Answer:

Convection is what keeps the hurricane going in till the storm hits land.

Explanation:

Convection is the warm, moist current that rises above sea level and as it cools into water vapor it releases energy which a hurricane runs on. Once the hurricane hits land it continues to lose energy to keep it going because there's no convection from the sea currents rising above sea level to release energy.

Hope this helps.

When Bella pushes a box with a mass of 5.25 kilograms with a force of 15.75 newtons, it accelerates at a rate of 2.5 meters/seco

Mariana [72]

Sure !

Start with Newton's second law of motion:

   Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

This formula is so useful, and so easy, that you really
should memorize it.

Now, watch:

The mass of the box is 5.25 kilograms, and the box is
accelerating at the rate of 2.5 m/s² .
What's the net force on the box ?

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

         = (5.25 kilograms) x (2.5 m/s²)

   Net force = 13.125 newtons .

But hold up, hee haw, whoa ! Wait a second !
Bella is pushing with a force of 15.75 newtons, but the box
is accelerating as if the force on it is only 13.125 newtons.
What happened to the rest of Bella's force ? ?

==> Friction is pushing the box in the opposite direction,
and cancelling some of Bella's force.

How much ?

(Bella's 15.75 newtons) minus (13.125 that the box feels)

   = 2.625 newtons backwards, applied by friction.

Scott needs to determine the density of a metallic rod. First, he should determine the mass of his sample on the laboratory balance. Second, he should measure the volume of his sample by water displacement. Finally, he can calculate the density by dividing mass/volume.
Hope this helped ;)

Seema knows the mass of a basketball. What other information is needed to find the ball’s potential energy? the volume and heigh

Wewaii [24]

It is because the potential energy is similar to MgH.

When it comes to MgH, it means mass, gravity and height respectively.

By using the value of acceleration, seema will find the potential energy of a ball.
