Explain how waste energy is produced when an inefficient lightbulb converts electrical energy into radiant energy.

This is how manganese appears in the periodic table. The arrow is pointing to the atomic of manganese.

Liula [17]

The way an element is shown in the periodic table is called the element's symbol. In the case of manganese, it is Mn. Other information shown alongside the element's symbol is the atomic mass, which for manganese is 55, and the atomic number of the element, which for manganese is 25.

A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J$

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

$\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J$

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q = $3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J$

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature = $\Delta T$

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T$

$\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K$

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1 Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).

Which of the following graphs best represents the relationship between the gravitational potential energy of a freely falling ob

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The last graph.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at a given height from the Earth's surface.

The formula to find the gravitational potential energy is given as:

$U=mgh$

Where, 'U' is the gravitational potential energy.

'm' is the mass of the body.

'g' is the acceleration of the body due to gravity.

'h' is the height of the body above the Earth's surface.

So, from the above equation, it is clear that, gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height. So, as height increases, the gravitational potential energy increases. At the surface of Earth, where, height is 0, the gravitational potential energy is also zero.

Therefore, the correct graph is a straight line with positive slope and passing through the origin. So, the last option is the correct one.

In a food chain, which trophic level contains the greatest amount of energy?

evablogger [386]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. In a food chain. it is the producers trophic level that contains <span>the greatest amount of energy since it is the very start of the chain. Most of the energy are being stored and passed to the next organism. Hope this answers the question.</span>
