What does convection mean

Sladkaya [172]

Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat

Match the change of state of matter to the term:

Sphinxa [80]

Sup Milk,

Sublimation = Energy is absorbed and a solid turns to a gas.

Condensation = Energy is released and a gas changes to a liquid.

Evaporation = Energy is absorbed into a liquid to turn it into a gas.

What is the mass of a person running at 2.5 m/s with momentum of<br> 200 kg m/S

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

m = 80 kg

Explanation:

p = m × v

200 = m × 2.5

2.5m = 200

m = 200/2.5

m = 80 kg

A simple harmonic oscillator consists of a block (m = 0.50 kg) attached to a spring (k = 128 N/m). The block is pulled a certain

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

0.5 m

14.00595

8 m/s, 0.0625 s

5.71314 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 128 N/m

A = Amplitude

E = Energy in spring = 16 J

Energy in spring is given by

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{k}}\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 16}{128}}\\\Rightarrow A=0.5\ m$

The amplitude is 0.5 m

Time period is given by

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5}{128}}\\\Rightarrow T=0.39269\ s$

Number of oscillations is given by

$N=\dfrac{5.5}{0.39269}\\\Rightarrow N=14.00595$

The number of oscillations is 14.00595

For maximum speed

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=16\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{16\times 2}{0.5}}\\\Rightarrow v=8\ m/s$

The maximum speed is 8 m/s

For a distance of 0.5 m which is the amplitude

$Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\dfrac{0.5}{8}\\\Rightarrow Time=0.0625\ s$

The time taken would be 0.0625 s

The maximum kinetic energy is equal to the mechanical energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=16$

At x = 0.35 m

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{16-\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{16-\dfrac{1}{2}128\times 0.35^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}0.5}}\\\Rightarrow v=5.71314\ m/s$

The speed of the block is 5.71314 m/s
