Answer:

1. Thermal Energy is the internal energy that is produced from the temperature of a heated substance/object.

2. From the potato to the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room

Explanation:

1. When an object or substance is heated it causes a rise in temperature which makes the atoms and molecules within the object move/vibrate faster and collide with each other. This kinetic energy energy comes from the temperature of the object being heated and is the thermal energy.

2. The atoms present in a hot object have higher kinetic energy when compared to a colder object and usually flow towards the colder object. This is why it is possible for the hot potato whose temperature is higher than the bowl of soup to flow towards the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room.

If the current in each wire is the same, which wire produces the strongest magnetic field?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: option 4: A wire that is 2-mm thick and coiled.

Explanation:

The current in each wire is same. The magnetic field due to a current carrying wire increases if the wire is coiled with the more number of turns. A thick wire would cause low resistance to the current. Hence, a 2-mm thick wire which is coiled would produce the strongest magnetic field.

A tree falls in a forest. How many years must pass before the 14C activity in 1.03 g of the tree's carbon drops to 1.02 decay pe
Illusion [34]

Answer:

t = 5.59x10⁴ y

Explanation:

To calculate the time for the ¹⁴C drops to 1.02 decays/h, we need to use the next equation:

A_{t} = A_{0}\cdot e^{- \lambda t}    (1)

<em>where A_{t}: is the number of decays with time, A₀: is the initial activity, λ: is the decay constant and t: is the time.</em>

To find A₀ we can use the following equation:  

A_{0} = N_{0} \lambda   (2)

<em>where N₀: is the initial number of particles of ¹⁴C in the 1.03g of the trees carbon </em>

From equation (2), the N₀ of the ¹⁴C in the trees carbon can be calculated as follows:        

N_{0} = \frac{m_{T} \cdot N_{A} \cdot abundance}{m_{^{12}C}}

<em>where m_{T}: is the tree's carbon mass, N_{A}: is the Avogadro's number and m_{^{12}C}: is the ¹²C mass.  </em>

N_{0} = \frac{1.03g \cdot 6.022\cdot 10^{23} \cdot 1.3\cdot 10^{-12}}{12} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} atoms ^{14}C    

Similarly, from equation (2) λ is:

\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}

<em>where t 1/2: is the half-life of ¹⁴C= 5700 years </em>

\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{5700y} = 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}

So, the initial activity A₀ is:  

A_{0} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} \cdot 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} = 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y    

Finally, we can calculate the time from equation (1):

t = - \frac{Ln(A_{t}/A_{0})}{\lambda} = - \frac {Ln(\frac{1.02decays \cdot 24h \cdot 365d}{1h\cdot 1d \cdot 1y \cdot 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y})}{1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}} = 5.59 \cdot 10^{4} y              

I hope it helps you!

A truck tire rotates at an initial angular speed of 21.5 rad/s. The driver steadily accelerates, and after 3.50 s the tire's ang
erma4kov [3.2K]

Given:

initial angular speed, \omega _{i} = 21.5 rad/s

final angular speed, \omega _{f} = 28.0 rad/s

time, t = 3.50 s

Solution:

Angular acceleration can be defined as the time rate of change of angular velocity and is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f} - \omega _{i}}{t}

Now, putting the given values in the above formula:

\alpha = \frac{28.0 - 21.5}{3.50}

\alpha = 1.86 m/s^{2}

Therefore, angular acceleration is:

\alpha = 1.86 m/s^{2}
