The gravitational potential energy of the weight changes to motion energy when the weight moves down and the paddle wheel spins. The motion energy changes to thermal energy, causing the water’s temperature to rise.

Explain the process of why the balloon is attracted to the wall, and why electrons are not transferred in this process. Is the w
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The process by which the balloon is attracted and possibly sticks to the wall is known as static electricity which is the attraction or repulsion between electric charges which are not free to move.

The wall is an insulator.

Explanation:

When a balloon is blown and tied off, and then the balloon is rubbed on the woolly object once in one direction, and the side that was rubbed against the wool is brought near a wall and then released, it is observed that the balloon is attracted to and sticks to the wall. The above observation is due to static electricity.

Static electricity refers to electric charges that are not free to move or that are static. One of the means of generating such charges is by friction. When the balloon is rubbed on the woollen material, electrons are given away to the balloon's surface. Since the balloon is an insulator (materials which do not allow electricity to pass through them easily), the electrons are not free to move. When the balloon is brought near to a wall, there is a rearrangement of the charges present on the wall. Negative charges on the wall move farther away while the positive charges on the wall are attracted to the electrons on the balloon's surface. Because the wall is also an insulator, the charges are not discharged immediately. Therefore, this attraction between opposite charges as well as the static nature of the charges results in the balloon sticking to the wall.

A wave traveling in the positive x-direction with a frequency of 50.0 Hz is shown in the figure below. Find the following values
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave from the midline to the top of the wave or the midline to the bottom of the wave (called crests). The midline then divides the whole height in half. Thus, the amplitude of this wave is 9.0 cm.

b. Wavelength is measured from the highest point of one wave to the highest point of the next wave (or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of the next wave, since they are the same). The wavelength of this wave then is 20.0 cm. or \lambda=20.0cm

c. The period, or T, of a wave is found in the equation

f=\frac{1}{T} were f is the frequency of the wave. We were given the frequency, so we plug that in and solve for T:

50.0=\frac{1}{T} so

T=\frac{1}{50.0} and

T = .0200 seconds to the correct number of sig fig's (50.0 has 3 sig fig's in it)

d. The speed of the wave is found in the equation

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} and since we already have the frequency and we solved for the wavelength already, filling in:

50.0=\frac{v}{20.0} and

v = 50.0(20.0) so

v = 1.00 × 10³ m/s

And there you go!

How is energy conserved in a transformation?
irina [24]
As the water plunges, its velocity increases. Its potential energy<span> becomes kinetic</span>energy<span>. The law of conservation of </span>energy<span> states that when one form of </span>energy<span> is</span>transformed<span> to another, no </span>energy<span> is destroyed in the process. ... So the total amount of </span>energy<span> is the same before and after any </span>transformation<span>.

hope it helps
