Answer:

The diference in density

Explanation:

astraxan [27]3 years ago

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.

A coil has N turns enclosing an area of A. In a physics laboratory experiment, the coil is rotated during the time interval Δt f
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

\phi_i = BA

Explanation:

magnetic flux is the count of magnetic field lines passing through a given loop or area

As we know that magnetic flux is given by the formula

\phi = \vec B. \vec A

here we also know that magnetic field B and plane of the coil is perpendicular in initial position

So the area vector is always perpendicular to the plane of the coil

so the angle between magnetic field and area vector is parallel to each other and this angle would be zero

so magnetic flux of the coil initially we have

\phi = BAcos0 = BA

How can a global dependence on fossil fuels have associated social costs?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Global dependence on fossil fuels has associated social costs.

Explanation:

Increased dependence on fossil fuels reduces their availability. When the demand is high and the availability is low, the price rises. Not every nation would then be able to afford buying fossil fuels at such high costs.

Developing and underdeveloped countries would then be left behind and only the wealthy nations would be able to afford fossil fuel purchase. This would be the immediate impact of global dependence on fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are mainly coal, petroleum and natural gas. Since fossil fuels are non-renewable in nature over exploitation may lead to fossil fuels getting exhausted.
