How do the positions of the hot and cold water affect the speed of convection

1 answer:

7 0

Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another via the movement of fluids. It happens from higher energy level to lower energy level to bring equilibrium to the system.

For vertical set up , if the hot water is places on top of cold water, direction of convection will be from top to bottom. So, gravity can play a role in increasing the rate of flow of energy. if the cold water is places on top of hot water, direction of convection will be from bottom to top. So, gravity can play a role in decreasing the rate of flow of energy.

for Horizontal set up, when hot and cold water are placed side by side, gravity will not playing a role in the flow of energy.So, the position of hot or cold water would not matter.

The critical angle for total internal reflection occurs when:___________.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

b) the refracted ray has an angle of 90 degrees

Explanation:

The angle of incidence is measured with respect to the normal separation of the media. The critical angle for total internal reflection occurs is:

$\theta=arcsin(\frac{n_2}{n_1})$

Here $n_2$ and $n_1$ are the refractive index of the mediums. This equation is an application of Snell's law, for the case where the refracted ray has an angle of $90^\circ$ .

A projectile is fired vertically from Earth's surface with

scoray [572]

Answer:

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

Explanation:

Initial speed, v = 10 x 10^3 m/s

Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

Maximum from the surface of earth, h = ?

Let m = Mass of the projectile

Solution:

Potential energy at maximum height = ( Potential + Kinetic energy ) at the surface

$-G M m / ( R + h )=- G M m / R + (1/2) m v^2$

$- G M / ( R + h ) = - G M / R + (1/2) v^2$

$-2\times G M / ( R + h ) = ( - 2 G M / R ) + v^2$

$-2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}/ ( R + h )$

= $( (- 2\times 6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}) /(6.4\times10^6)} +10000^2$

= $-2.50625\times10^7 J$

$=- 8\times10^{14} / ( R + h )=-2.50625\times 10^7$

$R+h=31.92\times10^{6}$

$h=31.92\times10^{6}-6.4\times10^6$

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

Julian and Joshua each maintain a constant speed as they run laps around a 400-meter track. In the time it takes Julian to compl

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

the time Joshua travels 1 mile is 12.5 min

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the distance traveled on each lap,

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

R = 400 m

d = 1 mile (1609 m / 1 mile) = 1609 m

L = 2 pi R

L = 2 pi 400

L = 2513 m

Let us form a rule of proportions if 2 turns of Julian is 3 turns Joshua, for 1 turn of Joshua how many turns Julian took

lap Julian = 2/3 turn Joshua

Let's calculate what distance is the same for both of them since they are on the same track

1 lap = 2513 m

d. Julian = 2/3 2513 m

d Julian = 1675 m distance Joshua

Let us form the last rule of three or proportions if 1609 m you travel in 12 min how long it takes to travel 1675 m

t Julian = 1675/1609 12

t = 12.5 s

Since this is the distance Joshua travels, this is the time Joshua travels 1 mile

In what subject could we see cross cutting concepts

meriva

A Framework for K–12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (Framework) recommends science education in grades K–12 be built around three major dimensions: science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science and engineering through their common application across fields, and core ideas in the major disciplines of natural science.

Before designing the filter, one must understand the relationship between the output voltage of the circuit and the frequency. F

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Option b. is correct

Explanation:

An RLC electrical circuit consists of constituent components: a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C). A resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor are connected in series or parallel.

The impedances of the circuit elements depend on the frequency.

Both impedance magnitudes decrease when the frequency increases
