Answer:

The heat transfer model showed convection.

In the convection model, the red water on the bottom of the beaker is hot

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

Explanation:

Convection 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.

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s

USPshnik [31]

No because an atom consists of two main parts and three subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

A fly has a mass of 1 gram at rest. how fast would it have to be traveling to have the mass of a large suv, which is about 3000

Zigmanuir [339]

We solve this using special relativity. Special relativity actually places the relativistic mass to be the rest mass factored by a constant "gamma". The gamma is equal to 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2). 

We want a ratio of 3000000 to 1, or 3 million to 1.

Therefore:
3E6 = 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2)
1 - (v/c)^2 = (0.000000333)^2
0.99999999999999 = (v/c)^2
0.99999999999999 = v/c
v= 99.999999999999% of the speed of light ~ speed of light
v = 3 x 10^8 m/s

What is the magnitude of the force a 1.5 x 10-3 C charge exerts on a 3.2 x 10-4 C charge located 1.5 m away?

sweet [91]

The magnitude of the force a 1.5 x 10-3 C charge exerts on a 3.2 x 10-4 C charge located 1.5 m away is 1920 Newtons. The formula used to solve this problem is:

F = kq1q2/r^2

where:
F = Electric force, Newtons
k = Coulomb's constant, 9x10^9 Nm^2/C^2
q1 = point charge 1, C
q2 = point charge 2, C
r = distance between charges, meters

Using direct substitution, the force F is determined to be 1920 Newtons.
