Wood has chemical energy, which can be used to generate thermal and radiant energy when burned in a fireplace. Which best explai

ns what happens to the total amount of energy in this scenario? The total energy in the system increases because chemical energy creates thermal and radiant energy. The total energy in the system decreases because chemical energy disappears as thermal and radiant energy are generated. The total energy in the system remains the same as the decrease in chemical energy equals the increase in thermal and radiant energy. The total energy in the system remains the same as the increase in chemical energy equals the decrease in thermal and radiant energy.

An electron is initially at rest in a uniform electric field having a strength of 1.85 × 106 V/m. It is then released and accele

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$W = 462.5 keV$

Explanation:

As we know that when electron moved in electric field then work done by electric field must be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the electron

So here we have to find the work done by electric field on moving electron

So we have

$F = qE$

$F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(1.85 \times 10^6)$

$F = 2.96 \times 10^{-13} N$

now the distance moved by the electron is given as

$d = 0.25 m$

so we have

$W = F.d$

$W = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(1.85 \times 10^6)(0.25)$

$W = 7.4 \times 10^{-14} J$

now we have to convert it into keV units

so we have

$1 keV = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J$

$W = 462.5 keV$

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?

lubasha [3.4K]

1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}$
so in our problem we have
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}$
and the equivalent resistance is
$R_{eq} = \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega$

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
$I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A$

Suppose we measure the energy stored in some inductor to be E when there is a current I running through it. If I double the curr

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).

Explanation:

The coil or inductor is a passive component made of an insulated wire that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field due to its form of coiled turns of wire, through a phenomenon called self-induction. In other words, inductors store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The energy stored in the space where there is a magnetic field in the inductor is:

$E=\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}$

where E is Energy [J], L is Inductance [H] and I is Current [A].

If you double the current in the inductor, then the new value of the current is I'= 2*I. So replacing the new total energy is:

$E'=\frac{1}{2} *L*I'^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*(2*I)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*4*I^{2}=4*\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}$

Then:

$E'=4*E$

<em><u>If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).</u></em>

How does Mercury's close proximity to the sun and thin atmosphere affect its ability to maintain liquid water

alekssr [168]

Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field given by E =-2.30 x 10-10 N/Cj. After the electron has traveled a ver

Goshia [24]

Explanation:

It is given that,

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field of, $E=2.3\times 10^{-10}\ N/C$

Vertical distance covered, $s=1\ \mu m=10^{-6}\ m$

We need to find the speed of the electron. Let its speed is v. Using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$v^2=2as$ .............(1)

Electric force is $F_e$ and force of gravity is $F_g$ . As both forces are acting in downward direction. So, total force is:

$F=mg+qE$

$F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8+1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2.3\times 10^{-10}$

$F=4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N$

Acceleration of the electron, $a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}$

$a=50.21\ m/s^2$

Put the value of a in equation (1) as :

$v=\sqrt{2as}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 50.21\times 10^{-6}}$

v = 0.010 m/s

So, the speed of the electron is 0.010 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
