We know, U = m * g * h
U = 4000 * 9.8 * 20
U = 784000 J

In short, Your Answer would be: 784000 J or 784 KJ

Hope this helps!

C. This is the idea of "black body radiation". Charcoal/carbon is a "perfect black body". Absorbs all radiation. There's a whole host of stuff about this in physics, including, I think, Planck's (Nobel Prize winner) black body radiation theory.

what is the energy required to melt down a 12,400g Gold bar assuming its temperature goes from 23c to 1,064c
sergejj [24]

1665183.6J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Gold = 12400g

Initial temperature = 23°C

Final temperature = 1064°C

Unknown:

Energy required to melt = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat required to cause this temperature change to heat the gold bar is given as;

   H    =   m  c Ф

 m is the mass of gold bar

  c is the specific heat capacity of gold

  Ф is the heat change

 Specific heat capacity of gold = 0.129J/g°C

  H = m c (Ф₂ - Ф₁)

 H = 12400 x 0.129 x (1064 - 23) = 1665183.6J

when electrical energy is used what type of energy is also produced and considered to be waste energy?​
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

<em>Thermal energy</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electrical Energy </u>

The electrical energy has been found to be an excellent resource to power our modern lifestyle. It can be produced in several ways including hydroelectrical plants, thermal plants, nuclear plants, solar panels, among many others. Each one of them converts different types of energy into electrical energy.

When converting to electrical energy, some equipment is needed, like generators, transformers, cables, circuit breakers, and every kind of devices with specific functions to have a good and safe electrical service. Each device has an internal resistance that opposes the flow of current. The resistances produce thermal energy as a result of current flowing through them. It's not possible to avoid this waste of energy, electrical engineers do their best to use better materials and configurations to reduce the thermal waste to a minimum.
