LOS ANGELES Stephen Hauschka Bills Jersey , Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- A 2-year-old boy accidentally shot dead his mother on Tuesday at a Walmart store in Idaho, U.S. media reported Wednesday.
The woman, 29, was shopping in the store in the northern Idaho city of Hayden with the boy and three other children at the time. The 2-year-old reached into her purse, grabbed a gun and opened fire. The mom Mike Tolbert Bills Jersey , Veronica J. Rutledge, was killed at the scene.
She was the owner of the gun and had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, local police told media.
The mother and the kids are in the northern Idaho town to visit relatives. Her husband arrived shortly after the shooting.
The store was closed following the incident.
Convection describes the transfer of thermal energy in liquids and gases. The most used method of transferring thermal energy is to heat a substance and then in turn allow the substance to move, therefore carrying the thermal energy to a new location. This is called convection. Convection is used in our everyday lives without us even realizing; steam from a tea kettle, hot exhaust fumes from cars Micah Hyde Bills Jersey , and even smoke from fires all carry thermal energy from one place and disperse it to another. As stated before, this process relies on two characteristics of liquids and gases. One is that they must flow, carrying thermal energy with them, and the other is that warmed liquids and gasses must rise in their cooler surroundings.
Since warm air rises, it is able to transfer thermal energy from one energy source to another. Convection is known as the process of transferring thermal energy by the movement of warm liquids and gasses to cooler surroundings. A perfect example to better understand convection is to think of a radiator in a closed room. With the radiator acting as the energy source John Miller Bills Jersey , the air near the radiator is warmed and soon rises, as it moves upward, the air interacts with outside things such as the walls and the furniture. Its molecules collide with these things and with each collision; the thermal energy is transferred from the warmer air to the cooler surroundings. In no time, the air will cool, sink Shaq Lawson Bills Jersey , and then will be drawn back to the radiator. This process repeats over and over until the radiator is turned off.
Conduction describes the transferring process of energy through solid substances. There is no specific motion in which a material’s molecules is carried away from their original location, but you could probably better understand it using this example: when a pan is being heated on the stove it is only touching the bottom of the pan, however, if the pan handle is metal, it quickly becomes too hot to touch. This occurs simply because of conduction. The effects of the many factors of conduction can be combined into one single equation called the thermal conduction equation. This equation can be used to determine the amount of thermal energy conducted through a material. The thermal conduction equation is:
