Give an example of how electrical energy and thermal energy are connected.

1 answer:

3 0

A toaster draws electric current (electrical energy) from a wall outlet and converts these moving electric charges into heat (thermal energy) in the filaments that turn red hot to cook your toast. ... As electricity runs through the filaments in a space heater, the electrical energy is converted into heat (thermal energy).
Hopefully this helped.

Suppose a light source is emitting red light at a wavelength of 700 nm and another light source is emitting ultraviolet light at

klasskru [66]

Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Energy of a photon is given by

$E=h\nu\\\Rightarrow E=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}$

Let $\lambda_1$ = 700 nm

$\lambda_2=350\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}$

For red light

$E_1=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}$

For UV light

$E_2=\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}$

Dividing the equations

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=2E_1$

Hence, the answer is b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

A 4.33 kg cat has 41.7 J of KE How fast is the cat moving?

balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Data

mass = 4.33 kg

E = 41.7 J

v = ?

Formula

Ke = (1/2)mv²

Clear v from the equation

v = √2ke/m

Substitution

v = √2(41.7)/4.33

v = 19.26 m/s Result

Alona [7]

Answer:

u = 10.63 m/s

h = 1.10 m

Explanation:

For Take-off speed ..

by using the standard range equation we have

$R = u² sin2θ/g$

R = 9.1 m

θ = 26º,

Initial velocity = u

solving for u

$u² = \frac{Rg}{sin2\theta}$

$u^2 = \frac{9.1 x 9.80}{sin26}$

$u^2 = 113.17$

u = 10.63 m/s

for Max height

using the standard h(max) equation ..

$v^2 = (v_osin\theta)^2 -2gh$

$h =\frac{(v_o^2sin\theta)^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(113.17)(sin26)^2}{(2 x 9.80)}}$

h = 1.10 m

Productivity increases when A. inputs increase while outputs remain the same. B. inputs decrease while outputs remain the same.

Blizzard [7]

Answer: Productivity increases when inputs and outputs increase proportionately.

Explanation:

Productivity increases when inputs and outputs increase proportionately. Input has to be directly proportional to output to be productive. This means increase in input to a system must leads to drastic increase in the output. When the output is not balanced with the amount of input, it leads to unproductivity.

Being productive can be business wise or in terms if personal growth and development.
