What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?

Physics
1 answer:
lara31 [8.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.

Which equations could be used as is, or rearranged to calculate for frequency of a wave? Check all that apply.
amm1812
-- Equations  #2  and  #6  are both the same equation,
and are both correct.

-- If you divide each side by  'wavelength', you get Equation #4,
which is also correct.

-- If you divide each side by  'frequency', you get Equation #3,
which is also correct. 
With some work, you can rearrange this one and use it to calculate
frequency.

Summary:

-- Equations #2, #3, #4, and #6 are all correct statements,
and can be used to find frequency.

-- Equations #1 and #5 are incorrect statements.

A ball is falling at terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the ball is in equilibrium and the forces are balanced. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N.

Explanation:

This is because at terminal velocity, the ball stops accelerating and the net force on the ball is zero. For the net force to be zero, equal and opposite forces must act on the ball, so that their resultant force is zero. That is F₁ + F₂ = 0 ⇒ F₁ = -F₂

Since F₁ = 20 N, then F₂ = -F₁ = -20 N

So, if F₁ points upwards since it is positive, then F₂ points downwards since it is negative.

So, a free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N best describes the ball falling at terminal velocity.
