A lava lamp is a decorative item found in some homes. The lamp portion contains a waxy substance in a liquid medium. When the la

mp is plugged in, a bulb at the base of the lamp slowly heats the waxy substance sitting at the bottom of the liquid. Eventually, the waxy substance will separate into globs that quickly rise to the top of the lamp where the surrounding liquid cools them and causes them to fall back to the bottom. Based on the information provided, a lava lamp could be used to provide an example of which process of thermal energy transfer?

Answer:

Conduction, convection, and radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is the process in which energy is transferred from a hot body to a cooler body. Convection is a process by which heat is transferred as a result of the movement of heated fluid in the form of air or water. Radiation refers to the transmission of energy through a material medium.

Based on the information provided, a lava lamp could be used to provide an example of conduction, convection, and radiation.

Which statement below best describes the relationship between the voltage, resistance, and current?
aliina [53]

Answer:

As voltage increases, current increases and resistance stays the same .

Explanation:

Ohm's law gives the relationship between the voltage, resistance, and current. The mathematical form of Ohm's law is given by :

V\propto I\\\\V=IR

R is resistance

I is current

V is voltage

So, as voltage increases, current increases and resistance stays the same. The correct option is (A).

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
Rainbow [258]

Explanation:

Usually when we think of waves, we think of transverse waves.  These are waves where points move up and down perpendicular to the motion of the wave.  Examples include water waves, whipping a rope, or even doing the "wave" in a crowd.  You can think of these as "two dimensional" waves.

Longitudinal waves are waves where points move left or right, parallel to the motion of the wave.  In other words, there is compression and expansion of the medium.  Examples include sound waves, or pulses in a slinky.
