Do you think that solids can undergo convection? EXPLAIN!

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>

A 125 W motor accelerates a block along a level, frictionless surface at an average speed of 5.0
Lelu [443]

Answer:

25N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of the motor = 125W

Average speed  = 5m/s

Unknown:

Force supplied to the motor = ?

Solution:

 Work done is the force applied to move a body through a particular distance;

         Work done  = Force x distance

Also,

        Work done  = Power x time

 

So;

             Force x distance = Power  x time

  since force is the unknown;

            Force  = \frac{Power x time}{distance}

         Speed  = \frac{distance }{time}

             Force  = \frac{Power}{speed}

Now solve;

                Force  = \frac{125}{5}    = 25N

An 80 kg astronaut has gone outside his space capsule to do some repair work. Unfortunately, he forgot to lock his safety tether
Anna [14]

Answer:

the time taken by the astronaut to reach safety = 9.8 hr

Explanation:

The equation for intensity can be written as :

I = \frac{P}{A}

where :

\frac{I}{c}= \frac{F}{A}

Replacing that into the above previous equation; we have:

\frac{P}{Ac}=\frac{F}{A}

F = \frac{P}{c}

However ; the force needed to push the astronaut is as follows:

F = ma

where ;

m = mass of the  astronaut and a = its acceleration

we as well say;

\frac{P}{c} = ma

a = \frac{P}{mc}

Replacing P with 1000 W ; m with 80 kg and 3*10^{8} \  m/s for  c

Then; a = \frac{1000 \ W}{(80)(3.0*10^8)}

a = 4.2*10^{-8} \ m/s

It is also known that the battery will run for one hour and after which the battery on the laser will run out

Then to determine the change in the position after the first hour ; we have:

\Delta x_1 = \frac{1}{2}*4.2*10^{-8} \ m/s^2 ) (1.0 \ h)^2

\Delta x_1 = \frac{1}{2}*4.2*10^{-8} \ m/s^2 ) (1.0 *3600 s)^2

= 0.27 m

Furthermore, the final velocity of the astronaut is determined as:

v_1 = at_1

where ;

v_1 = final \ velocity

replacing t_1 = 1.0 \ h and a =  4.2*10^{-8} \ m/s; Then:

v_1 = (4.2*10^8 \ m/s * 1.0 \ h * \frac{ 3600\ s}{1.0 \ h})

v_1 =  1.51 *10^{-4} \ m/s

Also; when he drifted 5.0 m away from the capsule; the distance is far short of the 5 m but he still have 9 hours left of oxygen . In addition to that, he acceleration is also zero and the final velocity remains the same, so:

To find the final distance traveled by the astronaut ;we have:

\Delta x_2 = d - \Delta x_1

where;

\Delta x_2 = the final distance

d = total distance

So;

\Delta x_2 = 5 m - 0.27 m \\ \\ \Delta x_2 = 4.73 \ m

The time taken to reach the final distance can be calculated as:

t_2 = \frac{\Delta x_2 }{v_1}

where;

t_2 = is the  time to  reach the final distance

Replacing 4.73 for {\Delta x_2 } and  1.51*10^{-4} m/s for v_1

t_2 = \frac{4.73 \ m }{1.51*10^{-4} \ m/s}

t_2 = 31500 \ s (\frac{1.0 \ h}{3600 \ s} )

t_2 = 8.8 \ h

We knew the laser was operated for 1 hour; thus the total time taken by the astronaut to  reach the final distance is the sum of the time taken to reach the final distance and the operated time of the laser.

Hence ; the time taken by the astronaut to reach safety = 9.8 hr
