How is light energy different from both sound and heat energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Xelga [282]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Light is energy that travels in waves and is produced by hot, energetic objects, while sound and heat energy are created with vibration and radiation, convection, or conduction.

Explanation:

Light bulbs are hot, energetic objects. You know the light bulb needs energy because you have to turn the light switch on to provide electricity for it. The electricity flows through either a thin metal wire or a gas. The wire or gas glows and gives off light when heated.

The 20-g bullet is travelling at 400 m/s when it becomes embedded in the 2-kg stationary block. The coefficient of kinetic frict
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The distance the block will slide before it stops is 3.3343 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 20-g = 0.02 kg

speed of the bullet, u₁ =  400 m/s

mass of block, m₂ = 2-kg

coefficient of kinetic friction,  μk = 0.24

Step 1:

Determine the speed of the bullet-block system:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the speed of the bullet-block system after collision

(0.02 x 400) + (2 x 0) = v (0.02 + 2)

8 = v (2.02)

v = 8/2.02

v = 3.9604 m/s

Step 2:

Determine the time required for the bullet-block system to stop

Apply the principle of conservation momentum of the system

v(m_1+m_2) -F_kt = v_f(m_1 +m_2)\\\\v(m_1+m_2) -N \mu_kt = v_f(m_1 +m_2)\\\\v(m_1+m_2) -g(m_1 +m_2) \mu_kt = v_f(m_1 +m_2)\\\\3.9604(2.02)-9.8(2.02)0.24t = v_f(2.02)\\\\8 - 4.751t = 2.02v_f\\\\3.9604 - 2.352t = v_f

when the system stops, vf = 0

3.9604 -2.352t = 0

2.352t = 3.9604

t = 3.9604/2.352

t = 1.684 s

Thus, time required for the system to stop is 1.684 s

Finally, determine the distance the block will slide before it stops

From kinematic, distance is the product of speed and time

S = \int\limits {v} \, dt \\\\S = \int\limits^t_0 {(3.9604-2.352t)} \, dt\\\\ S = 3.9604t - 1.176t^2

Now, recall that t = 1.684 s

S = 3.9604(1.684) - 1.176(1.684)²

S = 6.6693 - 3.3350

S = 3.3343 m

Thus, the distance the block will slide before it stops is 3.3343 m

What does atomic spectrum mean?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The range of characteristic frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that are readily absorbed and emitted by an atom. The atomic spectrum is an effect of the quantized orbits of electrons around the atom

Additional Facts:

  • Atomic spectra can also be analyzed to determine the composition of objects
  • The frequency depends on the difference in energy between the orbitals. Explaining this phenomenon was crucial to the development of quantum mechanics
  • Occurs due to the fact are quantized at specific levels determined by the atomic number

What is the velocity of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 meters and frequency of 0.5<br> Hz?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

recall that velocity is related to wavelength and frequency by the formula

v = fλ

where v = velocity, f = frequency and λ= wavelength

Simply substitute these into the formula:

v = fλ

v = (0.5)(20)

v = 10 m/s
