What causes convection currents, and what do they do?

Physics
1 answer:
frez [133]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little! :)

Explain what will happen if an object has high momentum or low momentum and a force is applied?
Korvikt [17]

-- If the force is applied in the <em>same direction</em> as the object is moving, then the object's momentum in that direction will <em>increase</em>.

-- If the force is applied in the direction <em>OPPOSITE </em>to the way the object is moving, then the object's momentum will <em>decrease</em>.

-- In either case, the CHANGE in the object's momentum will be

(strength of the force) x (length of time the force is applied) .

This quantity is also called "impulse".

If it has enough kinetic energy, a molecule at the surface of the Earth can "escape the Earth's gravitation", in the sense that
user100 [1]

Answer:

K_E=mgr_E

Explanation:

By conservation of energy, the sum of the kinetic and gravitational potential energies at the surface of the Earth must be equal than their sum at infinity, so we have:

K_E+U_E=K_\infty+U_\infty

\frac{mv_E^2}{2}-\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=\frac{mv_\infty^2}{2}-\frac{GM_Em}{r_\infty}

Where G=6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2 is the gravitational constant,M_E=5.97\times10^{24}kg and r_E=6371000m are the mass and radius of the Earth, <em>m </em>is the mass of the particle, v_E its velocity at the surface of the Earth (which would be its escape velocity) and v_\infty and r_\infty are the velocities and distance at infinity, which would be null and infinity respectively, so the right hand side of our equation is 0J, which leaves us with:

\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=\frac{mv_E^2}{2}=K_E

Also, since the force the molecule experiments is the force of gravity (disregarding drag), we can write its weight in terms of Newton's Law of Gravitation:

F=mg=\frac{GM_Em}{r_E^2}

Which means that:

\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=mgr_E

So finally putting all together we can write:

K_E=\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=mgr_E

Mention a few precautions to be taken at the time of spraying the pesticides
denpristay [2]
Pesticides are nothing but strong chemicals that kill the pests.

They are harmful for human also.

While spraying, the pesticide mixes with the air and enters the farmer’s body who is spraying.

Inside the body this chemical gets mixed with the blood and affects the immune system.

As a result the farmer falls ill.

So it is important that the person who is spraying pesticide mush cover his mouth and nose to protect himself from its harmful effect.
