will
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The question doesn't give us enough information to answer.
The answer depends on the mass of the object, how long the force
acts on the object, the OTHER forces on the object, and whether the
object is free to move.

-- If you increase the force with which you push on a brick wall,
the amount of work done remains unchanged, namely Zero.

-- If you push on a pingpong ball with a force of 1 ounce for 1 second,
the ball accelerates substantially, it moves a substantial distance, and
so the work done is substantial.

-- But if you push on a battleship, even with a much bigger force ...
let's say 1 pound ... and keep pushing for a month ... the ship accelerates
microscopically, moves a microscopic distance, and the work done by
your force is microscopic.
