When a steady current flows through a resistor, the resistor heats up. We say that "electrical energy is dissipated" by the resi

stor, that is, converted into heat. But if energy is dissipated, where did it come from? Did it come from the voltage source through the wires?

Answer:

The dissipated energy in a resistor comes from the potential electric energy of a current source. This is known as the Joule effect. In fact, this energy is carried by the wires until the resistor.

An object–spring system undergoes simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude increases but the mass of the object is not changed,
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

doesn't change (d)

Explanation:

The total energy in a system is the sum of Kinetic and Potential energies in a system, assuming that energy is not lost to an external procedure. Now, let us define what potential and kinetic energies are:

Potential Energy: this is energy at rest or stored energy

Kinetic Energy: this is energy in motion

In a simple harmonic motion of a mass-spring system, there is no dissipative force, hence the total energy is equal to the potential and kinetic energies. The total energy is not changed rather, it varies between potential and kinetic energies depending on the point at which the mass is. The kinetic energy is greatest at the point of lowest amplitude (highest velocity) and lowest at the point of greatest amplitude (lowest velocity), while potential energy is greatest at the point of highest amplitude (lowest velocity) and lowest at the point of smallest amplitude ( highest velocity). However, at every point, the sum of kinetic and potential energies equals total energy.

ball dropped from top of 50m high cliff stone thrown straight up from bottom with speed of 24. they collide. how far above base
Tresset [83]

Answer:

28.73 m from the base of the cliff collide happen

Explanation:

Equation for ball dropped from 50 cliff is reaches distance x in t seconds isi given by

x=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\x= 0 \times t+\frac{1}{2} gt^2 =\frac{1}{2} gt^2......(1)

stone is thrown up from the bottom with speed u=24 m/s . it reaches distance y when stone collide with ball.(g is negative here)

y=24t-\frac{1}{2} gt^2.............(2)

we know that total distance traveled by ball and stone is 50 m

x+y=50 m

adding equation 1 and 2, we get time t

x+y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2+24t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\50=24t\\t=2.083 s

substitute this time in equation 2, we can get the required distance where they collide

y=24t-\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\y=24\times 2.083-\frac{1}{2}\times  9.8\times 2.083^2\\y=28.73 m

28.73 m from the base of the cliff collide happen

Lidia plans an experimental investigation to see how the thickness of a lens affects the point where a beam of light is focused.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The type of light and the material of lenz.

Explanation:

1) As the investigation is based on how the thickness of a lens effect the other variable. Thickness of the lenz is independent variable. So Lidia has to experiment with the different thicknesses in order to find the effect on dependent variable.

2) As the investigation is based to find the point where the beam of light is focused. It's a dependent variable and Lidia has no control over it. So the only thing she can do is to measure and observe how it respond to the changes in independent variable.

3) For conclusion, she has to make sure that the other variables are not effecting the output or results that is the beam point where the light is focused. So she must have to kept constant the type of light and material of lenz otherwise she won't be able to discriminate the effect of thickness of lenz from other causes.
