5. During a heat transfer investigation, students filled two cups with water. One cup contains 100mL of cold water while the oth
er contains 100 mL of hot water.
A metal heat wire is placed inside the water of both cups and thermometers are attached to each cup. Which of the following BEST explains how the heat is transferred? Cold Water Hot Water.
A. This investigation would not result in any heat being transferred.
B. Convection, because the metal wire was heated through convection currents.
C. Radiation, because the metal wire was heated by electromagnetic waves.
D. Conduction, because the metal wire was in direct contact with water in both containers.

The ducks' flight path as observed by someone standing on the ground is the sum of the wind velocity and the ducks' velocity relative to the wind:
ducks (relative to wind) + wind (relative to Earth) = ducks (relative to Earth)
or equivalently,
(see the attached graphic)
We have
- ducks (relative to wind) = 7.0 m/s in some direction <em>θ</em> relative to the positive horizontal direction, or
- wind (relative to Earth) = 5.0 m/s due East, or
- ducks (relative to earth) = some speed <em>v</em> due South, or
Then by setting components equal, we have
We only care about the direction for this question, which we get from the first equation:
or approximately 136º or 224º.
Only one of these directions must be correct. Choosing between them is a matter of picking the one that satisfies <em>both</em> equations. We want
which means <em>θ</em> must be between 180º and 360º (since angles in this range have negative sine).
So the ducks must fly (relative to the air) in a direction 224º relative to the positive horizontal direction, or about 44º South of West.
