Internal energy.

Explanation:

In any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called Brownian motion). As a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance). Moreover, the particles interact with each other due to the presence of electrostatic intermolecular forces, and as a result, the particles also have some potential energy.

The sum of the kinetic energies and potential energies of the particles in a substance is called internal energy.

Internal energy would be the answer because it says the sum of energies "IN" the particles.

What current flows through a 2.56-cm-diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0 cm long, when 1.00 ✕ 103 V is applied to it? (Suc

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.0011 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of rod, d = 2.56 cm

Radius of rod, r = 1.28 cm = 0.0128 m

The resistivity of the pure silicon, $\rho=2300\ \Omega-m$

Length of rod, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Voltage, $V=1\times 10^3\ V$

The resistivity of the rod is given by :

$R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}$

$R=2300\ \Omega-m\dfrac{0.2\ m}{\pi (0.0128\ m)^2}$

R = 893692.30 ohms

Current flowing in the rod is calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = I R

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}$

$I=\dfrac{10^3\ V}{893692.30\ \Omega}$

I = 0.0011 A

So, the current flowing in the rod is 0.0011 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

How does the distance traveled by the coin compare to its displacement after ten flips?

Mkey [24]

Answer:

To calculate displacement, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your displacement is 0. In physics, displacement is represented by Δs.

PLS HELP compare longitudinal and transverse waves

babymother [125]

A transverse wave is one for which the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave whereas, for longitudinalwaves oscillations are in the direction of propagation. Ripples in pond water move about the surface of water and they simultaneously move away from the point-0 too.
Longitudinal waves include sound waves(vibrations in pressure, particle of displacement, and particle velocity propagated in an elastic medium) and seismic P-waves (created by earthquakes and explosions). In longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of thewave.

A capacitor is charged until its stored energy is 7.54 J. A second capacitor is then connected to it in parallel. If the charge

Ivan

Answer:

2 J

Explanation:

A charged capacitor of capacitance $C_1$ with energy of 7.54 J, is connected in parallel with another capacitor $C_2$ , so the charge is equally distributed between them.

(a) The energy stored in the capacitor before it being connected to the other capacitor is:

$U_O=q_0^2/2C_1=7.54 J\\$

The energy stored in the electric field is the sum of the energies of the two capacitors:

$U=U_1+U_2\\U=q_1^2/2C_1+q_2^2/2C_2$

since the charge equally distributed, $q_1$ = $q_2$ = $q_o/2$ . and since they are connected in parallel the potential difference on both of them is the same :
