Which energy transformation takes place when a firecracker explodes

Physics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Chemical energy to kinetic energy, heat energy, sound energy and light energy.

Explanation: The crackers are made up of gunpowder which is a chemical substance. When this gunpowder powder burns it produces smoke and hot gases (generation of heat and light energy) which create high pressure inside the can and blows the can open, and make all the tiny particles of powder blow out and chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy.

It makes the air to push outward and when it collapses back, it leads to generation of sound. So the chemical energy stored in gunpowder gets converted to sound.

A sound wave travels in air toward the surface of a freshwater lake and enters into the water. The frequency of the sound does n
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of sound in air at 20⁰C is 343 m /s

velocity of sound in water at 20⁰C is 1481 m /s

The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air so its frequency

= 343 / 2.86 = 119.93 .

This frequency of  119.93 will remain unchanged in water .

wavelength in water = velocity in water / frequency

= 1481 / 119.93

= 12. 35 m .

How are volcanoes distributed
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Volcanic activity is widespread over the earth, but tends to be concentrated in specific locations. Volcanoes are most likely to occur along the margins of tectonic plates, especially in subduction zones where oceanic plates dive under continental plates. As the oceanic plate subducts beneath the surface, intense heat and pressure melts the rock. Molten rock material, magma, can then ooze its way toward the surface where it accumulates at the surface to create a volcano. Volcanic activity can be found along the Mid-ocean ridge system as well. Here, oceanic plates are diverging and magma spreads across the ocean floor, ultimately being exposed at the surface. Crustal spreading long the ridge is partly responsible for the volcanic activity of Iceland. It is also thought that a "hot spot" lies beneath the island that contributes to volcanism.

A charge of 8.5 × 10–6 C is in an electric field that has a strength of 3.2 × 105 N/C. What is the electric force acting on the
Sonja [21]

2.72 N

Explanation:

Step 1:

From the basic formula in electrostatics

F = E * q

where F = Force due to charges

           E = Electric field strength

           q = Charge

Step 2:

From the given question

q= 8.5*10^{-6} C

E = 3.2 * 10^{5} N/C

F = 8.5 * 10^{-6} * 3.2 * 10^{5} = 2.72 N

-BARSIC- [3]

If it takes cool air and passes it through the heat source using a fan or blower, the type of heat transfer is convection heat transfer.

<h3>What is heat transfer by convection?</h3>

Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another due to the movement of fluid.

During heat transfer by convection, cold air replaces hot risen air.

Thus, if it takes cool air and passes it through the heat source using a fan or blower, the type of heat transfer is convection heat transfer.
