Answer:

Thermal energy is directly proportional to particle movement.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is a form of energy from heat. When applied to a given substance, it increases the kinetic energy of the particles. Thus the average rate of motion of the particles of the substance increases, likewise its temperature.

Therefore, an increase in thermal energy increases particle movement of a substance. And a decrease in thermal energy decreases the particle movement of a substance. Thus, thermal energy is directly proportional to the particle movement of a given substance.

A convex lens of focal length 35 cm produces a magnified image 2.5 times the size of the object. What is the object distance if

Zanzabum

Answer:

Image distance is -52.5 cm

Image is virtual and forms on the same side of the lens and upright image is formed.

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 35

m = Magnification = 2.5

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 2.5=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-2.5 u$

Lens equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{35}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-2.5u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{35}=\frac{3}{5u}\\\Rightarrow u=21\ cm$

$v=-2.5\times 21=-52.5\ cm$

Image distance is -52.5 cm

Image is virtual and forms on the same side of the lens and upright image is formed.

Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.

Monica [59]

If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.

We push a 38.4-kg box across the floor at constant velocity. If we are pushing a horizontal force of 238 N, find the coefficient

zmey [24]

Answer: 0.62

Explanation:

Coefficient of friction is defined as the ratio of the moving force (Fm) acting on a body to the normal reaction (R).

Note that the normal reaction acts vertically on the object and is equal to the objects weight (W) i.e W=R

Since W = mg, W = 38.4 ×10

W= 384N =R

Normal reaction = 384N

The horizontal force acting on the body will be the moving force which is 238N

Coefficient of friction = Fm/R

Coefficient of friction = 238/384

Coefficient of friction = 0.62

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.62

What has highest frequency in electromagnetic spectrum color?

natulia [17]

In Electromagnetic spectrum, X-rays has very high frequency but gamma-rays has more than that. If you consider cosmic rays as an electromagnetic wave, then it would be highest energetic and has highest frequency.

In short, Your Answer is "Cosmic rays"

Hope this helps!
