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.

It took 50 J to move a shopping cart 5 meters. With what force what is the shopping cart moved
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

10 N

Explanation:

Use the equation W=Fd, where W is the work (in joules), F is the force (in newtons), and d is the distance (in meters).'

W=Fd\\50=F(5)\\F=10 N

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Resistance = 400000 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 1200 V

Current = 3 mA = 3/1000 = 0.003 A

To find the resistance;

Voltage = current * resistance

Resistance = 1200/0.003

Resistance = 400000 Ohms

How much work is done against gravity when lowering a 16 kg box 0.50 m? (g = 9.8 m/s2)
leonid [27]

Answer:

The work done against gravity is 78.4 J

Explanation:

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance that the

object moves

W = F × d, where W is the work , F is the force and d is the distance

The SI unit of work is the joule (J)

We need to find the work done against gravity when lowering a

16 kg box 0.50 m

→ F = mg

→ m = 16 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these value in the rule

→ F = 16 × 9.8 = 156.8 N

→ W = F × d

→ F = 156.8 N and d = 0.50

Substitute these values in the rule

→ W = 78.4 J

<em>The work done against gravity is 78.4 J</em>
