A. Substance X will rise due to convection.
B. Substance Y will rise due to convection.
C. Substance X will rise due to radiation.
D. Substance Y will rise due to radiation.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is a process in which heat transfers from a hotter substance to a colder substance.

As a result, the substance which is less dense will rise and the more denser substance will sink due to the influence of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation substance X will rise due to convection.

OLga [1]

Answer:

α = (ω²)/8π

Explanation:

The angular acceleration(α) of the carousel can be determined by using rotational kinematics:

ω² =ωo² + 2αθ

Let's make α the subject of this equation ;

ω² - ωo² = 2αθ

α = (ω² −ωo²)/2θ

Now, from the question, since initially at rest, thus, ωo = 0

Also,since 2 revolutions, thus, θ = 2 x 2π = 4π since one revolution is 2π

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

α = (ω²)/2(4π)

α = (ω²)/8π

In springboard diving, the diver strides out to the end of the board, takes a jump onto its end, and uses the resultant spring-l
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10.4 m/s

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the diver in the problem, we have:

u=+6.3 m/s is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:

v=+6.3 + (-9.8)(1.7)=-10.4 m/s

And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.
