Answer:

When boiling water, the temperature of molecules within the water increases

Explanation: and they slowly begin to move at a rapid rate, upwards. ... The hot water molecules become less dense, and they rise above the denser cooler molecules. This movement of molecules creates convection currents.

Solar flares are bright, high-energy rays from the sun. Once it is intense enough, it can affect the Earth with penetrating radiation. Having this knowledge, probes that study or document for these solar flares near the sun's atmosphere should be able to resist high temperatures and high radiation using certain insulators and light materials suitable for space monitoring.

A snowball that will be used to build a snowman is at the top of a only hill. If the

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

h = 24.11 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The potential energy of the snowball is 520 J

The mass of the snowball is 2.2 kg

We need to find the height of the hill. The potential energy of an object is given by the formula as follows :

$E=mgh$

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is height of the hill

$h=\dfrac{E}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{520}{2.2\times 9.8}\\\\h=24.11\ m$

So, the height of the hill is 24.11 m.

Ocean waves are hitting a beach with a frequency of 0.100 Hz. Their average wavelength is 15.0 m. What is their average speed?

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Average speed=1.5 m/s

Frequency of pendulum=93.75Hz

Explanation:

We are given

Frequency, $f=0.100Hz$

Average wavelength = $\lambda=15m$

Speed of pendulum, $v=30m/s$

Wavelength, $\lambda'=0.32m$

We have to find the average speed and frequency of pendulum.

We know that

Speed, $v=\lambda f$

Using the formula

Average speed, $v=15\times 0.1=1.5m/s$

Hence, the average speed =1.5m/s

Frequency, $f=\frac{v}{\lambda'}$

Using the formula

$f=\frac{30}{0.32}$

$f=93.75Hz$

Hence, the frequency of a pendulum=93.75Hz

An object, initially at rest moves 250m in 17s. What is it's acceleration?

Gekata [30.6K]

With the values you've given, only velocity can be found.
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity

d= 250s
t= 17s

a= d/t
= $\frac{250}{17}$
= 4.7 $\frac{m}{s}$

Advocard [28]

The smallest level of organization in living things is the atom.

Next in line would be the cell, since a cell is made up of atoms working together. Next, cells working together would make up a tissue, and further, tissues working together would make up an organ.
