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.

masha68 [24]

To solve this problem we must rely on the equations of the simple harmonic movement that define the period as a function of length and gravity as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Where

l = Length

g = Gravity

Re-arrange to find L,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

Our values are given as

g = 9.81m/s

T = 10.1s

Replacing,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

L = (9.81) (\frac{10.1}{2\pi})^2

L = 25.348m

Therefore the height would be 25.348m

The force of replusion between two like charged particles will increase if​
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The distance of separation is decreased

Explanation:

From Cuolomb's law, we know that the strength of charge is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the charges. To mean that increasing the distance let's say from 2m to 3 m would mean initial strength getting form 1/4 to 1/9 which is a decrease. The vice versa is true hence the force of repulsion can increase only when we decrease the distance of separation.
