Answer:

1. Hot air is less dense and has moved upward allowing cool air to move downward which is less dens

(Convection current)

2. The ceiling has transferred heat to him by radiation.

Explanation:

During the day when air is heated as a result of the ceiling transferring heat to it, it becomes less dens and it gains energy, which make it lighter in weight than cooler air, this hot air moves upward allowing cooler air to move downward.

On a sunny summer day, why does a white car with a light-colored interior stay cooler than a black car with a dark-colored inter
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: Solar radiation reflects off the lighter colours, away from the car, thus keeping the car cool

Explanation: This is because lighter colors reflect a good amount of radiation while darker colors absorb it. Just like, Antarctica hasn't completely melted because it reflects a lot of the heat that is acting upon it. Or, you notice that you get hotter when you wear a black shirt opposed to a white one.

A person can jump 1.5m on the earth. How high could the person jump on a planet having the twice the mass of the earth and twice
MrMuchimi
F=mg=Gm1m2/r^2
g=Gm2/r^2
g=2Gm2/(2r)^2=2Gm2/4r^2=Gm2/2r^2
So since there is half times the gravity on this unknown planet that has twice earth's mass and twice it's radius, then the person can jump twice as high. 1.5*2= 3m high

Calculate the total resistance in a series circuit made up of resistances of 3Ω, 4Ω, and 5Ω.
-BARSIC- [3]
The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of all resistors (R total = ΣRi).

R total = R1 + R2 + R3 = (3 + 4 + 5) Ω = 12 Ω
