Answer:

The motion of the molecules slow down

Explanation:

In heating process, increase in the temperature increases the motion of the molecules and hence it gains the kinetic energy and moves.

While in the cooling process, decrease in temperature reduces the speed or motion of the molecules and that's why during cooling kinetic energy of the molecules falls down.

Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

Strike441 [17]

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.

Suppose you are pushing a 3 kg box with a force of 25 N (directed parallel to the ground) over a distance of 15 m. Afterward, th

Answer: 321 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the box $m=3\ kg$

Force applied is $F=25\ N$

Displacement of the box is $s=15\ m$

Velocity acquired by the box is $v=6\ m/s$

acceleration associated with it is $a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{25}{3}\ m/s^2$

Work done by force is $W=F\cdot s$

$W=25\times 15\\W=375\ J$

change in kinetic energy is $\Delta K$

$\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-0)\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 6^2\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 36\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=54\ J$
