Answer:

Radiation is characterized as the Emission and propogation of Energy(atomic and subatomic particles) in the form of Electromegnetic (Electric and Magnetic lines) waves through space or any medium.

Explanation:

These radiation can be in the form of heat rays , light rays, Xrays or UV rays.

Radition is bascically flow or movement of atomic particles or particularly energy in different forms. It is usually transmitted from a source to the destination for transferring Energy.

A sled drops 50 meters in height on a hill. The mass of the rider and sled is 70 kg and the sled is going 10 m/s at the bottom o
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 10.2 %

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70 kg

Height = 50 m

Velocity = 10 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the efficiency of energy conversion from potential to kinetic;

First of all, we would determine the potential energy;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 * 9.8 * 50

P.E = 34300 J

For the kinetic energy;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 70 * 10²

K.E = 35 * 100

K.E = 3500

Therefore, Input energy, I = 34300 J

Output energy, O = 3500 J

Next, we find the efficiency;

Efficiency = O/I * 100

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Efficiency = 3500/34300 * 100

Efficiency = 0.1020 * 100

Efficiency = 10.2 %

Does melting change substances into other substances?
spayn [35]

Answer:

Yes, I think

Explanation:

Melting is a process that causes a substance to change from a solid to a liquid. Melting occurs when the molecules of a solid speed up enough that the motion overcomes the attractions so that the molecules can move past each other as a liquid.

Two identical resistors are connected first in series and second in parallel. The equivalent resistances of the two types of con
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2

Explanation:

We have series and parallel combination of two resisters R_{1} and R_{2}.

Series combination is

R_{s}= R_{1}+R_{2} and Parallel is R_{p} = (\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}  )^-1

Now dividing series equivalent resistance by parallel resistance gives us

\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2.

Note! series Combination is simply superposition of two elements (resisters in this case ) in a circuit.
