Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).
Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.
consider east-west direction along X-axis and north-south direction along Y-axis
= velocity of migrating robin relative to air = 12 j m/s
(where "j" is unit vector in Y-direction)
= velocity of air relative to ground = 6.3 i m/s
(where "i" is unit vector in X-direction)
= velocity of migrating robin relative to ground = ?
using the equation
=
+ 
= 12 j + 6.3 i
= 6.3 i + 12 j
magnitude : sqrt((6.3)² + (12)²) = 13.6 m/s
direction : tan⁻¹(12/6.3) = 62.3 deg north of east
The formula is:
v = v o + a t
6 = 10 + 3 * a
3 a = 10 - 6
a = 4 : 3
a = - 1.33 m/s² ( because the car slows down )
Answer: The average acceleration of the car is - 1.33 m/s²
The answer is A
Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are very good thermal conductors. Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy are called thermal insulators. Gases such as air and materials such as plastic and wood are thermal insulators
Answer:
Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity. Other properties include: State: Metals are solids at room temperature with the exception of mercury, which is liquid at room temperature (Gallium is liquid on hot days).
