If you start with a substance as a solid, what will happen to the molecules as you add thermal energy (heat)?

Physics

AveGali [126]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added

Explanation:

The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.

  • Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
  • As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
  • They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
  • Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
  • Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
  • This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas

Is our body in thermal equilibrium with the environment ?​
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The human body runs at a constant 37 ºC but the air around you at room temperature is about 20-25 ºC which means heat is constantly leaving your body to warm your surroundings and maintain thermal equilibrium. You don't lose much energy doing this however as air heats reasonably quickly

What atoms get more energy they can ionize.what can happen to a gas as more energy is added to its atoms?
stiks02 [169]
Option A is the corrrect answer!



Explanation: When more and more energy is provided to a gas then its atoms move more rapidly. This rapid and continuous movement converts the gas into hot ionized ions which have positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.

devlian [24]
F = k*d, k = F/d.

Force = spring constant * distance.

F = 40, d = (9-5)/100 = 0.04m (extension in metres).

k = 30 / 0.04 = 750.

When electrical is "used by a light bulb", what really happens to energy
Paha777 [63]
It gets converted from one form to other forms.

The great thing about the incandescent light bulb ... the original kind,
invented by Thomas Edison ... is that it can take electrical energy and
instantly turn it into light energy and heat energy.  So you can use the
bulbs in your house to see at night without burning candles or oil, and
you can even use them in your chicken coop to keep the chickens warm.  

I used one a few years ago when I found a tiny abandoned baby possum under the bush in my front yard.  The poor thing was almost frozen.  I put
it in a box with a few of my old T-shirts, and put an incandescent light bulb
under the box to keep it warm.  In the morning, I took it to a wildlife rescue place on the lake-shore here in Chicago.  They told me that the baby would
not have survived without the heat overnight.  And three months later, they
sent me an email saying that my baby possum had grown big and strong,
and that they took him to the forest preserve and released him in the wild.

That was a rare occasion.  We don't actually use light bulbs for heat too
much any more, so it's considered wasted energy in light bulbs. We have
better ways to generate heat now, and for light, we're changing to devices
that run cool and make a lot more light with the same amount of electrical
energy ... like fluorescent tubes, CFL curly bulbs, and LED bulbs.  The
incandescent bulb is going away. 

But the principal is still the same ... convert electrical energy into light energy.
