<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Convection

The earth's interior heat and pressure drive a process of heat transfer in the mantle called <em><u>convection</u></em>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Convection is the process of heat transfer that occurs in fluid through convection current. This process may occur in a natural setting such as in the earth's mantle.</u></em>
<em><u>The plate tectonics in the earth surface are driven by the convection currents in the magma. The intense heat in the core of the earth causes molten rocks in the mantle to move in a pattern called convection cell that results from the cooling of the rising denser warm material which eventually sink.</u></em>
This transfer of the heat from the mantle to the surface of the earth by convection is similar to the hot water, which involves convection currents.

Explain what happens inside the radiation zone that causes the photon to take so long to exit the sun

DaniilM [7]

-A photon travels, on average, a particular distance, d, before being briefly absorbed and released by an atom, which scatters it in a new random direction.

-Given d and the speed of light, c, you can figure out the average time step and space step size (how often the photon “steps” and how far it “steps” each time).

-The size of the Sun is figured in terms of step size. Some surprisingly tricky math happens, involving “Brownian motion” and probabilities. Finally,

-The average time it would take to get to the surface of the Sun is found.

A 0.2 kg hockey park is sliding along the eyes with an initial velocity of -10 m/s when a player strikes it with his stick, caus

babunello [35]

Answer:

The impulse applied by the stick to the hockey park is approximately 7 kilogram-meters per second.

Explanation:

The Impulse Theorem states that the impulse experimented by the hockey park is equal to the vectorial change in its linear momentum, that is:

$I = m\cdot (\vec{v}_{2} - \vec{v_{1}})$ (1)

Where:

$I$ - Impulse, in kilogram-meters per second.

$m$ - Mass, in kilograms.

$\vec{v_{1}}$ - Initial velocity of the hockey park, in meters per second.

$\vec{v_{2}}$ - Final velocity of the hockey park, in meters per second.

If we know that $m = 0.2\,kg$ , $\vec{v}_{1} = -10\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{m}{s}\right]$ and $\vec {v_{2}} = 25\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]$ , then the impulse applied by the stick to the park is approximately:
