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.

an object moving at 10. km/hr has a kinetic energy of 10. J. what is the kinetic energy of the same object if it is moving at 20
Schach [20]
Kinetic energy is related to velocity by:
KE = (1/2)mv^2

solve for mass m
10 = (1/2)m(10)^2
10 = (1/2)m(100)
10= 50m
10/50 = m
1/5 = m

at 20 km/hr

KE = (1/2)(1/5)(20)^2
KE = (1/10)(400)
KE = 40 J

What is the correct answer?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

B) x^2+6x+8

Explanation:

x-4 | x^3+2x^2-16x-32

    -  x^3-4x^2             <-- (x-4)(x^2)

_________________

              6x^2-16x-32

           -  6x^2-24x     <-- (x-4)(6x)

_________________

                          8x-32

                       -  8x-32 <- (x-4)(8)

___________________________

                                 0 | x^2+6x+8

This means the answer is B) x^2+6x+8

State the difference between sensible heat and latent heat
Anna11 [10]

<u>Latent hea</u>t is related to changes in phase between liquids ,gases and solids.

<u>Sensible heat</u> is related to changes in temperature of a gas or object with no change in phase.

Erica (38 kg ) and danny (43 kg ) are bouncing on a trampoline. just as erica reaches the high point of her bounce, danny is mov
AfilCa [17]
<span>2.5 m/s going upward.
   In the situation described, Erica and Danny undergo a non-elastic collision which will conserve their combined momentum. Since Erica is stationary, her momentum is 0. And since Danny is moving upward at 4.7 m/s his momentum is 43 kg * 4.7 m/s = 202.1 kg*m/s. Assuming that both Erica and Danny will be moving as a joined system, their combined mass is 38 kg + 43 kg = 81 kg. Since the momentum will be the same, their velocity will be 202.1 kg*m/s / 81 kg = 2.495061728 m/s. Since we only have 2 significant figures in the provided data, rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives a velocity of 2.5 m/s going upward.</span>
