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.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer: a) 8.2 * 10^-8 N or 82 nN and b) is repulsive

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the Coulomb force for two point charged, it is given by:

F=\frac{k*q1*q2}{d^{2}}

Replacing the dat we obtain F=82 nN.

The force is repulsive because the points charged have the same sign.

Why does gravity hold objects on earth?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
 
Gravity is an attractive force that works to pull objects together. If 2 objects are close the gravitational pull will be stronger 
Mass and distance determine gravity. The farther two things are away from each other, the weaker the gravitational forces are, the less mass an object has the less gravitational force it exerts

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is
Anni [7]

Answer:  20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles

A square loop of wire has a perimeter of 4.00 mm and is oriented such that two of its parallel sides form a 13.0 ∘∘ angle with t
vivado [14]

Answer:

a) (2.436 × 10⁻⁷) Wb

b) (7.308 × 10⁻⁷) Wb

Explanation:

Magnetic flux is the dot product of the magnetic field vector and the Area vector.

Mathematically, it is given as

Φ = BA cos θ

where B = magnetic field strength

A = Cross sectional Area of the loop enclosed

θ = angle between the magnetic field and the plane of the area.

a) B = 0.250 T

To find A, the perimeter of the loop is given as 4.00 mm.

Perimeter of a square = 4L

4L = 4.00

L = 1.00 mm = 0.001 m

The area is given as L²

A = (0.001)² = 0.000001 m²

θ = 13°

Φ = BA cos θ

Φ = 0.25 × 0.000001 × cos 13°

Φ = 0.0000002436 Wb = (2.436 × 10⁻⁷) Wb

b) Another loop lies in the same plane but has an irregular shape, resembling a starfish. Its area is three times greater than that of the square loop

Φ = BA cos θ

B = 0.25 T

A = 3 × 0.000001 = 0.000003 m²

θ = 13°

Φ = 0.25 × 0.000003 × cos 13°

Φ = 0.0000007308 Wb = (7.308 × 10⁻⁷) Wb

Hope this Helps!!!
