When a candle burns, which forms of energy does the chemical energy in the candle change to?

1 answer:

8 0

When a candle burns, the form energy that is being transformed from chemical energy would be heat energy and light energy. The flame is in the form of light energy. Also, <span>the wax melts and then volatilizes, so some energy is going into the material to do that, called latent heat.</span>

A wave with a frequency of 80 Hz travels through rubber with a wavelength of 7.0 m. What is the velocity of the wave?

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

560 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Frequency ( f ) = 80 hz

Wavelength ( λ ) = 7.0 m = 7m

To find : Velocity ( v )

Formula : -

v = f λ

v = 80 x 7

v = 560 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the wave is 560 m/s.

With a force of 5 newtons, Amanda pushes the stack of books to the right. At the same time, Jeremy, her little brother, pushes t

Vaselesa [24]

Its letter C. 5N to the left. Since Jeremy's force in Newtons are higher than Amanda's (in newtons), and since Jeremy's force directs to the left, then the direction of the force will be to the LEFT. Then subtract the higher one to the lower one so that would be: 10N-5N=5N. So it is C. 5N to the left.

magine an astronaut on an extrasolar planet, standing on a sheer cliff 50.0 m high. She is so happy to be on a different planet,

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$\Delta t=(\frac{20}{g'}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'} } )-(\frac{20}{g}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g} } )$

Explanation:

Given:

height above which the rock is thrown up, $\Delta h=50\ m$

initial velocity of projection, $u=20\ m.s^{-1}$

let the gravity on the other planet be g'

The time taken by the rock to reach the top height on the exoplanet:

$v=u+g'.t'$

where:

$v=$ final velocity at the top height = 0 $m.s^{-1}$

$0=20-g'.t'$ (-ve sign to indicate that acceleration acts opposite to the velocity)

$t'=\frac{20}{g'}\ s$

The time taken by the rock to reach the top height on the earth:

$v=u+g.t$

$0=20-g.t$

$t=\frac{20}{g} \ s$

Height reached by the rock above the point of throwing on the exoplanet:

$v^2=u^2+2g'.h'$

where:

$v=$ final velocity at the top height = 0 $m.s^{-1}$

$0^2=20^2-2\times g'.h'$

$h'=\frac{200}{g'}\ m$

Height reached by the rock above the point of throwing on the earth:

$v^2=u^2+2g.h$

$0^2=20^2-2g.h$

$h=\frac{200}{g}\ m$

The time taken by the rock to fall from the highest point to the ground on the exoplanet:

$(50+h')=u.t_f'+\frac{1}{2} g'.t_f'^2$ (during falling it falls below the cliff)

here:

$u=$ initial velocity= 0 $m.s^{-1}$

$\frac{200}{g'}+50 =0+\frac{1}{2} g'.t_f'^2$

$t_f'^2=\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}$

$t_f'=\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'} }$

Similarly on earth:

$t_f=\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g} }$

Now the required time difference:

$\Delta t=(t'+t_f')-(t+t_f)$

$\Delta t=(\frac{20}{g'}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'} } )-(\frac{20}{g}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g} } )$

Which form of emission is commonly not written in nuclear equations because they do not affect charges, atomic numbers, or mass

salantis [7]

Answer:

Gamma radiation .

Explanation:

Three types of emission result at the time of nuclear emission .

alpha emission

Beta emission

Gamma radiation emission

Gamma radiation results in the emission of gamma ray . This is a very high frequency radiation . It is not a particle having charge and mass like alpha and beta emission . So it has no effect on the mass and charge of the product that is formed after gamma radiation . The only effect it has on the product is that it reduces the kinetic energy of the emitting particles or it reduces the internal energy of the product . It causes negligible change in the mass of the product and no change in the charge of the product.

That is why , generally this product is not written in the nuclear reaction .
