Answer:

The correct answer is A. Vibration.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves is formed by the oscillation of matter and therefore transfer energy from one medium to the other. Unlike electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves need some medium to propagate. It requires an initial energy input and thus carries this energy when it propagates. There are three types of mechanical waves namely transverse waves, longitudinal waves and surface waves. Examples of such waves are sound waves, water waves and seismic waves.

a college student produces about 100 kcal of heat per hour on the average what is the rate of energy production and joules

Bond [772]

Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

$\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\ \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h
