Before radiant energy can be converted to thermal energy,it must be changed to what​

Physics
1 answer:
vivado [14]4 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer</u>:

The radiant energy is converted into<u> electronic energy</u> before it is transformed into thermal energy.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Radiant energy occurs in the form of "Electromagnetic radiation" and it can pass through all types of matter travelling through the universe. There are numerous advantages of radiant energy. When the radiant energy is incident upon a substance the energy from the sun light excites the electrons in the atom. This sets the atoms in vibrational motion.

Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of moving particles. The thermal energy increases with increase in movement and number of moving particles. When the atoms make a transition from electronically excited state to vibrational state, the energy transfer increases the temperature of the substance. This is felt as thermal energy. Hence, the radiant energy is changed into "electronic energy" before it is converted into "thermal energy".

When are zeros significant when found to the trailing (to the right) of the decimal point?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Usually, zeroes are found to the right of a decimal point in significant numbers if you have something like 7\frac{1}{100000000000000000000000000} (exaggerated example of course), which is when you have a number that is very very close to the integer before it, but isn't that integer.

A 4.50-g bullet, traveling horizontally with a velocity of magnitude 400 m/s, is fired into a wooden block with mass 0.650 kg ,
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a)  μ = 0.1957 , b) ΔK = 158.8 J , c)    K = 0.683 J

Explanation:

We must solve this problem in parts, one for the collision and the other with the conservation of energy

Let's find the speed of the wood block after the crash

Initial moment. Before the crash

            p₀ = m v₁₀ + M v₂₀

Final moment. Right after the crash

           pf = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

           

The system is made up of the block and the bullet, so the moment is preserved

           p₀ = pf

          m v₁₀ = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

          v_{2f} = m (v₁₀ - v_{1f}) / M

          v_{2f} = 4.5 10-3 (400 - 190) /0.65

          v_{2f} = 1.45 m / s

Now we can use the energy work theorem for the wood block

Starting point

                Em₀ = K = ½ m v2f2

Final point

                Emf = 0

                W = ΔEm

               - fr x = 0 - ½ m v₂₂2f2

The friction force is

               fr = μN

     

With Newton's second law

               N- W = 0

               N = Mg

We substitute

               -μ Mg x = - ½ M v2f2

                μ = ½ v2f2 / gx

Let's calculate

            μ = ½ 1.41 2 / 9.8 0.72

            μ = 0.1957

b) let's look for the initial and final kinetic energy

           K₀ = 1/2 m v₁²

           K₀ = ½ 4.50 10⁻³ 400²

           K₀ = 2.40 10²  J

           Kf = ½ 4.50 10⁻³ 190²

           Kf = 8.12 10¹  J

Energy reduction is

              K₀ - Kf = 2.40 10²- 8.12 10¹

              ΔK = 158.8 J

c) kinetic energy

              K = ½ M v²

              K = ½ 0.650 1.45²

              K = 0.683 J

A pickup truck is carrying a toolbox, but the rear gate of the truck is missing, so the box will slide out if it is set moving.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

t=7.33 s

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

\sum F=m*a

because we don't want the box to slide, the acceleration has to be zero.

\sum F=-F_{friction}+F_{truck}=0\\F_{truck}=F_{friction}\\F_{friction}=\µ*m*g=0.500*9.81*m\\F_{friction}=4.91*m

we know that:

F=m*a\\4.91m=m*a\\a=4.91m/s^2

Now having the acceleration, we can use the following formula.

v_f=a*t\\t=\frac{36.0m/s}{4.91m/s^2}\\\\t=7.33s
