1.)the microwaves are absorbed by the water molecules in the cocoa. this causes the water molecules to vibrate very fast.

2.)this fast vibration causes the molecules to heat themselves up by means of bumping into each other (friction).

A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the

Serjik [45]

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
$W=-\Delta U = \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so $x_i=0$ . Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until $x_f$ is
$W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.

Which is the pathway for information through a neuron?

Mariulka [41]

Information travels along the axon once an impulse is received. The axon then takes it to the place where it can be sent off to another neuron

<span>dendrite → cell body → axon → axon terminals is the correct answer</span>

On a particle level, what happens when thermal conduction occurs within a solid?

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Faster particles bump into slower particles ( A )

Explanation:

Thermal conduction in a solid involves the microscopic collision of particles in the solid and this particles are made up of electrons, molecules and atoms. the collisions occur when faster particles collide with slower particles and this happens in a disorganized manner.

when cannot say for sure in what direction each of the particles is moving but there is surely collisions between particles which in turn results to transfer of kinetic and potential energies
