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.

What is the speed of an electron that has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1020 V?
sashaice [31]
<span>a. KE in electron volts is 1020 eV. 
b. KE in Joules is e(1020) = (1.6022E-19)(1020) = 1.634E-16 
c. KE = (1/2)mv^2, so v = sqrt[2*KE/m] = 18.94E6 m/s

note: m is the mass of an electron = 9.109e-31 kg

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

The kinetic energy of a 1000-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s.
eimsori [14]
E=(mV^2)/2
m=1000kg, V=20m/s
then, E=(1000kg*(20m/s)^2)/2
E=(1000*400)/2 J = 200000J

The weight of a standard object defined as having a mass of exactly 2.9 kg is measured to be 28.449 n. in the same laboratory, a
PtichkaEL [24]
Mass of the object m = 2.9 kg 
Force F1 = 28.449 N 
F1 = m1 x a => a = F / m => 28.449 / 2.9 => a = 9.81, which is gravitational acceleration. 
In the same lab, a = g = 9.81, second object F2 = 48.7N = m2 x a 
m2 = F2 / a => 48.7 / 9.81 => m2 = 4.96 kg 
Mass of the second object m2 = 4.96 kg

A 15.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -6.0 cm. What is the height of the image produced by
Vlad [161]

Answer: D. 5cm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Focal length (f) = - 6.0 cm

Height of object = 15.0cm

Distance of object from mirror (u) = 12.0cm

Height of image produced by the mirror =?

Firstly, we calculate the distance of the image from the mirror.

Using the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/-6 - 1/12

1/v = - 1/6 - 1/12

1/v = (- 2 - 1) / 12

1/v = - 3 / 12

v = 12 / - 3

v = - 4

Using the relation :

(Image height / object height) = (- image distance / object distance)

Image height / 15 = - (-4) / 12

Image height / 15 = 4 / 12

Image height = (15 × 4) / 12

Image height = 60 / 12

Image height = 5cm
