Answer:

C. Chemical energy

Explanation:

The different types of energy listed in this question are:

A) Electrical energy: it is the energy related to the flow of electrical charges (current)

B) Nuclear energy: it is the energy contained in the nuclei of the atoms, and released during nuclear reactions

C) Chemical energy: it is the energy contained in the bonds between molecules, and it is released during chemical reactions

D) Thermal energy: it is the energy associated with the motion of molecules

Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to transform the light energy (coming from the Sun) into chemical energy. In fact, in this process, plants absorb CO2 (from the atmosphere) and solar energy (from the light), and they convert them into sugars (glucose) and oxygen. Therefore, the initial energy coming as solar energy is converted into energy of the bonds of the molecules of glucose (so, chemical energy).

So, the correct option is C).

Difference between incident ray and reflected ray

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

An incident ray is a ray of light that strikes a surface. The angle between this ray and the perpendicular or normal to the surface is the angle of incidence.

The reflected ray corresponding to a given incident ray, is the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface. The angle between the surface normal and the reflected ray is known as the angle of reflection. The Law of Reflection says that for a specular (non-scattering) surface, the angle of reflection always equals the angle of incidence.

On a hot summer day several swimmers decide to jump into a river. They step off the bridge and strike the water at 1.5s later. I

Lilit [14]

The only equation you need is the Δy = v₀t + 1/2at², and in this case, v₀t = 0 because the swimmers are starting from rest. Therefore, Δy = 1/2at², and that is 1/2 x (10m/s²) x (1.5)² = 11.25m.
With sigfigs it is 11m.

Two charged particles are projected into a magnetic field that is perpendicular to their initial velocities. If the charges are

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The two charged particles are opposite charge (one positive, the other negative)

Explanation:

This can be explained through Fleming's left hand rule. As we know in Fleming's LH rule

Thumb: represent motion of the charge

Fore finger: direction of magnetic field

Centre finger: direction of current

In this case, the direction of magnetic field is in one way (perpendicular to direction of the particles motion)

If the charge is positive, equivalently it's direction is the same as the direction of current. If the charge is negative, it's direction is opposite the direction of current.

Using the fleming left hand rule, we'll see that as we change the direction of current without changing the direction of field, the direction of motion will change towards the opposite way.

For example, let's say the particles is moving away from you and the magnetic field is from left to right:

If the charge is positive (hence direction of current is away from you), the particles will move downward.

If the charge is negative (hence direction of current is toward you), the particles will move upward.

With these evidence, no doubt that the two particles have different charges.
