Answer:

The convection process plays an important role in the liquid. Due to the increasing heat supply or high amount of temperature, the fluid gets heated up, as a result of which it becomes warm, less dense and eventually rises up forming convection cells.

In the interior of the earth, the hot molten rocks get heated up due to the heat supplied by the core of the earth. This makes the magma warm and less dense and rises upward forming convection currents in the mantle.

This convection process is similar to the convection cells that form in the atmosphere, where the hot, less dense air rises up in the atmosphere forming a low-pressure zone. This uprising air forms convection cells, in which the warm air rises and as it rises high in the atmosphere, the temperature becomes low, making the air cold and it eventually sinks.

A 0.25 kg ball is suspended from a light 0.65 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 31° with the vertical. Let U = 0 w

steposvetlana [31]

Explanation:

a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is

$h = L - L\cos{31°} = L(1 - \cos{31°})$

so its initial gravitational potential energy $U_0$ is

$U = mgh = mgL(1 - \cos{31°})$

$\:\:\:\:\:=(0.25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31})$

$\:\:\:\:\:=0.23\:\text{J}$

b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:

$\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0 \Rightarrow K_0 + U_0 = K + U$

We know that the initial kinetic energy $K_0,$ as well as its final gravitational potential energy $U$ are zero so we can write the conservation law as

$mgL(1 - \cos{31°}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as

$v = \sqrt{2gL(1 - \cos{31°})}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31°})}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 1.3\:\text{m/s}$

Which statement is true about the element shown here? A) This element tends to gain electrons to become stable. B) This element

Ierofanga [76]

ITS C

This element tends to lose 2 electrons to become a 2+ ion, is the correct statement regarding the element calcium. Calcium has 2 electrons in its outer shell and it is easier to lose them than it is to gain enough to become stable. When stable it has 2 more protons than electrons forming a 2+ ion.

What is the most likely reason that Mendeleev placed tellurium before iodine?

Ilya [14]

Mendeleev watched that tellurium has compound properties like different components in its gathering, and he didn't realize that neutrons cause the more noteworthy nuclear mass. Mendeleev expressed that he anticipated that tellurium would have a lower nuclear mass than iodine.
