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 turtle accelerates from a stop at 3m/s/s to the South for 8s. What is the turtle’s final velocity? Show your work and include

andrey2020 [161]

He's accelerating at 3 m/s² . That means his speed is increasing by 3 m/s every second.At the end of 8 seconds, his speed is (8 x 3 m/s) = 24 m/s .He's been moving south for the whole 8 seconds.So at the end of that time, his velocity is 24 m/s south .

What is the mechanical advantage of a pulley system

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Pulleys accomplish 2 separate operations throughout the computer controlled additional benefit technologies listed elsewhere here.

Explanation:

If indeed the pulley would be connected to that same attachment point, these are named a corrected pendulum or perhaps a change in direction. Its job should be to reverse the trajectory of that same rope pull.
Unless the pulley would be connected to that same load, this same pulley seems to be a detachable as well as a mechanical additional benefit.
