Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Convection process is one of the mode of heat transfer. In this process heat transfer takes place when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

Convection occurs in ocean currents due to the heat up of oceanic waters  making it less dense. This water travel above the cooler water and thus give off its heat to the environment surrounding it. As the water cools, it then starts  to sink, and the process continues.

Convection results due to the continual circulation of ocean water. In simpler terms, warm water rises up and cold water moves in to replace it.

Hence, the correct option is B.

A car is going 8 meters per second on an access road into a highway
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

20.96 m/s^2 (or 21)

Explanation:

Using the formula (final velocity - initial velocity)/time = acceleration, we can plug in values and manipulate the problem to give us the answer.

At first, we know a car is going 8 m/s, that is its initial velocity.

Then, we know the acceleration, which is 1.8 m/s/s

We also know the time, 7.2 second.

Plugging all of these values in shows us that we need to solve for final velocity. We can do so by manipulating the formula.

(final velocity - initial velocity) = time * acceleration

final velocity = time*acceleration + initial velocity

After plugging the found values in, we get 20.96 m/s/s, or 21 m/s

a typical cmall flashlight contains two batteries each having na emf of 2.0 v connected in series with a bulb havin ga resistanc
Helen [10]

Answer:

P = 0.25 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The emf of the battry, E = 2 V

The resistance of a bulb, R = 16 ohms

We need to find the power delivered to the bulb. We know that, the formula for the power delivered is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\P=\dfrac{2^2}{16}\\\\=0.25\ W

So, 0.25 W power is delivered to the bulb.

Under state law, what is the blood-alcohol limit for legally operating a motor vehicle?
Sati [7]

Answer:

HOPE IT HELPS.....

Explanation:

The legal standard for drunkenness across the United States ranges from 0.10 to 0.08. If a person's BAC measures 0.08, it means that there are 0.08 grams (i.e., 80 mg) of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. The American Medical Association says that a person can become impaired when the blood alcohol level hits 0.05.
