INFiNiTiV is correct! I just took the test on PLATO. The answer is C. Waves transfer energy, but not matter.

Waves transfer energy not matter. so simply put, the water doesn't move. it's just being used as a road that energy uses to get from point a to b. it's easier to think of some thing on the water rather than the water it self. like a cork floating on the surface. when a wave passes through the cork. the cork goes up to the peak of the wave and then down to the trough of the wave and then back at equilibrium. it only moved up and down since it was following the wave pattern. if the waves transfered matter as well as energy then the cork would begin to get pushed by the wave and move towards the direction of travel

What is the flow of energy from the falling water to the steam?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The flow of energy from falling water to the steam is;

a) Mechanical → Mechanical → Electrical → Thermal → Thermal

Explanation:

1) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water in the pipe before it falls possesses potential energy which it converts into kinetic energy as it falls from height

2) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water falling from the pipe stream unto the turbine wheel transfers its kinetic (mechanical) energy due to its motion on to the turbine wheel to give the wheel rotational motion

3) Mechanical → Electrical

The kinetic (mechanical) energy from the rotating turbine wheel is converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator which transported through the electrical circuit

4) Electrical → Thermal

The electrical energy from the electric current is then converted into thermal energy as the current passes through the resistors in the heating filament

5) Thermal → Thermal

The heated filament transfers thermal energy to the the water in the beaker by conduction which raises the temperature of the water such that as the water acquires more thermal energy it turns into steam

Therefore, we have the flow of energy from the falling water to steam as follows;

1) Mechanical 2) Mechanical 3) Electrical 4) Thermal 5) Thermal

A uniform 4.4 t magnetic field points north. if an electron moves vertically downward (toward the ground) with a speed of 2.5 ×
Reil [10]

Answer:

1.8\cdot 10^{-11} N

Explanation:

The force acting on the electron due to the magnetic field is

F=qvB sin \theta

where

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge of the electron

v=2.5\cdot 10^7 m/s is its speed

B=4.4 T is the intensity of the magnetic field

\theta=90^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the field and the velocity of the electron

Substituting all the numbers into the equation, we find

F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(2.5\cdot 10^7 m/s)(4.4 T) sin 90^{\circ}=1.8\cdot 10^{-11} N

I would like to know how can I practice physics grade 10 questions?​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Go to K.han Academy and look up High School Physics on there. Other than that You.Tube has some physics curriculums which probably have practice questions. If not you could just pause the video and see if you can answer the questions they're going over yourself. Also, searching up "Physics Worksheet" and such may help.
