Name three types of energy that exist in a large piece of charcoal on a grill in the sunlight. Explain why the charcoal has each
1 answer:
Answer:
A large piece of charcoal on a grill in the sunlight (if it's burning) will consist of the following types of energy:
- Chemical
- Heat and
- Light
Explanation:
Charcoal is basically carbon which is produced when wood is heated strongly in the absence of oxygen. From a chemistry point of view, charcoal contains combustible carbon whose chemical formula is C. Sometimes, which is water may be found in it but in very small units.
All matter contains Heat energy. Charcoal is not an exception. As the charcoal burns, the heat energy is produced along with Light energy.
Light comes in many forms such as Infrared rays, Xrays, Visible Spectrum light, etc.
The glow which the coal gives off fall under the visible spectrum of light.
Cheers

The resonant frequency of a circuit is the frequency at which the equivalent impedance of a circuit is purely real (the imaginary part is null).
Mathematically this frequency is described as
Where
L = Inductance
C = Capacitance
Our values are given as
Replacing we have,
From this relationship we can also appreciate that the resonance frequency infers the maximum related transfer in the system and that therefore given an input a maximum output is obtained.
For this particular case, the smaller the capacitance and inductance values, the higher the frequency obtained is likely to be.
Complete question:
A 45-mH ideal inductor is connected in series with a 60-Ω resistor through an ideal 15-V DC power supply and an open switch. If the switch is closed at time t = 0 s, what is the current 7.0 ms later?
Answer:
The current in the circuit 7 ms later is 0.2499 A
Explanation:
Given;
Ideal inductor, L = 45-mH
Resistor, R = 60-Ω
Ideal voltage supply, V = 15-V
Initial current at t = 0 seconds:
I₀ = V/R
I₀ = 15/60 = 0.25 A
Time constant, is given as:
T = L/R
T = (45 x 10⁻³) / (60)
T = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴ s
Change in current with respect to time, is given as;
Current in the circuit after 7 ms later:
t = 7 ms = 7 x 10⁻³ s
Therefore, the current in the circuit 7 ms later is 0.2499 A
