Answer:

Opposite direction

Explanation:

For example: The first object travels in the direction pointing to east, while the other one travels pointing to the west.

The first object will have a positive value while the second one will have a negative, cause it's going to the opposite direction

Complete the sentences to describe the convection experiment.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The<u> heat transfer </u>model showed convection.

In the convection model, the red water on the bottom of the beaker <u>is hot</u>

This means that the water at the bottom of the beaker was <u> less dense than </u>the water near the top of the beaker.

Explanation:

<em>Convection</em> is the transference of heat energy by the movement (translation) of the particles of fluid (liquids or gases).

When the water on the bottom of the beaker is heated, it expands and becomes less dense.

The water near the top of the beaker is cold which makes it denser than the water at the bottom of the beaker.

Thus, the hot water from the bottom of the beaker will ascend  toward the top of the beaker, while the cold water on top will descend toward the bottom. As long, as there is a difference of temperature between the water on the bottom and on top of the beaker, there will be a continuous movement of the particles: cold particles from the top replace hot particles from the bottom that ascend, and when the cold particles are heated they will ascend and will be replaced by new cold particles. This continuous translation of hot and cold particles in fluids is the model of heat transfer by convection.

A 2-kg object is moving horizontally across a frictionless surface with a speed of 4 m/s. How much force is required to keep the
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

  none

Explanation:

Newton's first law says an object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and direction unless acted upon by some force.

No force is necessary for the object to keep its speed and direction on a frictionless surface.

Hilda plans to display in a clear cube the needle betsy ross used to sew the first american flag. the needle will fit exactly as
inysia [295]

Based on the length of side of the cube given, the length of the needle is 2.28 inches.

<h3>What is the length of the needle?</h3>

The length of the side of a cube and its diagonal are related by the formula below:

Length \:  of \:  Diagonal = \sqrt{3s}

where s is length of side

Side \:  Length  \: of \:  the \:  Cube = \sqrt{3inches}

Diagonal \: of  \: a  \: face \:  of  \: the \: cube = \sqrt{6inches}

The \: length \: of \: the \: needle = \sqrt{3\sqrt{3}}  = 2.28 \: inches \\

Therefore, the length of the needle is 2.28 inches

Introduces una masa de 80g en una probeta con 60cm cúbicos de agua y el nivel sube hasta 75cm cúbicos. qué densidad tiene la mas
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

d=5.33\ gr/cm^3

Explanation:

<u>Densidad</u>

La densidad de una masa m que ocupa un volumen v se define como:

\displaystyle d=\frac{m}{V}

Tenemos que una masa de 80 gr hace que un volumen de agua se desplace desde 60 cm3 hasta 75 cm3, es decir, el volumen propio de la masa es m = 75 - 60 = 15 cm3.

Con esta información se calcula la densidad:

\displaystyle d=\frac{80\ gr}{15\ cm^3}

Operando:

\boxed{d=5.33\ gr/cm^3}
