Answer:

density; thermal

Explanation:

Convection currents occur in fluids because of temperature and density differences. Convection currents transfer thermal energy throughout a fluid.

<em>When a fluid is heated, the molecules closest to the heat source gets heated first and their temperature is raised. The rise in temperature lowers their density and as such, they move to the upper portion of the fluid to be replaced by yet-to-be-heated molecules at the upper portion. </em>

<em>When the replacement molecules also get heated, the same process occurs and a to-and-from rotational movement of molecules, also known as convection current, is created within the fluid. The to and from movement, thus, transfer thermal energy within the fluid until all the molecules within the fluid are at the same temperature.</em>

Jerry the mouse is running along a straight desert road at a constant velocity of 18 m/s. If a certain Tom cat wants to capture
Kruka [31]

Answer:

a) t = 1.75 s

b) x = 31.5 m

Explanation:

a) The time at which Tom should drop the net can be found using the following equation:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{oy}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y_{f}: is the final height = 0

y₀: is the initial height = 15 m

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v_{0y}: is the initial vertical velocity of the net = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

0 = 15m - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*t^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2*15 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.75 s

Hence, Tom should drop the net at 1.75 s before Jerry is under the bridge.

b) We can find the distance at which is Jerry when Tom drops the net as follows:

v = \frac{x}{t}

x = v*t = 18 m/s*1.75 m = 31.5 m

Then, Jerry is at 31.5 meters from the bridge when Jerry drops the net.

I hope it helps you!

A man weighs 1190 n on earth. what would he weigh on jupiter, where the free-fall acceleration is 25.9 m/s 2 ? the acceleration
Elden [556K]
The answer would be 3,145N. Using W=mg solve for the mass of the man on earth. Once you have the mass you can multiply it by the gravity of Jupiter giving you his weight in Newton’s on Jupiter.

Solution A has a specific heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a specific heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start
fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>

Q=m.c.\Delta T.....................................(1)

where:

  • \Delta T= temperature difference
  • Q= heat energy
  • m= mass of the body
  • c= specific heat of the body

<u>Proving mathematically:</u>

<em>According to the given conditions</em>

  • we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. m_A=m_B
  • equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. Q_A=Q_B
  • specific heat of solution A, c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • specific heat of solution B, c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • \Delta T_A & \Delta T_B are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

Q_A=Q_B

m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.

An applied force<span> is a </span>force<span> that is </span>applied<span> to an object by a person or another object.
An attractive force is a force of an attraction (where object are attracted by each other). Gravitation is an example of attractive force.

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2
