When a rock is held above the ground, we say it has some potential energy. When we let it go, it falls and we say the potential

energy is converted to kinetic energy. Finally, the rock hits the ground (and stays there). What has happened to the energy?

Answer:

Energy converted to heat and sound. Deformation of soil or ground may also take up some energy.

Explanation:

When the rock hits the ground, a part of the energy is converted to heat (thermal energy) and sound. If the ground is soft, it will be compressed by the rock when it lands. This deformation of the ground will take up some of the energy.

We can think of kinetic energy being transferred to the ground in the following way:

1. Ball hits the ground, and transfers kinetic energy to lots of soil particles.

2. Soil particles move a bit and transfer the energy to soil particles ahead of them.

3. Kinetic energy is transferred to a very large number of soil particles, and they move so little that we consider this vibration motion.

4. This small vibration motion is now considered as internal energy or 'heat'.

create a formula giving the strength of the induced field (B) i terms of current (I) and the distance from the wire to the probe
iren [92.7K]
So we need to find the formula for magnetic field B using the current (I) and the distance from the probe (d). So, We know that the stronger the current I, the stronger the magnetic field B. That tells us that the I and B are proportional. Also we know that the strength of the magnetic field B is weaker as the distance d of the probe increases. That tells us that B and d are inversely proportional. So our formula should have B=(I/d)*c where c is a constant of proportionality. c=μ₀/2π where μ₀ is the permeability of free space. So finally our formula is B=(μ₀I)/(2πd).

The energy of a photon of light is __________ proportional to its frequency and __________ proportional to its wavelength.
icang [17]

Answer:

D) directly, inversely

Explanation:

The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.

Frequency is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time.

Wavelength is the is the distance between successive crests or troughs on a wave.

 Mathematically, frequency is related to wavelength and velocity using;

             Energy   =  h x f

                      where h is the Planck's constant

                                  f is the frequency

         

                   Since c  = f ∧

where f is the frequency of the wave

           ∧ is the wavelength of the wave

           c is the speed of light

So;

                 f  = c/∧

  Therefore;

                E  = \frac{h c}{wavelength}

From the equation, we see an inverse relationship between E and wavelength and a direct one with frequency.

A refrigerator with a weight of 1,127 newtons needs to be moved into a house using a ramp. The length of the ramp is 2.1 meters,
mestny [16]
The used work of energy output is 496*2.1=1041.6 J. And the actual work of energy output is 1127*0.85=957.95 J. The percentage efficiency is 957.95/1041.6*100%=91.97 %.
