The warm air rises, because it has become less dense as a result of increase in temperature from heating. Since it is heated, it expands and becomes less dense and such it rises.

The cold air, as result of decrease in temperature contracts, and becomes denser. The cold air is denser than the warm air. The cold air, being the denser sinks. So the cold air sinks because it is denser and heavier than warm air.

Gelneren [198K]
Hello,

The answer should be option D "specific heat".

Reason:

Specific heat is what tells the person how my heat and or pressure is required to raised the objects temperature. Its not option A convection because I'm convection is mainly used as like the ozone layer and the suns rays. Its not option B radiation because radiation doesn't tell the person what temperature it needs in order for it to rise its more like its already rises and hot. Its also not option C because conduction is the process of a object heating another object therefore the answer is option D.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

sesenic [268]

Answer: 9.98 *10^-19 J

Explanation: In order to explain this probelm we have to consider the balance enegy for photoelectric effect.

h*f-W=Ek where h is the Planck constant and W the work function and Ek the kinetic energy. f is the frequency of light.

W=h*f-Ek=6.62*10^-34*2.4*10^15-5.9*10^-19=9.98*10^-19J
