How hot or cold something is
How much heat is absent (measuring the absence if heat)
(Fun fact- there is no cold just absence of heat
Answer:
1. In a coal-fired power plant, chemical energy is first converted to thermal energy. TRUE.
The chemical energy in the coal is converted to thermal energy when the coal is burnt to produce steam.
2. In a coal-fired power plant, approximately 2/5 of original energy in the coal is lost to heat. FALSE.
Approximately 3/5 of the original energy is lost not 2/5 so this statement is false.
3. The molecules in cold air move faster than in hot air. FALSE.
Molecules with more heat move faster than molecules with less. Molecules in cold air therefore, will move slower than molecules in hot air.
I believe it is away from his arm since the question states his arm is applying an upwards force
We are asked to solve for the index of refraction and the formula is n = c/v where "n" represents the index of refraction, "c" represents the speed of light in the vacuum while "v" represents the speed of another medium.
In the problem, we have the given values below:
c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 2 x 10^8 m/s
n =?
Solving for n, we have the solution below:
n = 3x10^8 / 2x10^8
n = 1.5
The answer is 1.5 for the index of refraction.
