EXPLAIN HOW ENERGY IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH A MEDIUM

Physics

Energy can be transmitted through a medium in one of 3 ways:

Conduction -  This occurs when particles of a substance collide with one another, transferring some of their energy to each other in the process. This generally occurs most rapidly in solids due to the close proximity and order of the particles, and most slowly in gases, due to the sparse nature of the particles.

Convection - This occurs when a fluid has a temperature gradient decreasing with increasing altitude. For example, when a pan of water is heated, the higher energy water molecules at the bottom have a lower density than the lower energy molecules at the top of the pan and travel upwards through the liquid, while their place is taken by the lower energy molecules. This phenomenon also occurs in gases (think hot air balloon).

Radiation - This does not involve the movement of particles whatsoever, instead the energy is being transferred in the form of electromagnetic radiation (such as light). This is how the Sun heats the earth, as there are very few particles in space, certainly not enough for conduction/convection. (Note: this does technically involve the movement of particle called photons that make up the radiation, but they are not treated as physical particles like molecules).

Hope this helps.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

B. parents

Explanation:

one of the conclusions from Einsteins relativity theory for his equation E=mC^{2} (where E is energy, m is mass and C is the speed of light),

is that time moves relative to the observer. Time moves more slowly when the observer is in motion (time dilation), therefore an individual in motion ages more slowly than someone at rest. This in fact happened when astronaut Scot Kelly spent nearly a year on board the international space station and on his return, his twin brother had aged slightly faster than him. In conclusion, if a space trip finds a son or daughter is biologically older than his or her parents, the space trip was taken by the parents.

Sliva [168]

The event in the life of a star that begins its expansion into a giant is its core that was hot enough for fusion reaction.

<h3>What is fusion reaction?</h3>

Nuclear fusion is a type of reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are fuse to form one or more different atomic nuclei with the release or the absorption of energy.

So we can conclude that the event in the life of a star that begins its expansion into a giant is its core that was hot enough for fusion reaction.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Weeds are very important agronomically because they reduce the yield of crops in three ways: by competing with the crop for water, light and nutrients, by interfering with crop harvest, and by contaminating harvested products with weed seeds and toxins. Weeds can reduce yield up to 50% and are responsible for millions of dollars in crop losses each year.

It’s biotic factor would be competition as Competition can be defined as an interaction between organisms or species, in which the fitness of one is lowered by the presence of another.
