When heat energy is transferred by particles or waves, it is called _____?

1 answer:

5 0

If heat is transferred by waves it is called radiation. If it is transferred by particles in contact,it is conduction. If the particles move to carry the heat its called convection. Hope this helps have a great day! :)

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?

kow [346]

The density would decrease because the mass of an object deals with the amount of atoms in the object and since none of the object was reduced "a" wouldn't be the answer. Depending on the amount and period of time that the heat is applied the liquid could change into a gas so "d" wouldn't be correct. Density is the mass÷ volume, and when you add heat to an object it could take up different amounts of space because of its particles gaining energy and spreading apart. So the density would decrease because of the volume increasing. So I believe that "c" is the answer.

The distance between the first and fifth minima of a single-slit diffraction pattern is 0.500 mm with the screen 37.0 cm away fr

WARRIOR [948]

In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
$y_n= \frac{n \lambda D}{a}$ (1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
$\lambda$ is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit

In our problem,
$D=37.0 cm=0.37 m$
$\lambda=530 nm=5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m$
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
$y_5-y_1 = 0.500 mm=0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m$ (2)

If we use the formula to rewrite $y_5, y_1$ , eq.(2) becomes
$\frac{5 \lambda D}{a} - \frac{1 \lambda D}{a} =\frac{4 \lambda D}{a}= 0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
$a= \frac{4 \lambda D}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= \frac{4 (5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m)(0.37 m)}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= 1.57 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1.57 mm$

A 1.4-kg block slides freely across a rough surface such that the block slows down with an acceleration of â1.25 m/s2. what is t

Marianna [84]

Mass of the block = 1.4 kg

Weight of the block = mg = 1.4 × 9.8 = 13.72 N

Normal force from the surface (N) = 13.72 N

Acceleration = 1.25 m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be μ

Friction force = μN

F(net) = ma

μmg = ma

μg = a

μ = $\frac{a}{g}$

μ = $\frac{1.25}{9.8}$

μ = 0.1275

Hence, the coefficient of kinetic friction is: μ = 0.1275

An electric motor rotates 60 times per second if the alternating current source is 60 Hz. How many times will an electric motor

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

180,000

Explanation:

Frequency is a quantity that is measured in Hertz [Hz] and it represents the number of rotations per second.

A motor with a frequency of 50 Hz will rotate 50 times per second.

Since we don't want to know how many times it rotates per second, but per hour. The first step is to find how many seconds there are in an hour and then multiply that amount by 50.

Seconds in an hour:

there are 60 seconds per minute, and 60 minutes per hour, thus there are

60*60 = <u>3,600 seconds in an hour</u>

We know that the motor will rotate 50 times per second so to find the number of rotations in 1 hour = 3,600 seconds we multiply:

50*3,600 = 180,000 rotations
