A boiling pot of water (the water travels in a current throughout the pot), a hot air balloon (hot air rises, making the balloon rise) , and cup of a steaming, hot liquid (hot air rises, creating steam) are all situations where convection occurs.

Sample Response: Convection occurs in a pot of boiling water and in a lava lamp. It also occurs in Earth’s interior and in the Sun’s interior. Convection also takes place in the atmosphere, where it drives air circulation, and in the ocean, where it is partially responsible for ocean circulation.

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend
Viefleur [7K]

a) we can answer the first part of this by recognizing the player rises 0.76m, reaches the apex of motion, and then falls back to the ground we can ask how

long it takes to fall 0.13 m from rest: dist = 1/2 gt^2 or t=sqrt[2d/g] t=0.175

s this is the time to fall from the top; it would take the same time to travel

upward the final 0.13 m, so the total time spent in the upper 0.15 m is 2x0.175

= 0.35s

b) there are a couple of ways of finding thetime it takes to travel the bottom 0.13m first way: we can use d=1/2gt^2 twice

to solve this problem the time it takes to fall the final 0.13 m is: time it

takes to fall 0.76 m - time it takes to fall 0.63 m t = sqrt[2d/g] = 0.399 s to

fall 0.76 m, and this equation yields it takes 0.359 s to fall 0.63 m, so it

takes 0.04 s to fall the final 0.13 m. The total time spent in the lower 0.13 m

is then twice this, or 0.08s

A circuit has a current of 1.2 A. If the voltage decreases to one third of its original amount while the resistance remains cons
Katen [24]
When resistance is constant, current is proportional to voltage. When 1/3 the voltage is applied, 1/3 the current will result.

(1/3)*(1.2 A) = 0.4 A

The resulting current will be 0.4 A.

A gas has an initial volume of 212 cm^3 at a temperature of 293 K and a pressure of 0.98 atm. What is the final pressure of the
MatroZZZ [7]
For this we use general equation for gases. Our variables represent:

p- pressure
v-volume
t- temperature

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

in this equation we know:
P1,V1 and T1, T2 and V2. 
We have one equation and 1 unknown variable.

P2 = T2P1V1/T1V2 = 1.1atm

When you turn on a lightbulb in a room, the entire room appears to flood with light at the same time. Your eyes cannot perceive
Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

Assuming we can turn on the lightbulb from any distance with a device. We can gradually increase the distance that separates us from lightbulb, in this way, if the speed of light is finite  we can see a temporary delay between the moment we turn on the lightbulb and the moment in which we observe its light.

If it takes 42 minutes to load 3 1/2 trucks, how many minutes will it take to load 6 1/2 trucks?
Kruka [31]
If it takes 42 minutes to load 3 1/2 trucks, then it takes 42 / 3.5 = 12 minutes to load a single truck. Multiplying the number of minutes per truck by 6.5 yields the time it will take to load. In this case 12 x 6.5 = 78 minutes would be required to load 6 1/2 trucks. The formula for the time taken is t = 12n, where t is the time in minutes and n is the number of trucks.
