No. Solids can't undergo convection,

Explanation:

Convection is heat removal by movement hot matter as exposed to cold matter bure to density differences in the expression of the gravity field. or heat transfer within moving currents.Convection works because hotter quicker moving molecules have a lower frequency and consequently rise to the surface. In a solid the molecules can't move corresponding to each other they can only vibrate

<span>No. Solids can't undergo convection, the reason is that convection works because moving molecules which are hotter and faster have a lower density and therefore rise to the surface. With a solid now, the molecules don't move they can only vibrate.

Therefore solids conduct.</span>

Answer:

x component is 60.60 N and y component is 35 N ⇒ answer A

Explanation:

A boy is pulling a wagon with a force of 70.0 N directed at an angle

of 30 degrees above the horizontal then,

$F_{x}$ is the horizontal component of the force in the direction

of positive part of x-axis

$F_{y}$ is the vertical component of the force force in the direction

of positive part of y-axis

The x component of the force $F_{x}$ is the force multiplied by

cos(30)°

The y component of the force $F_{y}$ is the force multiplied by

sin(30)°

→ The x component $F_{x}$ = F cos(30)

→ The x component $F_{x}$ = 70 cos(30) = 60.60 N

→ The y component $F_{y}$ = F sin(30)

→ The y component $F_{y}$ = 70 sin(3) = 35 N

<em>x component is 60.60 N and y component is 35 N</em>

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full. What is the depth of the tank if it is 0.500-m wide by 0.900

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

0.16 m

Explanation:

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full, and the density of gasoline is 6.8 × 10² kg/m³. We can find the volume occupied by the gasoline (volume of the tank).

50.0 kg × (1 m³/6.8 × 10² kg) = 0.074 m³

The volume of the rectangular tank is:

volume = width × length × depth

depth = volume / width × length

depth = 0.074 m³ / 0.500 m × 0.900 m

depth = 0.16 m
