Boiling water in a pan is a good example of convection because the warm water rises and the cooler water sinks.

Answer : Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process in which a liquid is heated to transfer thermal energy to the liquid in the form of heat is called as convection. For example, when water is boiled in a vessel at a certain temperature which is a good example of convection, the warm water rises and the cold water sinks because liquid above a hot surface expands and then the liquid rises.

Convection means that hotter and less dense fluids have a tendency to rise while colder and more dense fluids sink.

The answer would be (A)
Hot water is denser than cold water and so hot water will be above the cold water.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

0.0000045 s

Explanation:

f = Frequency = 8 MHz

Clock cycle is given by

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{8\times 10^6}=1.25\times 10^{-7}\ s

Time taken for 12 clock cycles

12\times 1.25\times 10^{-7}=0.0000015\ s

Time taken per instruction is 0.0000015 s

In reading and displaying information it requires 3 processes

1 for reading, 1 for searching and 1 for displaying.

3\times 0.0000015=0.0000045\ s

Time taken is 0.0000045 s

A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

A 50 kg rocket generates 990 N of thrust. What will be its acceleration if it is launched straight up?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The acceleration of the rocket is 10 m/s².

Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the rocket be a m/s².

Given:

Mass of the rocket is, m=50\ kg

Thrust force acting upward is, F_{th}=990\ N

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Now, force acting in the downward direction is due to the weight of the rocket and is given as:

W=mg=50\times 9.8=490\ N

Now, net force acting on the rocket in upward direction is given as:

F_{net}=F_{th}-W\\F_{net}=990-490=500\ N

Therefore, from Newton's second law, net force acting on the rocket is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

F_{net}=ma\\500=50a\\a=\frac{500}{50}=10\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the rocket is 10 m/s².
