This question is asking you to determine if individual atoms or systems, or both have these types of energy. A system would be "all the molecules or atoms" whereas an individual atom is "each of the molecules or atoms."

Answers:

A. All the molecules or atoms in motion have kinetic energy.

B. Each molecule or atom in motion has kinetic energy.

D. All the molecules or atoms in motion have thermal energy.

The only incorrect answer is C because individual atoms don't have thermal energy, only when they interact with other atoms. Still, atoms do have kinetic energy, which has the potential to turn into heat energy in these interactions.

Hope this helps!

A metal has a strength of 414 MPa at its elastic limit and the strain at that point is 0.002. Assume the test specimen is 12.8-m

ser-zykov [4K]

To solve this problem, we will start by defining each of the variables given and proceed to find the modulus of elasticity of the object. We will calculate the deformation per unit of elastic volume and finally we will calculate the net energy of the system. Let's start defining the variables

Yield Strength of the metal specimen

$S_{el} = 414Mpa$

Yield Strain of the Specimen

$\epsilon_{el} = 0.002$

Diameter of the test-specimen

$d_0 = 12.8mm$

Gage length of the Specimen

$L_0 = 50mm$

Modulus of elasticity

$E = \frac{S_{el}}{\epsilon_{el}}$

$E = \frac{414Mpa}{0.002}$

$E = 207Gpa$

Strain energy per unit volume at the elastic limit is

$U'_{el} = \frac{1}{2} S_{el} \cdot \epsilon_{el}$

$U'_{el} = \frac{1}{2} (414)(0.002)$

$U'_{el} = 414kN\cdot m/m^3$

Considering that the net strain energy of the sample is

$U_{el} = U_{el}' \cdot (\text{Volume of sample})$

$U_{el} = U_{el}'(\frac{\pi d_0^2}{4})(L_0)$

$U_{el} = (414)(\frac{\pi*0.0128^2}{4}) (50*10^{-3})$

$U_{el} = 2.663N\cdot m$

Therefore the net strain energy of the sample is $2.663N\codt m$

Describe how wavelength, frequency, and energy are related.

irina1246 [14]

The greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength. Given the relationship between wavelength and frequency — the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength — it follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.

2 Magnetism comes from the word

AysviL [449]

Answer:

A Magnesia

Explanation:

The word magnetism comes from the word Magnesia, which is the name for a region in Asia Minor, where fragments of Fe3O4 ore (magnetite) were found, which attracts other metal objects.

Magnetism is a physical phenomenon by which we describe the attractive or repulsive force between materials.

This phenomenon has been known for thousands of years.
