The situation (heat going through the ceiling) describes
conduction ... heat going from one place to another by
soaking through some material.
A). This is the one. Heat goes from from the marshmallow
to your hand by soaking through the wire. This is conduction too.
B). No. The heat in the room goes from the floor to the ceiling
because the warm air rises and carries it there. This is convection.
C). No. There's nothing for the heat to soak through between
the sun and the roof, and nothing that can move from the sun
to the roof and bring the heat with it. This is radiation.
D). No. Cold water sinks from the surface to the bottom because
warm water rose from the bottom to the surface, taking heat with it.
This is convection.
Answer:
The mass of the object involved and the value of the gravitational acceleration
Explanation:
- Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object in a gravitational field due to its position with respect to the ground:

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the heigth of the object with respect to the ground.
- Elastic potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an elastic object and it is given as:

where k is the spring constant of the elastic object, while x is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to the equilibrium position.
As we can see from the equations, both types of energy depends on the relative position of the object/end of the spring with respect to a certain reference position (h in the first formula, x in the second formula), but gravitational potential energy also depends on m (the mass) and g (the gravitational acceleration) while the elastic energy does not.
<span>An automobile with a mass of 1450 kg is parked on a moving flatbed railcar; the flatbed is 1.5 m above the ground. The railcar has a mass of 38,500 kg and is moving to the right at a constant speed of 8.7 m/s on a frictionless rail...

Answer:
Answer: C
Explanation:
The closer the city is by the ocean, the cooler it will get because of the winds it is created from the ocean. Meanwhile, Atlanta is slightly away from the ocean but wont be as cool as the Tybee Island. So the heat will hit more to the city away from the ocean.
Answer:
The magnetic field is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the metal rod is 
The current on the rod is 
The distance of separation(equivalent to length of the rod ) is 
The coefficient of kinetic friction is 
The kinetic frictional force is 
The constant speed is 
Generally the magnetic force on the rod is mathematically represented as

For the rod to move with a constant velocity the magnetic force must be equal to the kinetic frictional force so

=> 
=> 
=>
