Answer:

During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.

Explanation:

Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).

Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.

svp [43]

Answer:

The Jovian planets formed beyond the Frostline while the terrestrial planets formed in the Frostline in the solar nebular

Explanation:

The Jovian planets are the large planets namely Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. The terrestrial planets include the Earth, Mercury, Mars, and Venus. According to the nebular theory of solar system formation, the terrestrial planets were formed from silicates and metals. They also had high boiling points which made it possible for them to be located very close to the sun.

The Jovian planets formed beyond the Frostline. This is an area that can support the planets that were made up of icy elements. The large size of the Jovian planets is as a result of the fact that the icy elements were more in number than the metal components of the terrestrial planets.

Consider a space shuttle which has a mass of about 1.0 x 105 kg and circles the Earth at an altitude of about 200.0 km. Calculat
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

1.6675×10^-16N

Explanation:

The force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences is expressed as;

g = GM/r²

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass = 1.0 x 10^5 kg

r is the altitude = 200km = 200,000m

Substitute into the formula

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 1.0×10^5/(2×10^5)²

g = 6.67×10^-6/4×10^10

g = 1.6675×10^{-6-10}

g = 1.6675×10^-16N

Hence the force of gravity experienced by the shuttle is 1.6675×10^-16N

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The value is  r =  5.077 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  Coulomb constant is  k =  9.0 *10^{9} \  N\cdot  m^2  /C^2

   The  charge on the electron/proton  is  e =  1.6*10^{-19} \  C

    The  mass of proton m_{proton} =  1.67*10^{-27} \  kg

    The  mass of  electron is  m_{electron } =  9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

   Then    

       Electric force on the electron  =  The  gravitational Force

i.e  

            m_{electron} *  g  = \frac{ k *  e^2  }{r^2 }

         \frac{9*10^9 *  (1.60 *10^{-19})^2  }{r^2 }  =     9.11 *10^{-31 }  *  9.81

         r =  \sqrt{25.78}

         r =  5.077  \  m

What physical property of minerals describes how they will break along a plane of weakness in a crystal lattice?
Rom4ik [11]
<span>The answer is cleavage Cleavage is the way minerals will break along a plane of weakness in a crystal lattice. These plane of relative weakness is formed due to various reasons like the locations of atoms in a crystal lattice so these locations form the smooth repeting surface which could be found out by studying its lattice or are sometimes visible to naked eye.</span>
