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.

9.00 V is applied to a wire with a resistance of 52.0 ohm. At what distance from the wire is the magnetic field 2.22x 10^-8 T?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

r = 1.56 m

Explanation:

B = μ₀I/2πr

r = μ₀I/2πB

I = 9.00 / 52.0 = 0.173 A

μ₀ = 4πe-7 T•m/A

r = 4πe-7(0.173)/2π(2.22e-8)

r = 2e-7(0.173)/(2.22e-8)

r = 1.5592... ≈ 1.56 m

Compare and contrast how sound waves behave when they

Ghella [55]

Answer:

As sound waves move (or more accurately, when they travel by transferring their energy) they interact with physical objects. Soft surfaces will absorb sound while hard surfaces will reflect it. .Hard surfaces reflect sound and soft surfaces absorb sound.

The convex mirror has a reflecting surface that curves outward, resembling a portion of the exterior of a sphere. Light rays parallel to the optical axis are reflected from the surface in a direction that diverges from the focal point, which is behind the mirror

Calculate the change in length of a Pyrex glass dish (Coefficient of linear expansion for Pyrex is 3 x 10^-6 /C) that is 0.3 met

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.000225 m

Explanation:

Coefficient of linear expansion = $\alpha_L=3\times 10^{-6} /C$

Length = 0.3 meters

ΔT = Change in temperature = 250 °C

Linear expansion

$\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha_L\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\alpha_L\Delta T\times L\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=3\times 10^{-6}\times 0.3\times 250=0.000225\ m$

Change in length of the Pyrex glass dish is 0.000225 m.
