<h2>Answer: C. Kinetic energy</h2>

Explanation:

Heat is energy in transit, in fact it is a transfer of thermal energy from one body to another.

So, when a metal is heated is because we have two bodies with different temperatures and thermal energy is transferred from one body to another, implying a high speed and kinetic energy in the particles involved (electrons in this case).

This is because the kinetic energy of a particle is that energy it possesses due to its movement, and according to the first principle of thermodynamics, there is a relationship between heat and movement, since the metal is composed of particles that are in motion (to a certain extent).

In this way, with the increase of the temperature of the metal, there is an increase of the kinetic energy of its free electrons with a gain of velocity (movement), therefore a gain in kinetic energy.

Answer: unspecific

Explanation:

you should always be specific with your goals, say someones goal is to make it to state for swimming, he/she should be specific to the event in which they want to go to state in.

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

The speed of a transverse wave on a string of length L and mass m under T is given by the formula

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}$

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

Answer:

$(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of a transverse wave given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}$

Maximum Tension is $T=10.0N$

Generally making $(m/l)$ subject from the equation mathematically we have

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}$

$v^2=\frac{T}{(m/l)}$

$(m/l)=\frac{T}{V^2}$

$(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}$

Therefore the Linear mass in terms of Velocity is given by

$(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}$

To protect her new two-wheeler, Iroda Bike

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The length of chain she is allowed is 1.169 ft

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The linear density of the chain = 0.83 lb/ft

The weight limit of the chain she wants = 1.4 lb

The formula for linear density = Weight/length

Therefore, in order to keep the chain below 1.4 lb, we have;

Linear density = Weight/length

Therefore;

The maximum length she wants = Weight/(Linear density)

Which gives;

The maximum length she wants = 1.4 lb/(0.83 lb/ft) =1.169 ft

Therefore;

The length of chain she is allowed = 1.169 ft.

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The change in temperature is $\Delta T = 1795 K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature coefficient is $\alpha = 4 * 10^{-3 }\ k^{-1 }$

The resistance of the filament is mathematically represented as

$R = R_o [1 + \alpha \Delta T]$

Where $R_o$ is the initial resistance

Making the change in temperature the subject of the formula

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{R}{R_o} - 1 ]$

Now from ohm law

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

This implies that current varies inversely with current so

$\frac{R}{R_o} = \frac{I_o}{I}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{I} - 1 ]$

From the question we are told that

$I = \frac{I_o}{8}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{\frac{I_o}{8} } - 1 ]$

=> $\Delta T = \frac{1}{3.9 * 10^{-3}} (8 -1 )$

$\Delta T = 1795 K$
