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.

For a star with a parallax angle of 1/2 of an at arcsecond, what will be its distance in parsec?

avanturin [10]

(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.

Another way to understand it is: The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.

For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is 2 parsecs (about 6.52 light years).

1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.

A 20 ft ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 3 ft from the wall at time t=0 and slides away from the wall at

stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.516 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder L=20 ft

The speed at which the ladder moving away is v=2 ft/s

after 1 sec, the ladder is 5 ft away from the wall

So, the other end of the ladder is at

$\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{20^2-5^2}=19.36\ ft$

Also, at any instant t

$\Rightarrow l^2=x^2+y^2$

differentiate w.r.t.

$\Rightarrow 0=2xv+2yv_y\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{x}{y}\times v\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{5}{19.36}\times 2=0.516\ ft/s$

Study the motion map shown. what do the circled vectors represent?

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

It's option d - Negative acceleration

Explanation:

Let's start by demonstrate why it's not option b - Speed : Speed is a scalar quantity so it can not be represented by a vector

Let's check that the green vectors represent velocity (velocity is a vector quantity, velocity is a direction aware, while speed is just a scalar)

Now let's show that the circled vectors are acceleration vectors:

Mathematically position X , velocity V and acceleration A are:

$\frac{dX}{dt} = V$ and $\frac{dV}{dt} = A$

Where X, V, A are vectors and $\frac{d(a)}{dt} = b$ indicates the derivate a of a time is equal to b.

So, this show that acceleration is a rate respect of time of velocity ⇒ When acceleration is positive, velocity increments, when acceleration is negative, velocity decrements.

The above explanation correspond to the motion map shown, getting demonstrated that the answer is D - Negative acceleration
