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! :)

Which force prevents protons from repelling each other inside a nucleus?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

So, the correct answer is <em><u>the strong nuclear force</u></em>. It actually pulls together nuetrons and protons that are in the nucleus. At very tiny distances only, like those inside the nucleus, so, this strong force succeded in dealing with the electromagnetic force, and it basically stops the electrical repulsion of protons from blowing apart the nucleus.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1030 mph

Explanation:

The new velocity equals the initial velocity plus the wind velocity.

First, in the x (east) direction:

vₓ = 335 mph + 711 cos 19° mph

vₓ = 1007 mph

And in the y (north) direction:

vᵧ = 0 mph + 711 sin 19° mph

vᵧ = 231 mph

The net speed can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (1007 mph)² + (231 mph)²

v ≈ 1030 mph

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 11.6 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

0.686 g of ice melts each second.

Solution:

As per the question:

Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = 11.6\ cm^{2} = 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}

Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m

Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = 390\ W/m.^{\circ}C

Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

q = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}

where

\Delta T = 100^{\circ} - 0^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}C = temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.

Thus

q = \frac{390\times 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\times 100}{0.196} = 228.48\ J/s

Now,

To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

M = \frac{q}{L_{w}}

where

L_{w} = Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

M = \frac{228.48}{333\times 10^{3}} = 6.86\times 10^{- 4}\ kg = 0.686\ g

A potential difference of 53 mV is developed across the ends of a 12.0-cm-longwire as it moves through a 0.27 T uniform magnetic
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The angle between the magnetic field and the wire’s velocity is 19.08 degrees.                                            

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference, V = 53 mV

Length of the wire, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.27 T

Speed of the wire, v = 5 m/s

Due to its motion, an emf is induced in the wire. It is given by :

\epsilon=Blv\sin\theta

Here,

\theta is the angle between magnetic field and the wire’s velocity

\sin\theta=\dfrac{\epsilon}{Blv}\\\\\sin\theta=\dfrac{53\times 10^{-3}}{0.27\times 0.12\times 5}\\\\\sin\theta=0.327\\\\\theta=19.08^{\circ}

So, the angle between the magnetic field and the wire’s velocity is 19.08 degrees.
