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! :)

The figure above shows a rod that is fixed to a horizontal surface at pivot P The rod is initially rotating
Lisa [10]

The angular speed is decreasing and direction of rotation clockwise of the rod immediately after time t.

<h3></h3><h3>What is angular speed ?</h3>

The rate of change of angular displacement is defined as angular speed.  It is stated as follows:

ω = θ t

Where,

θ is the angle of rotation,

t is the time

ω is the angular velocity

The torque is found as;l

\rm  T = F \times r

If the force is acting on the rod  from the three point is the same, the value of the torque is depends upon the radius or the perpendicular distance.

The perpendicular distance of the right force is grater. Hence, the force acting on the right side is more, and the rod will rotate clockwise.

Both the forces are acting downwards. Thus, the resultant force is the less due to which the speed is increasing.

Hence, the angular speed is decreasing and direction of rotation clockwise of the rod immediately after time t.

To learn more about the angular speed, refer to the link;

(a) The stick is supported by a sharp point at the middle. On the left side, a weight of 100 g is suspended at 40 cm from the mi
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

20cm

Explanation:

Hello!

remember that the condition for a body to be at rest is that the sum of its moments and its forces be zero,

To solve this problem you must draw the free body diagram of the stick (attached image) and sum up moments at point 0 (where the sharp is located), which results in the following equation

(100g)(40cm)=x(200g)

X=\frac{(100)(40)}{(200)} =20cm

Si tu velocidad al caminar es 0,3 m/s. Determina el tiempo que demorarias en llegar al sol en horas (REALIZAR TRANSFORMACIÓN DE
Contact [7]

Answer:

138,516,546.9 horas.

Explanation:

Tenemos que usar la ecuación:

Velocidad = distancia/tiempo

Acá tenemos:

Velocidad = 0.3m/s

distancia = 149597870700 m

y queremos resolver la ecuación para el tiempo:

0.3m/s =  149597870700m/tiempo.

tiempo =  149597870700m/(0.3m/s) = 498,659,569,000 s

y sabemos que una hora tiene 3600 segundos, entonces si queremos transformar de segundos a horas tenemos:

498,659,569,000 s = (498,659,569,000/3600) h = 138,516,546.9 horas.

Two plane mirrors are separated by 120°, as the drawing illustrates. If a ray strikes mirror M1 at a θ1 = 64° angle of incidence
tino4ka555 [31]

Angle, θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

θ1 = 64°

So, α will also be 64°

According to the figure:

α + β = 90°

So,

β = 90° - α

  = 90° - 64°

  = 26°

β + γ + 120° = 180°

γ = 180° - 120° - β

γ = 180° - 120° - 26°

γ = 34°

γ + δ = 90°

δ = 90° - γ

δ = 90° - 34°

δ = 56°

According to the law of reflection,

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

θ2 = δ = 56°

Therefore, angle θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°
