Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) whose cooler material (more dense) sinks at the bottom and warm material (less dense) rises at the top is known as convection process.

This intermixing of materials leads to the development of convectional currents.

Therefore, we can conclude that convection currents in air and water occur because warm fluids are less dense than cold fluids.

How many times longer than the length of one year is the age of the universe?
Len [333]
No one can really tell exactly how old the universe is. However, scientists have attempted to estimate the time by using the concept of Doppler effect which depends on the frequency of the stars and their relative velocities. From literature, the universe is about 13.82 billion years old. Thus, the age of the universe is 13.82×10⁹ times longer than a year.

A jetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 71.9 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 675 m of runway in which
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The value is  a =  -3.7 \  m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  landing speed is  u =  71.9 \  m/s

   The  distance traveled is  d =  675 \  m

    The velocity it is reduced to is  v  =  11.3 \  m/s

   

Generally the average acceleration is mathematically represented as

      a =  \frac{ v^2  -  u^2 }{ 2 * d }

=>  a =  \frac{ 11.3^2 - 71.9^2 }{ 2 * 675 }

=>   a =  -3.7 \  m/s^2
