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.

The sound level at 1.0 m from a certain talking person talking is 60 dB. You are surrounded by five such people, all 1.0 m from

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

66.98 db

Explanation:

We know that

$L_T=L_S+10log(n)$

L_T= Total signal level in db

n= number of sources

L_S= signal level from signal source.

$L_T=60+10 log(5)$

= 66.98 db

A body moving at .500c with respect to an observer

lakkis [162]

Answer:

0.8c and -0.14c

Explanation:

The first fragment will have a speed of +0.5c respect of a frame of reference moving at +0.5c

Lest name v the velocity of the frame of reference, and u' the velocity of the object respect of this moving frame of reference.

The Lorentz transform for velocity is:

u = (u' + v) / (1 + (u' * v) / c^2)

u = (0.5c + 0.5c) / (1 + (0.5c * 0.5c) / c^2) = 0.8c

The other fragment has a velocity of u' = -0.6c respect of the moving frame of reference.

u = (-0.6v + 0.5c) / (1 + (0.5c * 0.5c) / c^2) = -0.14c

Air that enters the pleural space during inspiration but is unable to exit during expiration creates a condition called a. open

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. tension pneumothorax.

Explanation:

The increasing build-up of air that is in the pleural space is what we call the tension pneumothorax and this happens due to the lung laceration that lets the air to flee inside the pleural space but it does not return.

Which of the following statements are true concerning electromagnetic radiation fields?Select all that apply.a.) The electric an

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

a.) The electric and magnetic fields are in phase with each other as they propagate through space.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave in which magnetic field and electric field both induces each other as both changes with time

Here magnetic field induces electric field and similarly magnetic field induces electric field.

As we know that this is a transverse wave so here magnetic field and electric field lies in perpendicular planes. but they both propagate in same direction in such a wave that both fields reaches their maximum position and minimum positions simultaneously

So the correct answer is

a.) The electric and magnetic fields are in phase with each other as they propagate through space.

For a snowboard jumper in the air, what force or forces will be most important for modeling the motion?

Reptile [31]

Answer: Gravitational force and drag force

Explanation:

For a snowboard jumper in the air, two forces would be acting. One in the downward direction- the gravitational pull and second in the opposite direction to the motion, the drag force due to air. If the snowboard jumper jumps in the air at a certain angle with the horizontal. The forces are written as the sum of vertical and horizontal components. Hence, for the modeling the motion, gravitational force and drag force are important,
