<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.

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
