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.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

  L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of a particle is given by

         L = r xp

         L = r m v sin θ

the bold are vectors, where the angle is between the position vector and the velocity, in this case it is 90º therefore the sine is 1

as we have two bodies

       L = 2 r m v

let's find the distance from the center of mass, let's place a reference frame on one of the masses

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{M} \sum  x_{i} m_{i}i

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{m+m} ( 0 + l m)

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{2m}  lm

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{2}

        x_{cm} = 13.1 / 2 = 6.05 m

let's calculate

          L = 2  6.05  74.3  5.65

          L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

Point masses m1 m2 are placed at opposite ends
tiny-mole [99]

(a) x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Moment of Inertia of m₁ about the axis, I₁ = m₁x²

Moment of Inertia of m₂ about the axis. I₂ = m₂ (L - x)²

Kinetic energy is rotational.

Total kinetic energy is E = \frac{1}{2} I_1w_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}I_2w_0^2 = \frac{1}{2} w_0^2(m_1x^2 + m_2(L-x)^2)

Work done is change in kinetic energy.

To minimize E, differentiate wrt x and equate to zero.

m_1x - m_2(L-x) = 0\\\\x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}

Alternatively, work done is minimum when the axis passes through the center of mass.

Center of mass is at \frac{m_2L}{m_1 + m_2}
