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 hockey player uses a hockey stick to hit a puck such that the stick provides an applied force on the puck The puck travels for
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation presented in order to know which answer is correct.

When the stick collides with the puck, it exerts a force for a certain time and discants. / After this time the horizontal force decreases to zero and the disk continues to move by the action of the initial velocity on the x axis and the acceleration of gravity on the y axis.

Therefore, after the collision, the only force that acts on the disk is the gravitational attractive force (WEIGHT), directed on the axis and in a negative direction.

The correct answer is:

C)           Since there is no frictional force exerted on the puck, a normal force is not exerted on the puck, but the gravitational force is exerted on the puck
