How do convection currents form in air?

Physics
1 answer:
Kisachek [45]3 years ago

Convection currents form when you have a liquid or gas have regions with a difference in temperature and there is a heat source feeding the system. Colder areas are going to want to fall and hotter regions want to rise.

A mechanical wave starts when matter is disturbed by a source of ______.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

MATERIAL MEDIUM

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. The two forms of wave are the mechanical wave and the electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical wave is a wave with requires MATERIAL MEDIUM for its propagation. This means that before wave can be propagated at times, material medium is needed e.g a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a mechanical device that generates waves using an instrument called stroboscope attached to it. This kind of wave requires an external source before it can propagate compared to electromagnetic waves that does not require material medium for its propagation.

How can an experiment support or fail to support a hypothesis?
Alisiya [41]

a hypothesis is given to explain a phenomena which has not been explained earlier. it can proved  by an experiment if that experiment gets the other results regarding that particular phenomena in agreement with that being predicted by the hypothesis and if  result doesnt match the prediction then the hypothesis is again  totally discarded at times.

Consider the image above. Vi = the initial velocity and Vf = the final velocity. Is there acceleration? Explain your answer.
Law Incorporation [45]
D) Yes. Even though the initial and final velocities are the same, there is a change in direction for the ball.
Acceleration (a) = change in velocity (v) over time (t), let's consider moving right is (+) and moving left is (-)
a = (vf - vi)/t = (-5 - +5)/t
a = (-10)/t
So even though the number looks the same from vi to vf, there actually is a negative acceleration of 10m/s/s.

Sand is poured at a constant rate of 75.5 g/s into a 0.540-kg bucket resting on a scale. If sand is landing in the bucket with a
worty [1.4K]

Answer:10.961 N

Explanation:

Given

mass flow rate in bucket is \dot{m}=75.5 g/s

mass of bucket m=0.540 kg

velocity of sand v=3.70 m/s

Force acting on bucket due to incoming of sand is given by

F=\frac{\mathrm{d} m}{\mathrm{d} t}v

F=75.5\times 10^{-3}\times 3.7=279.35\times 10^{-3} N

Now weight of sand and bucket when 0.55 kg sand is Present in bucket

W_1=(0.54+0.55)\times 9.8

W_1=1.09\times 9.8=10.68 N

Total reading on scale will be addition of weight and force acting by incoming sand

Reading =10.68+0.279=10.961 N
