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.

Standing on the roof of a (42.0+A) m tall building, you throw a ball straight up with an initial speed of (14.5+B) m/s. If the b

RSB [31]

First, we must find the vertical distance traveled upwards by the ball due to the throw. For this, we will use the formula:

2as = v² - u²

Because the final velocity v is 0 in such cases

s = -u²/2a; because both u and a are downwards, the negative sign cancels

s = 14.5² / 2*9.81
s = 10.72 meters

Next, to find the time taken to reach the ground, we need the height above the ground. This is:
45 + 10.72 = 55.72 m

We will use the formula
s = ut + 0.5at²

to find the time taken with the initial velocity u = 0.

55.72 = 0.5 * 9.81 * t²

t = 3.37 seconds

15 Points , Physics HW, can someone please show me step by step how to calculate percent difference for this problem. My numbers

timofeeve [1]

The percent difference between two numbers $x$ and $y$ is given by

$\dfrac{|y-x|}x \times 100\%$

The absolute value is there because we only care about the absolute percent difference, and not taking into account whether we go from $x$ to $y$ or vice versa. If we remove them, we have two possible interpretations of percent difference.

For example, the (absolute) percent difference between 3 and 6 is

$\dfrac{|6-3|}3 \times 100\% = 100\%$

In other words, we add 100% of 3 to 3 to end up with 6. This is the same as the percent difference going from 3 to 6. On the other hand, the percent difference going from 6 to 3 is

$\dfrac{3-6}3\times100\%=-50\%$

which is to say, we take away 50% of 6 away from 6 to end up with 3.

"Make comparisons to object measurements" tells us that the differences should be computed relative to "measurements for object". In other words, take $x$ from the left column and $y$ from the right column.

$\dfrac{|7.1-7.3|}{7.1} \times 100\% \approx 2.82\%$

$\dfrac{|4.8-5.0|}{4.8} \times 100\% \approx 4.17\%$

$\dfrac{|7.2-7.5|}{7.2} \times 100\% \approx 4.17\%$

What role did gravity play in the formation of the planets?

joja [24]

Your answer would be D.
If an object has mass, it has gravity, and the more mass it has, the stronger its gravity. During the formation of planets, essentially, various matter and elements pulled and fused together (because of the gravity), forming planetesimals.

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. The heat capacity of Object A is

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat capacity A = 3 x heat capacity of B

initial temperature of A = 2 x initial temperature of B

TA = 2 TB

Let T be the final temperature of the system

Heat lost by A is equal to the heat gained by B

mass of A x specific heat of A x (TA - T) = mass of B x specific heat of B x ( T - TB)

heat capacity of A x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 x heat capacity of B x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 TA - 3 T = T - TB

6 TB + TB = 4 T

T = 1.75 TB
