Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following?
convection
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.
If A = 9 ft. and the green box weighs 30 lbs. what is the torque acting on the A side of this lever?
The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?
kinetic
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?
transpiration
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
convection
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.
What is 9a - 7a?
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
9a - 7a = 2a
A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?
The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{4}\) - 1\(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:
(\( \frac{18}{8} \) - \( \frac{13}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{5}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
