Answer:

350J

Explanation:

Based on the first law of thermodynamics, which is the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor lost but can only be transformed. This implies that energy input of a system must equate the energy output as no energy can be lost.

In this case regarding an unlit match that contains 1000J of chemical energy. It burns to emit light energy and heat/thermal energy. If the amount of emitted thermal energy measured is 400J and the remaining/left over amount of chemical energy is 250J, this means that the missing amount of energy has been emitted as light energy.

To find the amount of light energy emitted, we say;

Amount of chemical energy - (thermal energy emitted + remaining chemical energy)

= 1000 - (400 + 250)

= 1000 - 650

= 350J

Hence, the amount of light energy emitted is 350J. This satisfies the law of conservation of energy because the output energy is equal to the total energy in the system.

Indicate the number of significant figures in the following measured numbers:
inysia [295]

Answer: a = 2 ; f = 5 ; b = 2 ; g = 2 ; c = 2 ; h = 2 ; d = 4 ; i = 5 ; e = 3 ; j = 7

Explanation: Some rules to follow while calculating sig figs is

1. If a number like 4500 is present, only two sig figs are counted, but none of the zeros are, but if 4500. has a decimal point present, then you should count all the numbers available.

2. If a number like .0005 is present, only count 5 as a sig fig, however if the number is .00050, count the 0 after the 5 in this example (this would then have two sig figs.

If the distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5, by what factor does the force on t
dexar [7]

Given :

The distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5.

To Find :

By what factor does the force on the neutral atom by the point charge change.

Solution :

We know, electrostatic force between two object is directly proportional to product of charge and inversely proportional to distance between them.

Now, charge in neutral atom is 0 C.

So, the electrostatic force between two of them is also 0 N.

Therefore, by changing distance between the charge the forces did no change ( it remains zero).
