Answer:

Earth convection occurs at the mantle layer

Explanation:

The movement of less dense material above the more dense material is called as convection. The mantle is the layer that lies between the core and the crust of the earth. The mantle is composed of rocks containing silicon, magnesium, oxygen, aluminium, iron and other minerals.

The heat energy of the core is transmitted to the rock in the lower mantle. This makes the rock with less temperature that lies in upper mantle to move down slowly. Now the rocks that are pushed up is eventually cooled and again pushed down by the hotter rock from the lower mantle. This is called as convection in earth’s mantle .

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

Converting to SI units

$10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.

When a person steps forward out of a small boat onto a dock, the boat recoils backward in the water. why does this occur??

bixtya [17]

Here is the correct answer of the given question above. When a person steps forward out of a small boat onto a dock, the boat recoils backward in the water and this occurs because the total momentum of the system is conserved. Hope this helps.

In your own words, explain how solar heating works

mestny [16]

Answer:

active solar heating systems use solar energy to heat a fluid either liquid or air and then transfer the solar heat directly to the interior space or to a storage system for later use. If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating, an auxiliary or back-up system provides the additional heat.

hope this helps : )

if u connect 3 resistors, having values 2ohm, 3ohm, 5ohm in parallel, will the value of total resistance of will be 2ohm or grea

Tju [1.3M]

If u want only WHether the total resistance is less than 2 or less than 5 or more than 5 ohms: there is a Simple way.

When you connect resistances in parallel, resultant resistance is always smaller than all of them. So it is less than 2 ohms.
