Answer:

Force

Explanation:

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.

Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/ $s^{2}$ .

When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.

i.e F = m × a

where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.

Which method of heat transfer transmits heat from the lower layers of air to the upper layers of air as the lower layers of air

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Convection

Explanation:

The method of heat transfer that allows heat to rise via vertical transport of heated part of a fluid (gas or liquid) and replace the fluid upper layers is called "convection"

Is Obesity primarily due to Genetics?

zepelin [54]

Obesity is primarily caused by a lack of physical activity or by unhealthy dietary habits. The positive energy balance underlying obesity is generally attributed to chronic excess energy intake or reduced physical activity.

Problem 25.40 What is the energy (in eV) of a photon of visible light that has a wavelength of 500 nm

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

E = 2.48 eV

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the following formula:

E = hυ

where,

E = Energy of Photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

υ = frequency of photon = c/λ

Therefore,

E = hc/λ

where,

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(5 x 10⁻⁷ m)

E = (3.97 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
