In your own words describe the motion of convection currents?

2 answers:

5 0

Convection is the circular motion that occurs as hotter air or liquid increases when the cooler air or liquid drops down, and has faster moving molecules, rendering it less dense. Convection currents within the earth shift layers of magma, and currents are formed by convection in the ocean.

Heat energy can transfer by convection when there is a significant difference in temperature between two parts of a fluid. When this temperature difference exists, hot fluids rise and cold fluids sink, and then currents, or movements, are created in the fluid.

Which object has more momentum?

lakkis [162]

Answer:

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

Momentum = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0

In being served, a tennis ball is accelerated from rest to a speed of 31.6 m/s. The average power generated during the serve is

joja [24]

Answer:

The force acting on the ball is 92.4 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 31.6 m/s

The average power generated during the serve is 2920 W. Power generated by an object is given by :

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

W is the work done, W = Fd

$P=\dfrac{Fd}{t}$

Since, $v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

So,

$P=F\times v$

F is the force acting on the ball

$F=\dfrac{P}{v}\\\\F=\dfrac{2920\ W}{31.6\ m/s}\\\\F = 92.4\ N$

So, the force acting on the ball is 92.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A student uses the right-hand rule as shown.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: O:right

Explanation: In this case you place your finger on the current, and your fingers should curl showing the way, you must use your right hand in this case, otherwise that would mean the fingers on your left would bend way back, and snap off, (Not really lol, just saying)
