Answer:

Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction refers to the transfer of energy through the movement of particles that are in contact with each other. It could be heat conduction, electrical conduction or sound conduction. Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the transfer of energy from a warmer substance to a colder one through direct contact, for example, someone touching the handle of a hot metal skillet.

Electrical conduction is the transfer of electrically charged particles through a medium, for example, electricity traveling through the power lines in a house.

Sound conduction (or acoustic conduction) is the transfer of sound waves through a medium, for example, vibrations from loud music passing through a wall.

Answer:

Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction is applied to the situation in which energy has been transferred from faster particles to slower ones and as a result the particles end up traveling at the same speed. The collision between particles is elastic, hence no energy is lost in the process of collision and hence slower particles are accelerated and faster particles are slowed down to match the speeds while achieving the same temperature.

A resistor, capacitor, and switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Initially, the s
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.

Explanation:

This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery

Two spacecraft are both 10 million kilometers from a star. The total power output of the star is 4 x 1025 W. Spacecraft 1 has a
Ksenya-84 [330]

The concept of power is given by the relationship between intensity and area, that is to say that power is defined as

P = A*I

Our values are given under the condition of,

r_1 = 18m

r_2 = m

The power is proportional to the Area, and in turn, we know that the Area of a circle is the product between \pi  times the radius squared, therefore the power is proportional to the radius squared.

\text{Power} \propto r^2

For both panels we would have to

\frac{\text{Power by panel 1}}{\text{Power by panel 2}} = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = (\frac{18}{6})^2

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 9

Therefore the correct option is option C.9
